Abstract:

Caffeine is the most consumed psychoactive substance in the world, and most caffeine consumption in coffee and energy drinks is intended to produce a psychoactive effect. However, caffeine is not a primary reinforcer in preclinical paradigms – non-human species do not reliably take the drug to produce a psychoactive effect. However, caffeine is a ‘reinforcement enhancer’ in preclinical models; the effects of caffeine increase the motivation to obtain other non-drug reinforcers. The overall goal of this project was to determine if these reinforcement enhancing effects of caffeine could promote

Abstract:

Reward cues acquire distinctive incentive properties from their association with motivationally significant outcomes. These incentive properties are manifest in an augmented salience that provides reward cues with the capacity to attract attention, also in contexts where pursuing the reward is not relevant. I will first examine the unresolved debate concerning the learning parameters that define the cue-reward association and eventually modulate attention. Specifically, whether the cue attentional salience is governed by reward expectancy or uncertainty. I will then study another incentive pro

Abstract:

President Barack Obama committed hundreds of millions of dollars to the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF), yet a few fundamental questions remain unanswered--was the federal program effective? Did student test scores improve? Since the late 19th century, teachers have been paid for their classroom services regardless of how well--or poorly--their students performed. Nearly a century later, advocates of education reform continue to champion teacher compensation policies that link salary to student achievement. Researchers have identified two motivation theories that must be present in order to have

Inducement prizes-where cash rewards are given to motivate the attainment of targets--have been long used to encourage scientific research, develop technological innovations, or stimulate individuals, groups, and communities to accomplish diverse goals.

Academic research, however, has barely investigated these prizes in spite of their long history, recent popularity, and notable potential. This research investigates pr

The metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR5, is densely expressed in brain regions involved in incentive learning processes. There is considerable evidence to suggest that following exposure to addictive drugs such as cocaine, adaptations in these brain areas may underlie the development and maintenance of behavioural responses related to addictive processes. The present thesis examines the role of mGluR5 in both incentive learning processes and some behavioural and neurobiological effects of cocaine.

Abstract:

In this work we propose a flexible numerical approach to deal with models of dynamic moral hazard with simultaneous learning about the production function. Because of the complexity of the problem, analytical solutions have so far been limited in scope. The contribution is methodological: through computation, the problem can be studied under few assumptions about functional forms. We depart from a general mechanism, reformulate it as an incentive compatible mechanism, and show how it can be solved by backward induction through a sequence of linear programs. We apply our method to a few cases o

This research has two main objectives. One is to develop incentive mechanisms to enhance the quantity and quality of information shared through peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.

博士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>建築系<br>98<br>The aims of architectural design education consist into encouraging students’ creative thinking, knowledge integrating and self design-values building. In a design studio, students’ design ideas need to communicate or negotiate with other peers, and then individual design knowledge can be formed during the learning. The process accumulating and recombining the dispersed and complementary pieces of knowledge is a kind of collaborative design learning; and its successful key is knowledge-sharing and resource exchange. First of all, we do the literature review to un

Abstract:

Il comportamento umano è fortemente influenzato dalla motivazione che consente il perseguimento degli obiettivi sostenendo un'ispezione efficiente dell'ambiente circostante e consentendo l'esecuzione delle azioni motorie più convenienti per interagire con esso. La motivazione può essere manipolata con successo semplicemente somministrando rinforzi o punizioni in cambio di prestazioni comportamentali. Lo scopo di questa ricerca è stato quello di studiare come l'apprendimento di un modello comportamentale visuo-motorio possa essere influenzato da diversi contesti motivazionali. A questo scopo,

Abstract:

Dopamine (DA) drives incentive learning: learning which is elicited through rewarding stimuli. Irregularities in DA activity are associated with various psychological disorders. Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β), a molecule downstream of DA receptors, has been implicated in mediating dopaminergic behaviour, and unbalanced DA activity is associated with concomitant irregularities in GSK3β signaling. Inhibition of this molecule has been noted to attenuate behavioural sensitization, and decrease psychotomimetic behaviour in animals. Few studies have assessed the role of GSK3β in the conditioned

Abstract:

abstract: The first half of this dissertation introduces a minimum cost incentive mechanism for collecting discrete distributed private data for big-data analysis. The goal of an incentive mechanism is to incentivize informative reports and make sure randomization in the reported data does not exceed a target level. It answers two fundamental questions: what is the minimum payment required to incentivize an individual to submit data with quality level $\epsilon$? and what incentive mechanisms can achieve the minimum payment? A lower bound on the minimum amount of payment required for guar

Abstract:

One of the challenges facing education systems worldwide is the motivation of qualified teachers to teach at rural schools. Teaching at rural schools is a challenge as rural areas are characterised by adverse living and working conditions, making qualified teachers prefer living and working at urban schools where conditions are more comfortable. Namibia implemented the financial incentive to motivate qualified teachers to teach at rural schools and improve learner performance. The implementation of the financial incentive in Namibia has received little research attention in establishing its ef

Operant acquisition, operant expression, and decision-making differentially rely on brain areas that are differentially affected by antipsychotic and other dopaminergic drugs. The purpose of this thesis was to test if the known differential pharmacological and location of action of antipsychotic and other dopaminergic drugs predict the drug effects on operant acquisition, operant expression, and decision-making.

This dissertation studies how pay incentives interact with learning about ability and labor turnover to shape the employment dynamics at a US call center. The first chapter provides an introduction to my work and summarizes my main results. The second chapter offers a descriptive analysis of the work environment, the production process, and the effects of pay incentives. The third chapter introduces learning about ability and turnover in a model of effort choice under moral hazard. This model is then used to evaluate the effects of changing pay incentives at the call center. The effect of ince
