Antecedentes/Objetivo: A pesar de que los cigarrillos electrónicos se han usado cada vez más como alternativa al consumo de tabaco, pocos estudios han explorado los factores psicológicos asociados a su uso. Estudios previos que analizan los correlatos del cigarrillo electrónico se han centrado...
By addressing both the depth of the method used and concerns about the generalizability of behavioural research29, the richer perspective of our approach to measuring intertemporal decision-making in a global sample allows us to assess the presence and prevalence of anomalies in local contexts. It a...
A higher sense of agency increases the possibility to influence one's own work, which in turn may lead to a higher sense of involvement, an important factor of job satisfaction3,51. In relation to this, risk-takers seem to be more likely to be in positions where they have greater ...
The key is that just by encoding the look-up table in its state machine, Nǫ can find the fac- tors of the number output by S in time O(1/ǫ), and since δ = o(ǫ), this means that the discount factor is 1 in the limit. The rest of the argument is the same as in...
We further refer to the factor in front of r2 which captures the devaluation strength as the discount factor. While the majority of studies infer κ by fitting a sigmoid function to the behavioral performance under this model via least squares [see e.g., (31, 38, 43, 62,...
For functional imaging, gradient-echo echo-planar images (EPI) were acquired at TR = 2500 ms (TE = 30 ms; number of slices = 37; slice thickness = 3 mm; distance factor = 10%; FoV = 192 mm × 192 mm; matrix size = 64 × 64; flip angle = 90°). Slices (voxel size = 2 ...
Apart from their different nature, a distorting factor was that the reference point was occurring in the future for the timing prospects, but not for the outcome prospects. Even though this comparison was not the primary aim of our study, it would be interesting to compare the parameters of ...
The MANCOVA was used for the hypothetical discounting task, with the AUC measures for each reward magnitude used as the dependent variables and diagnosis (ADHC-CT vs control) as the between-subjects factor. Given the high correlations (Pearson's r from 0.80 to 0.94) in the discounting rates...
discounting can be set up with two or more different curves or formulas for a particular sale. For example, once a customer or group of customers reaches a certain threshold of price, order in line, or point on the curve, the curve changes to a different shape or z-factor. The dynamic...
6. The method of claim 1 further comprising: determining a billable service related to a pricing of the first production service; and determining a price table related to the transaction, the price table containing a price for the billable service. 7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:...
