Based on stimulus-response learning accounts, we argue that including situational cues in thought about intended actions is an important aspect of self-regulation success in general and in successfully implementing delayed intentions. Accordingly, in Study 1 (N = 328) we replicate a previous study and show a positive relationship between the self-reported inclusion of situational cues in thoughts ...

Cox regression models were fitted using standardized ...

Human-induced factors such as pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction and climate change, have precipitated a concerning decline in marine biodiversity, challenging the health and sustainability of marine ecosystems.

Hensikten med denne studien var å undersøke om imitasjon i løpet av de første leveårene kan forklares av engasjement. Dette ble undersøkt gjennom å kartlegge barnets blikk mot eksperimentet under demonstrasjonen av en objektrelatert handling, samt ved å kartlegge barnets håndteringer av objektet under eksperimentfasen. Deretter ble frekvens av imitative handlinger kartlagt basert på barnets håndteringer ...

The high latitude ionosphere is highly irregular, which is caused by plasma patches, flow shears and electron precipitation. These causes are not well understood, but it is thought to be three sources to these irregularities: density gradients, arcs/flow channels and electron precipitation. It is speculated that there are two main mechanisms for the formation of these irregularities. These mechanisms ...
