The phrase "adjust behavioral" is not correct as it is missing a noun to complete the expression, such as "adjust behavioral patterns" or "adjust behavioral responses." You can use it in contexts where you are discussing modifications to behavior, typically in psychology or behavioral science.
Example: "To improve the effectiveness of the therapy, we need to adjust behavioral patterns in the patients."
Alternatives: "modify behavior" or "alter behavioral habits."
Care must be taken, however, when adjusting behavioral paradigms to fit with recording methods because even small changes in a behavioral design (e.g., adding an intertrial interval or signaling reward) can fundamentally change the balance of psychological constructs underlying the behavior.
The agents have the ability to respond to the changing environment and other agents' movement in real time and adjust their behavioral parameters.
To adjust for behavioral confounding, while accounting for limited HIV infections, we used an inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) Cox proportional hazards (PH) model for incident HIV.
To adjust for behavioral confounding of the rectal STI-HIV association, while accounting for a limited number of incident HIV infections, we used an inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) Cox proportional hazards (PH) model for incident HIV, where the weights were derived from propensity score modeling of STI incidence (i.e. a marginal structural model) [ 19].
We further adjusted each behavioral outcome model for the baseline value of the behavior of interest.
ANCOVA and logistic regression analyses were also performed after adjusting for behavioral performance on the fMRI task using novel correct and familiar correct measures.
There was some evidence that social norms may have played a role in the increased risk of mortality since the risk estimates for deprivation were further attenuated after adjusting for behavioral risk factors that may reflect the social norms of more deprived areas (e.g., smoking, high BMI) [36], [37].
In contrast, associations between many other factors and SUD were non-significant when adjusted for behavioral and affective factors.
Adjusting for behavioral and emotional difficulties attenuated most associations somewhat, but the associations between psychotic experiences and processing speed at age 8 and attention at age 11 remained.
By adjusting for behavioral and emotional difficulties over and above background factors, we may have been overly conservative if these are on the causal pathway between cognitive ability and psychotic experiences.
