Persuasion Strategies

Persuasion Strategies

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Social Exchange Theory

Social Exchange Theory

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

What is Behavior?

What is Behavior?

Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Cognitive Neuroscience
Systems Neuroscience

Background:

Early research utilized anatomical and lesion studies to map functions in the primate and human cerebral cortex.
The mid-20th century to late-20th century was a "golden age" for systems neuroscience, elucidating mechanisms of sensory and cognitive functions.
Advancements in brain imaging at the end of the 20th century offered more precise functional assessments.

Observation:

Brain imaging techniques provide sophisticated insights into cortical activity but offer limited information on underlying neural mechanisms.
Key limitations of brain imaging include a lack of temporal resolution, correlative data, and non-ecological testing conditions.
Intracortical recordings, such as stereo-electroencephalography (stereo-EEG), offer millisecond temporal resolution and direct stimulation capabilities.

Findings:

Localization of fundamental functions in the cerebral cortex was established through anatomical and lesion studies.
The mechanisms of sensory (especially visual) and cognitive functions were progressively understood during the "golden age" of systems neuroscience.
Current brain imaging methods, while advanced, do not fully capture the dynamic neural mechanisms of brain function.

Implications:

Intracortical recordings may overcome the limitations of brain imaging by providing high temporal resolution and enabling direct neural manipulation.
These advanced recording techniques allow for the study of brain function in freely moving patients, offering more ecologically valid data.
Future research may leverage intracortical recordings to gain a more comprehensive understanding of neural mechanisms underlying complex cognitive processes.
