Most psychosocial stress studies assess the overall cortisol response without further identifying the temporal dynamics within hormone levels. It has been shown, however, that the amplitude of anticipatory cortisol stress levels has a unique predictive value for psychological health. So far, no "best practice" in how to investigate the anticipatory cortisol stress response has emerged. The goal...

We consider the impact of anticipatory feelings on behavior. We focus on a very simple type of anticipatory feelings: we assume that anticipatory feelings are based on future expected utility. Although this modeling may not reflect the complexity of anticipatory emotions, it has an interesting consequence: We show that when there are diminishing returns in anticipatory feelings and additive sep...

Based on a corpus-driven analysis of two translated versions Hongloumeng (one by David Hawkes and the other Xianyi Yang Gladys Yang) in parallel corpora, this article investigates use lexical bundles an attempt to trace stylistic features differences translations produced respective translators. The corpus is developed at sentence level facilitate co-occurrence source texts corresponding transl...

The notion of expectancy grammar as a key to understanding the nature of psychologically real processes that underlie language use is introduced by Oller (1979). A central issue in this notion is that expectancy generating systems are constructed and modified in the course of language acquisition. Thus, one of the characteristics of language proficiency is that it consists of such an expectancy...

Persistent computing systems are an infrastructure of computing anticipatory systems. The reactability of a persistent computing system, which is how many reactions of the system are active at a certain time, is the most important property to characterize the system. On the other hand, to be anticipatory, the reactability of a computing anticipatory system must be continuous. This paper propose...

knowing of formation of a legal rule is an efficient way to recognizing and assessing of that rule. anticipatory breach doctrine became apparent in common law when the court in hochster versus de la tour case (1980), hold that a party could breach an executor contract prior to the performance date and injured party entitle to sue at once. before it, courts had made a negative answer to this mat...

Repetitive, brief target ramp movements every few seconds lead to anticipatory acceleration before each ramp onset and anticipatory deceleration before ramp offset. We assessed whether identifying novel changes in the pursuit target would alter this pattern of anticipatory pursuit. Without target identification (TI), anticipatory acceleration increased when intervals between ramps were regular,...
