Abstract:

The marriage of perspectives from behavioral economic theory and learning theory has the potential to advance an understanding of substance use and substance use disorder. Behavioral economic demand is a central concept to this interdisciplinary approach. Evaluating demand in the laboratory and clinic can improve previous research on the relative reinforcing effects of drugs by accounting for the multi-dimensional nature of reinforcement rather than viewing reinforcement as a unitary construct. Recent advances in the commodity purchase task methodology have further simplified the measurement o

Abstract:

Citizen science projects are those which recruit volunteers to participate as assistants in scientific studies. These projects are a longstanding tradition of volunteers recruitment which predates the Internet. The advent of the Web enabled the citizen science projects to expand into new domains and gain popularity. Web-based citizen science is established on technological and motivational pillars. Understanding the motivational aspect for volunteers is crucial to plan, design and manage citizen science projects. Some researchers have studied volunteers motivation to work as assistants by cond

Abstract:

This doctoral dissertation is inspired by the need to explore the human dimension of the clean energy transition for climate change mitigation and adaptation, through the application of behavioural science and economics principles. The first chapter systematically reviews behavioural intervention studies that targeted encouraging of energy conservation and adoption of energy efficiency measures. A total of 56 studies, primarily from the fields of behavioural and social sciences, were evaluated for the effectiveness of behavioural interventions to produce long-term changes to energy consuming b

Abstract:

Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Science is an evolving field of models and methods aimed at closing the research-practice gap. This chapter provides an overview of D&I Science with particular emphasis on its relevance for academic and clinical medical family therapists (MedFTs) and/or graduate students in training. It begins with a discussion of the poor reach of evidence-based treatments, building a case for the evolution of D&I Science. Basic definitions of dissemination research and implementation research are provided, followed by a description of the characteristics of D&I Science.

Abstract:

<p> Cognitive science has been beset for thirty years by foundational disputes about the nature and extension of cognition—e.g. whether cognition is necessarily representational, whether cognitive processes extend outside the brain or body, and whether plants or microbes have them. Whereas previous philosophical work aimed to settle these disputes, I aim to understand what conception of cognition scientists could share given that they disagree so fundamentally. To this end, I develop a number of variations on traditional conceptual explication, and defend a novel explication of cognition

Despite the massive scale at which our lives intersect, we often fail to recognize the psychological aspects of bird confinement.
