Those children who waited for Mischel's return had demonstrated an ability to control their impulses, to delay gratification.
The Multidimensional Impulsive-Compulsive Spectrum allowedent Instrusentoallowed us to find 6 statistically significant differences between groups: the ability or inability to delay an impulse, quick response or action planning, feelings of pleasure or guilt during or after an act, ritualization, and whether the patient believes he/she has losses or benefits if prevented from acting.
The cognitive concepts that we typically associate with "willpower" — motivation, resolve and an ability to delay gratification, resist impulses and consider and choose among alternatives — arise from distinct neural pathways in the brain.
More general conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the impulse-free solution to delayed SSMJSs are presented.
"Deeply frustrated," Heywood replied, resisting his natural impulse to point out that delaying inconvenient reports was a sign of a job well done.
Basing on the Lyapunov functional method and establishing a new impulsive delay differential inequality, we derive some sufficient conditions which depend on delay and impulses to guarantee the exponential synchronization of the coupling delay switching complex dynamical network.
Since the sound of, say, a singer at the west wall performance stage is delayed in reaching audience members near the east wall, computers can reduce echoes by delaying the transmission of sound impulses to the rearward speakers; different delays can be assigned to 16 distinct zones.
To the authors' knowledge, there is no paper about periodic solution of impulses delay differential systems via critical point theory.
Such a model has to be able to reproduce the following features observable in the dataset: impulse responses get delayed and broadened in a way which is roughly proportional to HL; profile changes get progressively less steep with HL; the system "discharges" completely (i.e. the mRNA concentrations return to a basal level) in absence of further pulses.
For many events, besides the main impulse produced by the lightning discharge, a secondary impulse delayed about 1 sec was observed.
