This indicates no stimulus control over behaviour by the dark grey square in these groups.
The same manipulation had no effect after extended, or over-, training, suggesting the neural locus of control over behaviour shifts with experience (Murray et al., 2012a).
Thus, drug seeking habits and the underlying intrastriatal shifts in the control over behaviour alone should not be equated with addiction.
Patients with 'mild' anorexia nervosa were generally seen as having significantly more control over behaviour and decision-making ability than those with 'severe' anorexia nervosa.
Overall there is greater control over behaviour and people may find they can stop and think more easily, rather than acting in a more impulsive and unthinking way.
The theory of planned behaviour evolved from the consistent finding that attitudes were poor predictors of behaviour in many circumstances [ 3] and proposes that people act in accordance with their intentions and perceptions of control over behaviour.
The finding that PBC was not a significant predictor of parents' behaviour is consistent with Ajzen's [ 19] proposal that PBC becomes less useful in predicting behaviour as volitional control over behaviour increases.
Volitional efficiency refers to the actual control over behaviour; consequently, a measure of volitional competencies is hypothesized to increase the explained variance of behaviour over the amount of variance due to the strength of beliefs.
Indeed, Le Bon proposed that the non-conscious contagion of emotions amongst individuals resulted in both an automatic re-alignment of individuals' behaviour and a consequent loss of control over behaviour (von Scheve & Salmela, 2014).
Finally, perceived behavioural control (PBC) refers to a person's perception of whether or not they have control over behaviour, even in circumstances that would make performance of the behavior difficult.
The five-choice serial reaction time task (5-CSRTT) assesses attentional control over behaviour and the capacity to suppress a pre-potent response until the onset of a visual target stimulus (Robbins, 2002).
