Anomalies in intertemporal choice (e.g. hyperbolic discounting, subadditive discounting, a sign effect, a magnitude effect, and a delay-speedup asymmetry) have been investigated in neuroeconomics and behavioral neuroeconomics. In this study we propose a “tempospect” theory of intertemporal choice which can account for these anomalies in intertemporal choice. The key features of the present theo...

Levidow, Les and Upham, Paul (2017). Linking the multi-level perspective with social representations theory: Gasifiers as a niche innovation reinforcing the energy-from-waste (EfW) regime. The multi-level perspective (MLP) theorises technological change as a process of niche innovations competing with incumbent socio-technical regimes. As a mid-range theoretical framework, the MLP invites compl...

Let X = ΣY be a suspension. A question in homotopy theory is how to decompose the n-fold self smash product X into a wedge of spaces. Consider the set of homotopy classes [X, X]. Let the symmetric group Sn act on X by permuting positions. So for each σ ∈ Sn there is a map σ : X → X. This gives a function θ : Sn → [X, X]. By assuming that X is a suspension, [X, X] is an abelian group and so ther...

the clothing of women depicted by artists under timurid and safavid dynasties is well represented in the surviving illustrations of shahnameh baisonghor and shahnameh of shah tahmasp. a descriptive-analytical survey of the related historical documents and a comparison of the illustrations of these two shahnameh books will contribute to answering the following questions: from which aspects do th...

We describe Social Baseline Theory (SBT), a perspective that integrates the study of social relationships with principles of attachment, behavioral ecology, cognitive neuroscience, and perception science. SBT suggests the human brain expects access to social relationships that mitigate risk and diminish the level of effort needed to meet a variety of goals. This is accomplished in part by incor...

The social or joint Simon effect has been developed to investigate how and to what extent people mentally represent their own and other persons' action/task and how these cognitive representations influence an individual's own behavior when interacting with another person. Here, we provide a review of the available evidence and theoretical frameworks. Based on this review, we suggest a comprehe...
