While a number of studies have assessed the role of personality traits, situational variables, and drug use on sexual risk behaviors, fewer studies have employed experimental methods to examine cognitive processes that may underlie risky sexual decision making. This study used a go/no-go paradigm to examine how individual difference variables and sexual arousal influence discrimination learning...

At a previous International Conference on Cognitive Modeling (ICCM) a simple model of intuitive decisionmaking was presented. The task was to learn and then recognize strings that had a hidden structure. The model did well a matching of human performance on hits, misses, correct rejections, and false alarms. A deeper look reveals not just more details about the context and challenge of the memo...

Participants performed a tracking task along with a system and flight parameter monitoring task while aided by diagnostic automation. The goal of the study was to examine operator compliance and reliance as affected by automation failures, and to clarify claims regarding independence of these two constructs. Background data revealed a trend towards non-independence of the compliance-reliance co...

this study was performed with objective land cover change prediction (forest, agriculture, residential and orchard) using logistic regression and markov chain in the gis environment in east of mazandaran province. land cover change detected using satellite imageries belonging to the years 1987 and 2001. transition potential modeling was conducted using a logistic regression. seven variables (de...

We explore the potential of using keyword-aware language modeling to extend the ability of trading higher false alarm rates in exchange for lower miss detection rates in LVCSRbased keyword search (KWS). A context-dependent keyword language modeling method is also proposed to further enhance the keyword-aware language modeling framework by reducing the number of false alarms often sacrificed in ...

OBJECTIVE Participants performed a tracking task and system monitoring task while aided by diagnostic automation. The goal of the study was to examine operator compliance and reliance as affected by automation failures and to clarify claims regarding independence of these two constructs. BACKGROUND Background data revealed a trend toward nonindependence of the compliance-reliance constructs. ...

M. B. Miller and G. L. Wolford (1999) make two contributions. First, they add conditions to the basic Roediger-McDermott (1995) procedure and find that critical items are recalled and recognized more often if they are presented in the list than if they are not presented. These results agree with our own, which are briefly reviewed. Second, they apply signal detection theory to the paradigm and ...

We present our experience of combining, in a realistic setting, a static analyzer with a statistical analysis. This combination is in order to reduce the inevitable false alarms from a domain-unaware static analyzer. Our analyzer named Airac(Array Index Range Analyzer for C) collects all the true buffer-overrun points in ANSI C programs. The soundness is maintained, and the analysis’ cost-accur...
