Concepts of motivation are vital to progress in behavioral neuroscience. Motivational concepts help us to understand what limbic brain systems are chiefly evolved to do, i.e., to mediate psychological processes that guide real behavior. This article evaluates some major motivation concepts that have historic importance or have influenced the interpretation of behavioral neuroscience research. T...

We present a technique for devising a progress indicator of static analyzers. Progress indicator is a useful user interface that shows how close a static analysis has progressed so far to its completion. Because static analysis’ progress depends on the semantic complexity, not on the code size, of the target software, devising an accurate progressindicator is not obvious. Our technique first co...

The following review provides a synthesised summary of self-regulated learning in relation to metacognition, motivation and behaviour. It provides evidence regarding the need for, and benefits of, self-regulated learning. The implications for teachers are also specified in the review. These include the importance of acknowledging the social nature of self-regulated learning and supporting learn...

The authors explore the interplay between consumers’ progress levels toward attaining a goal and the perceived velocity in progressing toward the goal to determine consumers’ motivation for further goal pursuit. The authors propose that when progress toward attaining a goal is low, consumers are primarily concerned about the question “Can I get there?” Thus, a high (vs. low) perceived velocity ...

Despite the large quantity of research projects about online learning, studies on students’ language learning motivation, self-efficacy belief, and metacognitive strategy use in setting are limited. The present paper aims to fill this gap through assessing learners’ strategies, their perceived progress English learning. Responses surveys were administered two times. collected data subject longi...

This article draws upon qualitative research gathered in 2015 with mid-career UK codify reasons or motivations pursu...

In this position paper we briefly review the development history of automated inductive theorem proving and computer-assisted mathematical induction. We think that the current low expectations on progress in this field result from a faulty narrow-scope historical projection. Our main motivation is to explain—on an abstract but hopefully sufficiently descriptive level—why we believe that future ...
