Behavioral cusps: a model for selecting target behaviors.
A cusp, as defined by Rosales-Ruiz and Baer (1997), is ‘‘a behavior change that has consequences for the organism beyond the change itself, some of which may be considered important’’ (p. 537). For example, when a child learns to walk, that child gains access to environmental stimuli and contingencies (interactions with siblings or with the family pet) that would be otherwise unavailable. These...
متن کاملBehavioral cusps: a developmental and pragmatic concept for behavior analysis.
Most concepts of development explain certain behavior changes as products or markers of the invariable succession of emerging periods, stages, refinements, or achievements that define and order much of an individual's life. A different but comparable concept can be derived from the most basic mechanisms of behavior analysis, which are its environmental contingencies, and from its most basic str...
متن کاملA new evaluation model for selecting a qualified manager by using fuzzy Topsis approach
Considering the contemporary business settings, managers’ role is more than essential to the viability and further development of an organization. Managers should possess such skills in order to effectively cope with the competition. Multiple attributes decision making (MADM) is an approach employed to solve problems involving selection from among a finite number of alternatives. The aim of thi...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Selecting Behaviors using Fuzzy Logic
Behavior-based systems, i.e. systems that use behaviors as a way of decomposing the control policy needed for accomplishing a task, are very useful in making robots cope with the dynamics of real-world environments. However, these systems still need to be extended to design robots having multiple and possibly conflicting goals, requiring planning, and getting more out of their behaviors. One wa...
