Melioration Despite More Information
Situations that present individuals with a conflict between local and global gains often result in a behavioral pattern known as melioration — a preference for immediate rewards over higher long-term gains. Using a variant of a paradigm by Tunney & Shanks (2002), we explored the potential role of feedback as a means to reduce this bias. We hypothesized that frequent and informative feedback abo...
متن کاملExperimentation with Self-configuring Systems
The Internet of Things (IoT) has received increased interest over the last years. Objects of the real world (e.g., cars, traffic lights, buildings, mobile phones, etc.) become connected to the Internet. It is expected that self-configuration becomes an increasingly important subject with the IoT. Self-configuring systems (SCS) adapt their behavior to changes in the environment by dynamically ch...
متن کاملA case of self-experimentation.
In this issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, Cheng et a!. (1) report that two of the investigators in their study (M. Root and Z. Cheng) each ingested 1.0 g of AFB1,2 a group 1 hepatocarcinogen (2). The purpose of their experiment was to monitor the urinary excretion, over a 10-day period, of a metabolite of AFB1, AFM1 . This is the first reported instance in which humans were...
متن کاملFifty Years of Self-Assembly Experimentation
In this paper, we review half a century of research on the design of systems displaying (physical) self-assembly of macroscopic components. We report on the experience gained in the study of 22 such systems, exhibiting components ranging from passive mechanical parts to mobile robots. We discuss the systems with regard to physical and electrical design characteristics, outcome and analysis of s...
متن کاملThe unreasonable effectiveness of my self-experimentation.
Over 12 years, my self-experimentation found new and useful ways to improve sleep, mood, health, and weight. Why did it work so well? First, my position was unusual. I had the subject-matter knowledge of an insider, the freedom of an outsider, and the motivation of a person with the problem. I did not need to publish regularly. I did not want to display status via my research. Second, I used a ...
