Making Behavioral Activation More Behavioral

Behavior Modification, 2008
Behavioral Activation, an efficacious treatment for depression, presents a behavioral theory of depression—emphasizing the need for clients to contact positive reinforcement—and a set of therapeutic techniques—emphasizing provision of instructions rather than therapeutic provision of reinforcement.

Active behavior of the Cytoskeleton

Physics Reports, 2007
This review presents some of our recent results on active polar gels. Active polar gels are viscoelastic materials formed by polar filaments which are maintained in a non-equilibrium state by constant consumption of energy. This non-equilibrium state is characterized by the existence of internal stresses and spontaneous flows.

Behavioral Activation and Rehabilitation

Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 2008
Rehabilitation from a mental or physical disorder can become complicated when patients feel overwhelmed by symptoms and unable to make progress. Newer behavioral approaches have been developed that can help these patients. This article describes behavioral activation techniques designed to address depression.

A Theory of Activity Scheduling Behavior [PDF]

Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 1981
Recognizing that travel is a demand derived from individuals' desires to undertake out-of-home activities, researchers in the area of travel demand have become increasingly interested in analyzing and predicting individuals' decisions about activity participation. This paper formulates a theory of activity scheduling for urban workers. In this theory,

Motor Activity and Verbal Behavior

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1963
The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of motor activity upon verbal behavior. 120 8th grade students served as Ss distributed among 6 experimental samples. Although Ss failed to condition verbally, and no interaction effect was found between verbal conditioning and motor activity, it was found that Ss engaged in a motor activity (

Behavioral Activation

Journal of Psychiatric Practice, 2014
Behavioral activation is an empirically validated treatment for depression pioneered in 1973 by Ferster, based on B.F. Skinner's behavioral principles. After publication of Beck's work on cognitive therapy, the boundaries of behavioral and cognitive therapies were blurred and the two now overlap substantially.

Activities: Abstractions for collective behavior

1996
Conventional object-oriented modeling lacks support for representing the interaction between objects in a conceptually intuitive way — often dispersing the logic/control of interplay throughout the objects. We introduce the concept of an activity as an abstraction mechanism to model the interplay between objects.

Variability in neural activity and behavior

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2014
Neural activity and behavior in laboratory experiments are surprisingly variable across trials. This variability and its potential causes have been the focus of a spirited debate. Here we review recent research that has shed light on the sources of neural variability and its impact on behavior.

PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL INDICANTS OF ACTIVATION

Psychophysiology, 1970
ABSTRACTThe present study demonstrates that various central and peripheral physiological variables are similarly altered by experimentally induced changes in activation while being dissimilarly altered during the course of a trial by unknown factors.
