Optimization theory fails to predict performance of pigeons in a two-response situation.
نویسنده
چکیده
Optimization theory states that organisms behave in a way that maximizes reinforcement or "value." In a two-response situation, pigeons' response proportions approximately equaled reinforcement proportions, even when this behavior pattern substantially decreased the rate of reinforcement. Optimization or reinforcement maximization was not supported as the basic mechanism underlying choice behavior.

SEISMIC OPTIMIZATION OF STEEL MOMENT RESISTING FRAMES CONSIDERING SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION
The main purpose of the present work is to investigate the impact of soil-structure interaction on performance-based design optimization of steel moment resisting frame (MRF) structures. To this end, the seismic performance of optimally designed MRFs with rigid supports is compared with that of the optimal designs with a flexible base in the context of performance-based design. Two efficient me...
متن کاملMulti Responses Optimization Through Game Theory Approach
In this paper, a new approach based on game theory has been proposed to multi responses problem optimization. Game theory is a useful tool for decision making in the conflict of interests between intelligent players in order to select the best joint strategy for them through selecting the best joint desirability. Present research uses the game theory approach via definition of each response as ...

In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to improve the design of constrained PID controller based on convex-concave optimization. This design method is based on the optimization of a performance cost function, taking into account the stability and efficiency constraints with frequency domain analysis in which the concepts of sensitivity and complementary sensitivity has been used. It is shown, ...
