Behavioral mechanism design

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2023
Abstract The authors make a convincing case that behavioral scientists have mistakenly focused on improving individual decision making and in so doing have deflected attention from necessary changes in the rules of the game – societal institutions and policies – that shape individual decisions.

Mechanical Behavior of the Sclera

Ophthalmologica, 2010
Induced deformations, similar to the posterior pole deformations due to advanced myopia, were studied in a series of 30 rabbits. The induced deformations were produced by means of a specially designed cup. An analysis of the applicability of the shell theory is made, and it is concluded that the thin shell theory is applicable to the mechanical study ...

Corticostriatal mechanisms of behavior

Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology, 1997
This article presents the results of three series of experiments on cats, dogs, and lower primates, performed to investigate the structural, neurophysiological, and mediator mechanisms of the corticostriatal systems involved in the organization of behavior.

A representation language for mechanical behavior

Artificial Intelligence in Engineering, 1993
Abstract Automating mechanism design requires developing a representation language for describing mechanism behavior. The language is necessary to specify design requirements, to describe existing mechanisms, and to catalog them for design reuse.

On the Theory of Behavioral Mechanics

Psychological Reports, 1999
The Theory of Behavioral Mechanics is the behavioral analogue of Newton's laws of motion, with the rate of responding in operant conditioning corresponding to physical velocity. In an earlier work, the basic relation between rate of responding and sessions under two FI schedules and over a range of commonly used session values had been shown to be a ...

Neural mechanisms of behavior

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1993
Work during the past year has revealed increasing diversity and complexity of sensory inputs that trigger behavior, and correspondingly wide-ranging adaptations of sensory receptors and receptor organs. Many of these have been discovered by taking careful account of the animal in its natural habitat.

Mechanisms of behavioral switching

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2004
No animal performs only one behavior, so nervous systems must have ways to switch between different behaviors. In this issue of Journal of Comparative Physiology A, several papers discuss how nervous systems achieve this ordered switching between behaviors, from short-term motor control problems, to medium-term decision making based on past experience,

Mechanical Behavior

2008
Abstract The mechanical behavior of a material is its response to an applied load or force. Important mechanical properties are strength, hardness, stiffness, and ductility. This chapter discusses three principal ways in which these properties are tested: tension, compression, and shear.
