extinction, extinction burst, extinction-induced aggression, side effects, behavior disorders, self-injurious behaviorFindings from basic and applied research suggest that treatment with operant extinction may produce adverse side effects; two of these commonly noted are an increase in the frequency of ...
participants freely navigated through the contexts while performing a cover task that required exploration of the CTX+ and CTX−. To test whether return of contextual threat memory was associated with avoidance behaviour, the time spent in each context was compared. A group (R-Ext, Ext) ×...
The Upper Palaeolithic transition occurred about 45 kya in Europe and Western Asia, marked by the widespread emergence of modern human behaviour25 (e.g. symbolic artwork, geometric blades, ornamentation). But strong evidence exists for the sporadic appearance of this modern human behaviour much ...
When complex systems are driven to depletion by some external factor, their non-stationary dynamics can present an intermittent behaviour between relative tranquility and burst of activity whose consequences are often catastrophic. To understand and ultimately be able to predict such dynamics, we propose...

Today, humans are the dominant animal species on Earth, and we have both a direct (dramatically changing land surfaces by settlements) [1,2] and indirect influence on the Earth’s climate [3,4,5], consequently changing the physiology, behaviour, and evolution trajectories of all other organism...
