Choosing Between z and t Distribution01:25

Choosing Between z and t Distribution

3.5K
The z and the Student t distribution estimate the population mean using the sample mean and standard deviation. However, to decide which distribution to use for a calculation, one needs to determine the sample size, the nature of the distribution, and whether the population standard deviation is known. If the population standard deviation is known and the population is normally distributed, or if the sample size is greater than 30, the z distribution is preferred. The Student t distribution is...

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

14.8K
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

39.5K
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?00:54

What is Behavior?

10.2K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Decision Science

Background:

  • Value-based decision-making is a complex cognitive process.
  • The hippocampus is implicated in memory and spatial navigation, but its role in choice assessment is less understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the necessity of the hippocampus in assessing options for value-based choices.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized neuroimaging techniques to observe hippocampal activity during decision-making tasks.
  • Employed lesion studies or pharmacological interventions to assess the impact of hippocampal function on choice evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Hippocampal activity significantly correlated with the thoroughness of option assessment.
  • Impaired hippocampal function led to suboptimal value-based choices.

Conclusions:

  • The hippocampus plays a critical role in evaluating different options prior to making a value-based decision.
  • Understanding the hippocampus's function in choice assessment offers insights into cognitive processes and potential interventions for decision-making deficits.
