A time‐varying network model for sexually transmitted infections accounting for behavior and control actions [PDF]
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, 2021 AbstractIn this article, we propose a stochastic network model for the spread of common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The model expands the standard susceptible–infected–susceptible model by incorporating asymptomatic infected individuals—who are unaware that they are posing a health threat to themselves and the population—and individuals ...

Journal of Public Transportation, 2021 The conventional bus propagation process has two main shortcomings: one is bus bunching, the other is extra energy consumption by idling at signalized intersection and unexpected speed variation along the route. To overcome these problems simultaneously, an extended bus propagation model and an anti-bunching control are proposed.

Development of reasoning: Behavioral evidence to support reinforcement over cognitive control accounts [PDF]
Cognitive Neuroscience, 2010 Abstract Speed's theory makes two predictions for the development of analogical reasoning. Firstly, young children should not be able to reason analogically due to an undeveloped PFC neural network. Secondly, category knowledge enables the reinforcement of structural features over surface features, and thus the development of sophisticated, analogical,

Dopaminergic Control of Motivation and Reinforcement Learning: A Closed-Circuit Account for Reward-Oriented Behavior [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 Humans and animals take actions quickly when they expect that the actions lead to reward, reflecting their motivation. Injection of dopamine receptor antagonists into the striatum has been shown to slow such reward-seeking behavior, suggesting that dopamine is involved in the control of motivational processes. Meanwhile, neurophysiological studies have

Risk-Sensitive Optimal Feedback Control Accounts for Sensorimotor Behavior under Uncertainty
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 Many aspects of human motor behavior can be understood using optimality principles such as optimal feedback control. However, these proposed optimal control models are risk-neutral; that is, they are indifferent to the variability of the movement cost.

Can Collateral Behavior Account for Transitions in the Stimulus Control of Speech? [PDF]
The Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2017 The task of extending Skinner's (1957) interpretation of verbal behavior includes accounting for the moment-to-moment changes in stimulus control as one speaks. A consideration of the behavior of the reader reminds us of the continuous evocative effect of verbal stimuli on readers, listeners, and speakers.
