Social presence reinforcement and computer-mediated communication: the effect of the solicitors photography on compliance to a survey request made by e-mail.

Personal information is scarce in computer-mediated communication. So when information about the sender is attached with an e-mail, this could induce a positive feeling toward the sender. An experiment was carried out where a male and a female ...

Generalized imitation within three response classes in typically developing infants.

Effects of modeling and contingent praise on infant imitation of three different responses was analyzed. Generalization to nonreinforced probe models was assessed both within and across response types. Three 12- to 14-month-old infants and their mothers ...

Bidirectional priming in infants.

In associative priming, the direct activation of one concept indirectly activates others that are associated with it, depending on the directionality of the association. We asked whether associative priming in preverbal infants is bidirectional. Infants ...

Analysis of the reinforcing and subjective effects of different doses of nitrous oxide using a free-choice procedure.

The reinforcing and subjective effects of five doses of nitrous oxide (0, 10, 20, 30, 40% N(2)O in O(2)) were studied in 20 non-drug-abusers using a free-choice procedure. During each of five sessions, subjects sampled a dose of N(2)O and 100% O(2) ...

Mecamylamine modifies the pharmacokinetics and reinforcing effects of alcohol.

BACKGROUND: Central nicotinic cholinergic receptors modify alcohol-induced mesolimbic dopamine activation, which seems to be important in the reinforcing properties of alcohol. Consistent with this model, acute administration to rats of the tertiary ...

Measuring infant memory: does the ruler matter?

Although the mobile conjugate reinforcement, deferred imitation, and visual attention paradigms are commonly used to test memory processing by infants, there is often debate about the comparability of memory measured by these three procedures. In a ...

A computational account of altered error processing in older age: dopamine and the error-related negativity.

When participants commit errors or receive feedback signaling that they have made an error, a negative brain potential is elicited. According to Holroyd and Coless (in press) neurocomputational model of error processing, this error-related negativity ...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) behaviour explained by dysfunctioning reinforcement and extinction processes.

Inattentiveness, overactivity and impulsiveness are presently regarded as the main clinical symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Inattention is, however, a characteristic of most psychiatric disorders. It is argued that the ADHD ...
