In this kind of exploration, actions that seem more promising, because of higher preference values, have a higher probability of being selected.
From practical point of view, applying the vdW mixing rule is associated with less calculations in comparison with GNQ and is of higher preference for complex simulations.
Respondents are assumed to choose the option of highest preference, or which has the highest 'value', with choices revealing an underlying utility function.
Study 2 assessed the effectiveness of a token reinforcement procedure as an intervention designed to increase independent sharing of high-preference items for the two participants who did not independently share those items during Study 1. Independent sharing increased for both participants when the token procedure was in place and decreased when it was removed.
Whilst we found an unsurprising baseline preference to the high-preference food site, we found that playbacks of high-preference food call sequences resulted in an even greater amount of foraging effort at this site, indicating the calls were meaningful to the receivers.
The inhibited cells were even more sensitive to the direction of covert attention, showing higher number of cells with high preference index.
The negative values of Gibbs energy indicated spontaneity and feasibility of the adsorption process with high preference of CR for the modified bentonites.
The negative ∆G obtained for the adsorption of MR dye onto DSAC dictates spontaneous nature and feasibility of the adsorption process with high preference of MR dye onto DSAC (Table 7).
In fact, the minimum welfare group from Fig. 6 consists mostly of individuals with high preference for leisure and high impatience, while the opposite holds for the maximum welfare group.
Service constraints of carpooling may result in high preference for the use of private vehicles over carpooling.
The second group of mothers represents those with high preference, but low levels of actual participation in leisure activities.
