The current study examined, for the first time, the effect of cue-intention association, as well as the effects of promised extrinsic rewards, on prospective memory in young children, aged 5-years-old (n = 39) and 7-years-old (n = 40). Children were asked to name pictures for a toy mole, whilst also having to remember to respond differently to certain target pictures (prospective memory task). ...

In this study we examined the interrelationship among extrinsic rewards and achievement goals (including a work-avoidance goal), competence beliefs, and task values associated with health-enhancing running tasks over a school year. A group of elementary school students (n = 119) from a program that promoted running for running’s sake and another (n = 88) from a program that promoted running thr...

The future is uncertain because some forthcoming events are unpredictable and also because our ability to foresee the myriad consequences of our own actions is limited. Here we studied how humans select actions under such extrinsic and intrinsic uncertainty, in view of an exponentially expanding number of prospects on a branching multivalued visual stimulus. A triangular grid of disks of differ...

Abstract We find irregular patterns in the distribution of firms’ reported quarterly gross margin percentages. Specifically, there is significant bunching around percentage integers that are highly round (e.g., multiples 10, such as 30%, 40%, etc.) or neatly divisible 25%, 75%), compared to what predicted by counterfactual distributions. Further investigation reveals firms smaller, exert higher...

At present, practice of clinical medicine is predominately dependent on proper application of "evidence-based medicine", which is in turn largely dependent on proficient acquisition of research skills.1 In fact, in the 21st century, research proficiency continues to be regarded as an indispensable skill for all forthcoming medical graduates.2 Moreover, graduating clinically-qualified and resear...

Age differences in intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and the relationships of each to academic outcomes were examined in an ethnically-diverse sample of 797 thirdthrough eighth-grade children. Using independent measures, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were found to be only moderately correlated, suggesting that they may be largely orthogonal dimensions of motivation in school. Consistent w...
