According to Quine, speakers' behavioral dispositions constrain what can be plausibly said about how to best regiment their language.
Methods for quantifying behavior in a biological context are introduced (measuring motoric behaviors directly versus studying behaviors that must be indirectly assessed via inferential linkages; assessing behaviors within individuals as versus within groups of individuals), and the ways that behavioral quantification methods constrain biological studies are indicated.
DRD4 VNTR genotype frequencies vary widely across the globe, reflecting the adaptive utility of both motivations for dispersal [23] and in some cases culturally constrained behavioral phenotypes [26].
Throughout the lifespan, neurons and synapses that are not used are "pruned," limiting behavioral plasticity and constraining what can be learned in the future [ 47].
When we modeled children and adults as separate populations (with separate time series for Δ t in the behavioral model), but constrained transmission parameters to be the same for both populations, estimates were not significantly changed.
The adverse effects of parasites on hosts, such as reduced activity (Main and Bull 2000; Fenner and Bull 2008), home range size (Main and Bull 2000), or reproductive success (Arnold and Lichtenstein 1993; Møller 1993), should select for individual behavioral strategies that constrain social group size or reduce direct contact within groups.
The tetanocerine feeding behavior and habitat transitions based on the Mesquite optimizations in Figures 2 and 3 are better visualized in Figure 4. To test hypotheses of multiple independent feeding behavior and habitat transitions, ML analyses were performed in which the monophyly of each polyphyletic Tetanocera behavioral group was constrained (Table 2).
Here, discrete event system and reinforcement learning techniques are employed to constrain the behavioral alternatives and to synthesize behavior on-line.
Linked behaviors form behavioral syndromes, in which the non-independence of traits constrains the evolutionary trajectories that are available for particular behaviors (Dochtermann and Dingemanse 2013).
"Microsoft has demonstrated time and again that through their sheer power and immense wealth, they can easily evade behavioral remedies designed to constrain their unlawful activity," said Edward J. Black, president of the Computer and Communications Industry Association, which backs Microsoft's corporate adversaries.
