Decisions about noisy stimuli require evidence integration over time. Traditionally, evidence integration and decision making are described as a one-stage process: a decision is made when evidence for the presence of a stimulus crosses a threshold. Here, w ...
The effects of practice schedule on learning a complex judgment task were investigated. In Experiment 1, participants' judgment accuracy on a retention test was higher after a random practice schedule than after a blocked schedule or operational schedule. ...
The recent development of a novel research burner at EPFL has opened the way for experimental investigations of essentially unstretched planar diffusion flames. In particular, it has become feasible to experimentally validate theoretical models for thermal ...
We propose a new formulation of the index coding problem, where instead of demanding a specific message, clients are “pliable” and are happy to receive any one message they do not have. We prove that with this relaxation, although some instances of this pr ...
This paper extends hierarchical task network (HTN) planning with lightweight learning, considering that in robotics, actions have a non-zero probability of failing. Our work applies to A*-based HTN planners with lifting. We prove that the planner finds the ...
Decision making is of crucial interest in many disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience, economics and machine learning. Binary perceptual decision theories relate to situations where an observer (or machine) is confronted with one of two possible nois ...
Disappointment, the emotion experienced when faced to reward prediction errors (RPEs), considerably impacts decision making (DM). Individuals tend to modify their behavior in an often unpredictable way just to avoid experiencing negative emotions. Despite ...
Many instructional strategies that appear to improve learners' performance during training may not realize adequate posttest performance or transfer to a job. The converse has been found to be true as well: Instructional strategies that appear to slow the ...
In the study of nonconscious processing, different methods have been used in order to render stimuli invisible. While their properties are well described, the level at which they disrupt nonconscious processing remains unclear. Yet, such accurate estimatio ...
