Leontyev, Anton (2022-07-25)The standard definition of impulsivity implies that impulsive individuals demonstrate abnormal reward processing (i.e., impulsive choice, IC) and a penchant for immediate and maladaptive action (i.e., impulsive action, ...
-
Chung, Ji Ryang (2012-07-16)In the neuronal circuits of natural and artificial agents, memory is usually implemented with recurrent connections, since recurrence allows past agent state to affect the present, on-going behavior. Here, an interesting ...
-
Kohn, Nicholas William (2009-05-15)In this dissertation, two areas of creativity are reviewed. “Fixation” refers to the inability to solve a problem or retrieve a memory due to prior experience or an inappropriate solution path. Brainstorming is the process ...
-
Kohn, Nicholas William (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Several hypotheses have been offered to explain the mechanisms involved in incubation, the phenomenon in which resolution of a problem benefits more from interruption than continuous solution attempts. The predictions of ...
-
Lim, Hee Jin (2009-06-02)Neural conduction delay is a serious issue for organisms that need to act in real time. Perceptual phenomena such as the flash-lag effect (FLE, where the position of a moving object is perceived to be ahead of a brief flash ...
-
Akkapeddi, Raghu C. (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)History mechanisms available in hypertext systems allow users access to past interactions with the system and help users incorporate those interactions into the current context. The history information can be useful to ...
-
Xiao, Kunchen (2016-05-25)This dissertation investigates how cognitive control influences subliminal semantic processing. Unlike the traditional view that unconscious processing is stereotypical and independent of cognitive control, recent evidence ...
