Directed motivational currents (DMCs) is a novel construct investigated by motivation researchers. Earlier studies on DMCs have focused explaining its unique nature while the individual difference (ID) factors impacting upon power and long-term sustainment has been under-researched. The aim of this research study was to reveal structural interactions among DMC dispositions, self-regulated strat...

Delay discounting describes the subjective devaluation of a reward when it is delayed. In animals, the adjusting-delay (AD) and increasing-delay (ID) tasks often are used to assess individual differences in, and drug effects on, delay discounting. No study to date, however, has compared systematically the measures of discounting produced in these tasks. The current study examined the correlatio...

Given appropriate training, human observers typically demonstrate clear improvements in performance on perceptual tasks. However, the benefits of training frequently fail to generalize other tasks, even those that appear similar trained task. A great deal research has focused task characteristics influence extent which learning generalizes. less is known about what might predict considerable in...

OBJECTIVE Although many studies document an association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and intellectual disability (ID), little is known about the etiology of this comorbidity and how it should be addressed in clinical settings. We sought to clarify this issue. METHOD All individuals born in Sweden between 1987 and 2006 (n = 2,049,587) were identified using the Medica...

This paper introduces an approach that integrates intrusion detection (ID) techniques with software wrapping technology to enhance a system's ability to defend against intrusions. In particular, we employ the NAI Labs Generic Software Wrapper Toolkit to implement all or part of an intrusion detection system as ID wrappers. An ID wrapper is a software layer dynamically inserted into the kernel t...
