Application of Quantum—Markov Open System Models to Human Cognition and Decision

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Markov processes, such as random walk models, have been successfully used by cognitive and neural scientists to model human choice behavior and decision time for over 50 years.

Contextual modulation of behavioral choice [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 2011
We review the influence of context on behavioral choice. Context can refer to external (environmental) factors such as the season or presence of predators and it can also refer to the internal or behavioral state of an animal. Usually, animals make decisions in the midst of other ongoing behaviors. We discuss recent findings on the impact of both types

CHOICE AND BEHAVIORAL PATTERNING [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1982
Ten pigeons pecked left and right keys in a discrete‐trials experiment in which access to food was contingent upon changeovers to the right key after particular runs of left‐key pecks. In each of three sets of conditions, two run lengths were reinforced according to a concurrent variable‐interval schedule: reinforcement followed runs of either 1 or 2 ...

Consumers in a Sustainable Food Supply Chain (COSUS): Understanding Consumer Behavior to Encourage Food Waste Reduction

open access: yesFoods, 2017
Consumers are directly and indirectly responsible for a significant fraction of food waste which, for a large part, could be avoided if they were willing to accept food that is suboptimal, i.e., food that deviates in sensory characteristics (odd shape ...

Suboptimal choice behavior by pigeons [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2010
Contrary to the law of effect and optimal foraging theory, pigeons show suboptimal choice behavior by choosing an alternative that provides 20% reinforcement over another that provides 50% reinforcement. They choose the 20% reinforcement alternative--in which 20% of the time, that choice results in a stimulus that always predicts reinforcement, and 80%
