This paper provides a starting point for psychological research on the sense of commitment within context joint action. We begin by formulating three desiderata: to illuminate motivational factors that lead agents feel and act committed, pick out cognitive processes situational implicit commitments are in place, development an understanding ontogeny. In order satisfy these desiderata, we propose minimal framework, core which is analysis structure situations can elicit commitment. then way...
Abstract Dietary protein is a critical regulator of metabolic health and aging. Low diets are associated with healthy aging in humans, dietary restriction extends the lifespan healthspan mice. In this study, we examined effect (PR) on development progression Alzheimer’s disease (AD) 3xTg mouse model AD. Here, show that PR promotes leanness glycemic control mice, specifically rescuing glucose intolerance females. induces sex-specific alterations circulating brain metabolites, downregulating...
In this celebrated analysis of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Michael J. Colacurcio presents a view the author as America's first significant intellectual historian. shows that Hawthorne's fiction responds to wide range sermons, pamphlets, and religious tracts debates--a variety moral discourses at large in world provincial New England.Informed by comprehensive historical research, Hawthorne was steeped England historiography, particularly sermon literature seventeenth century. But, shows, did not...
Although it is well established that regions of premotor cortex (PMC) are active during action observation, remains controversial whether they play a causal role in understanding. In the experiment reported here, we used off-line continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) to investigate this question. Participants received cTBS over hand and lip areas left PMC, separate sessions, before completing pantomime-recognition task which half trials contained pantomimed actions, mouth actions. The...
Abstract Ground-motion records from aftershocks of the 1994 Northridge earthquake are used to estimate site response in urban Los Angeles area. Over 1300 shear-wave 61 sources and 90 sites a linear inversion for source site-response spectra. The methodology makes no assumptions about shape spectrum. To obtain stable unique inverse, Q model geometrical spreading factor assumed. In addition, at hard-rock is constrained be approximately 1.0 with kappa 0.02. spectra compare favorably results...
Abstract In the current paper, we articulate a theory to explain phenomenology of mental effort. The provides working definition effort, explains in what sense effort is limited resource, and specifies factors that determine whether or not experienced as aversive. core our conjecture output cost-benefit analysis. This analysis employs heuristics weigh anticipated costs for particular activity against benefits. basis spelling out testable predictions structure future research on
AbstractProponents of the so-called "interactive turn in social cognition research" maintain that mainstream research on has been fundamentally flawed by its neglect interaction, and a new paradigm is needed order to redress this shortcoming. We argue proponents interactive ("interactionists") have failed properly substantiate their criticisms existing cognition. Although it sometimes unclear precisely what these theories are supposed target, we sketch two possibilities: interactionists can...
Abstract In this paper, we evaluate the proposal that a central function of commitments within joint action is to reduce various kinds uncertainty, and accounts for prevalence in action. While idea prima facie attractive, argue it faces two serious problems. First, can only uncertainty if they are credible, accounting credibility proves not be straightforward. Second, there many other ways which commonly reduced actions, raises possibility may superfluous. Nevertheless, existence these...
We use a general computational framework for brain function to develop theory of the self. The is that self an inferred model endogenous, deeply hidden causes behavior. on which we base this fundamentally organ prediction error minimization.There are three related parts project. In first part (Sections 2-3), explain how minimization must lead inference network endogenous causes. key concept here in long term approximates hierarchical Bayesian inference, where hierarchy critical understand...
