Social life, evolution of intelligence, behaviour and human brain size
Social life is one of the most critical factors of the evolution of the behavior of non-human primates and humans. Several factors, such as an increase in brain size, adaptive modules, and grooming, are related to the complexities of social groups. Although some scientists have mentioned foraging as a rival hypothesis for the evolution of behavior, in this research, we tried to investigate the ...
متن کاملHuman eating behaviour in an evolutionary ecological context.
Present-day human eating behaviour in industrialised society is characterised by the consumption of high-energy-density diets and often unstructured feeding patterns, largely uncoupled from seasonal cycles of food availability. Broadly similar patterns of feeding are found among advantaged groups in economically-emerging and developing nations. Such patterns of feeding are consistent with the e...
متن کاملReward redemption behaviour in retail loyalty schemes
In most retailer loyalty schemes, cardholders obtain ‘points’ based on their purchases. These points may be redeemed for rewards. This paper uses individual cardholder transaction records from a leading UK retailer and a related qualitative study to investigate this redemption behaviour. It provides a description and taxonomy of reward redemption behaviour, including non-redemption. Amongst tho...
متن کاملNominal Context-Free Behaviour
This thesis investigates and proposes models for programming and verifying adaptive software at different abstraction levels. First, we design the kernel of a programming language, endowed with primitives for programming the adaptation to different working environments. We provide the language with a type and effect system that allows us to statically prove properties of the behaviour of the pr...
متن کاملMonoamines, Acetylcholine and Contingency of Reward Delivery in Instrumental Behaviour
Introduction There is much empirical support for the notion that acetylcholine (ACh) and the monoamine neurotransmitters noradrenaline (NA), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) modulate cognitive processes (including attention, learning and memory, executive control and decision-making) in specific and distinct ways. The application of in-vivo brain microdialysis in closely controlled behavioura...
