Abstract

The study uses the Posner paradigm to determine whether the condition of the cue can affect the reaction time of the subject. Most importantly is that the eye movement was prohibited. Using the data of 143 subjects, the ANOVA method and Bonferroni corrections, we have found out that the condition does influence the reaction time, however the difference between the cues is not significant Nonetheless the reaction time was far off from the target 100 ms due to inexperience and not understanding of the task set before the subjects. The results of the study have shown us two processes ...

INTRODUCTION

The United States and the then Soviet Socialist Republic, or USSR, had always had ideological differences underlining their relations.

Sensors detect an input event and control an output event. The output often requires different timing than that of the input event. Sometimes several inputs must jointly produce an output event. In other words, logic alters the raw sensor signal so that it is directly useful for controlling local action in response to sensed events (Ouzounov et al., 2006). A sensor is an interactive application; it expresses interest in an event by defining a sensitive ‘region' and an event type. For example, if a sensor wishes to receive events directed to a geographical object, it can define its region ...

Q1 The independent variable was the color information while the dependent variable was attention attraction. Both variables are of nominal level, i.e. the variation of color information or attraction of attention does not vary upon the change of the color or the person to whom they attract attention. Q2 The research was subjective, especially in treating RTs (reaction times) above 1500 ms as misses and 300 ms as anticipatory. There is no proper control or a basis upon which the researcher sets this criterion of exclusion. Besides, there is no background check of the participant to analyze if they ...

Every game theory model includes players, strategies and payoffs. The players are the decision makers whose behavior we are trying to explain and predict. Strategies are the potential choices to change prices. The pay- off is the outcome or consequence of each strategy. A zero sum game is the one in which the gain of one player comes at the expense and is exactly equal to the loss of the other player. The Nash equilibrium is a situation in which each player chooses an optimal strategy given the strategy chosen by the other player. In this game where there ...
