Furthermore, relaxing the restrictive functional form of the drive function and introducing more general forms could explain behavioral patterns that our model does not yet account for, like asymmetric risk-aversion toward gains vs. losses (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979).
One problem of testing our cognitive account against renewal theory is that renewal theory is more general, so that any behavioral predictions by a cognitive account can be mimicked by renewal theory.
A more general description that relates behavioral performance to parameters of the figure and background is typically provided by plotting a psychometric curve in which the behavioral performance is plotted against the stimulus parameter of interest (in this case, the difference in wavelength between the figure and background).
Additionally, we consider the biological plausibility of models in stepping away from exemplar input patterns towards a set of more general theoretical principles consistent with behavioral experiments.
Note that the issue here is specific to game theory, rather than merely being a reiteration of a more general point, which would apply to any behavioral science, that people behave noisily from the perspective of ideal theory.
For example, the panel proposed doing away with the existing category "AIDS and AIDS related research" and moving the seven study sections under this heading into new, more general science categories, such as immunology or behavioral processes.
6 Motor and speech development in infancy rely not only on specific processes but also on more general psychological functions such as response selection, behavioral adaptation, and categorization, 18– 21 which are also critical for "executive" cognitive functions later in life.
We now include more general details about the design in both the behavioral and imaging experiments throughout the Results section so as to minimize the reader having to go back and forth between the Experimental Procedures and Results.
However, HBEs can get around this problem, by pointing out that local patterns of overt behavior are manifestations of more general strategies; differences in the environment cause the manifestations of different elements of these complex behavioral dispositions humans possess.
