Personal bests as reference points. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Personal bests act as reference points. Examining 133 million chess games, we find that players exert effort to set new personal best ratings and quit once they have done so. Although specific and difficult goals have been shown to inspire greater motivation than vague pronouncements to “do your best,” doing one’s best can be a specific and difficult ...

Reference Point Heterogeneity [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 It is well-established that, when confronted with a decision to be taken under risk, individuals use reference payoff levels as important inputs. The purpose of this paper is to study which reference points characterize decisions in a setting in which there are several plausible reference levels of payoff.

Fingerprint Reference Point Detection
EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2004 Summary: A robust fingerprint recognition algorithm should tolerate the rotation and translation of the fingerprint image. One popular solution is to consistently detect a unique reference point and compute a unique reference orientation for translational and rotational alignment.

Reference-Dependent Stochastic User Equilibrium with Endogenous Reference Points
European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2013 We consider the application of reference-dependent consumer choice theory to traffic assignment on transportation networks. Route choice is modelled based on random utility maximisation with systematic utility embodying loss aversion for the travel time ...

Fixed points and self-reference
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1984 It is shown how Gödel's famous diagonal argument and a generalization of the recursion theorem are derivable from a common construation. The abstract fixed point theorem of this article is independent of both metamathematics and recursion theory and is ...
