Fictitious Inhibitory Differences

Fictitious Inhibitory Differences

The stop-signal paradigm is a popular method for examining response inhibition and impulse control in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and clinical domains because it allows the estimation of the covert latency of the stop process: the stop-signal reaction time (SSRT). In three sets of simulations, we examined to what extent SSRTs that were estimated with the popular mean and integration met...

Fictitious Inhibitory Differences: How Skewness and Slowing Distort the Estimation of Stopping

Fictitious Extra Dimensions

String theory requires additional degrees of freedom to maintain world–sheet reparameterisation invariance at the quantum level. These are often interpreted as extra dimensions, beyond the 4 space-time. I discuss a class of quasi-realistic string models in which all the untwisted geometrical moduli are projected out by GSO projections. In these models the extra dimensions are fictitious, and do...

Generalised weakened fictitious play

A general class of adaptive process in games is developed, which significantly generalises weakened fictitious play (Van der Genugten, 2000) and includes several interesting fictitious-play-like processes as special cases. The general model is rigorously analysed using the best response differential inclusion, and shown to converge in games with the fictitious play property. Furthermore, a new ...

Fictitious Pricing in Retail

Prices in a wide variety of contexts come in three parts: an “original” or “suggested” price, a discount off that price, and the final price. Little empirical evidence is available that speaks to how each pricing component affects purchase behavior, even as theories abound. This paper outlines the main theories of fictitious pricing with their corresponding predictions and examines their releva...
