We tend to choose the action that is least demanding however measuring individual differences in the cost of cognitive effort can be elusive. We here report a set of five studies studying the relationship between four cognitive effort measures: the demand selection task, the cognitive effort discounting paradigm, a rationality battery to assess deliberate reasoning, and the Need for Cognition scale. ...

The Dom Feliciano Belt in southern Brazil and Uruguay represents the western half of a Neoproterozoic orogenic belt located in the southern portion of the South Atlantic Neoproterozoic Orogenic System. Current interpretations are divided as to the nature of orogenesis in this belt, in part owing to lacking geochronological constraints. Metamorphosed and deformed supracrustal sequences of the Brusque ...

El objetivo de este trabajo es arrojar algo de luz sobre sus propiedades sintácticas y semánticas, con atención especial a las construcciones con y medio, que presentan ...

This study presents pseudo-proxy experiments to quantify the reconstruction skill of two climate field reconstruction methodologies for a marine proxy network subject to age uncertainties. The BARCAST methodology (Bayesian Algorithm for Reconstructing Climate Anomalies in Space and Time) is tested for sea surface temperature (SST) reconstruction for the first time over the northern North Atlantic ...
