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.

Incentives are more likely to elicit desired outcomes when they are based on accurate models of agent behavior. A growing literature---from behavioral economics, as well as online user studies---suggests, however, that people do not quite behave like standard economic agents in a variety of environments, both online and offline. What consequences might

Mechanical System Showing “Catastrophic Behavior”
Mechanics of Solids, 2023The behavior of a mechanical system when the parameters characterizing it change is investigated. The analysis shows that stepwise changes (catastrophes) occur in the system in a certain area of control parameters. The considered problem admits an exact (global) analysis of the catastrophe, without involving various expansions and assumptions.

Corticostriatal mechanisms of behavior
Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology, 1997This 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.

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.

Mechanisms of behavioral switching
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2004No 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,

AbstractThis paper studies the mechanism design problem for the class of Bayesian environments where agents do care for the well‐being of others. For these environments, we fully characterize interim efficient (IE) mechanisms and examine their properties.

Abstract This chapter discusses the stress-strain response of materials, how it is measured, and how it used to set performance expectations. It begins by describing the common tensile test and how it sheds light on the elastic design of structures as well as plasticity and fracture behaviors.

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.
