Action theories such as Operant Learning Theory (OLT), which are also frequently used to explain behavior, postulate that past behavior is one of the most predictive factors for future behavior.
Given that rpm-1 mutants have abnormalities in synapse formation, but not complete loss of synaptic connections (Schaefer et al. 2000; Zhen et al. 2000), we postulated that behaviors requiring intense, protracted, or complex activity of the nervous system might be more sensitive to rpm-1 dysfunction.
As noted above, current treatment theories implicitly postulate that behavior change represents the cumulative influence of multiple, time-varying influences that occur within an individual.
It has been postulated that a behavior so widely preserved, yet metabolically expensive, must convey some net benefit to the host or it would not have been retained during evolution [ 11].
Even worse is the worry that some "human-like reasoning" postulated to explain human behavior is false, and that extraordinary behaviors performed by humans and other animals might arise out of simple processes (Andrews 2005, forthcoming; Penn et al. 2008; Shettleworth 2010b; de Waal & Ferrari 2010).
It has been postulated that both alternation behavior on the T-maze and win-shift behavior on the radial arm maze is reminiscent of a rat's tendency to seek out environmental information in an efficient manner by exploring new places rather than returning to previously visited ones (see reviews [ 57, 58]).
A convenient idealization of the facture behavior of concrete is the cracked hinge model, where a hinge-type behavior is postulated for predicting the response of concrete in flexure (Stang and Olesen 1998; Olesen 2001).
Thereby, it can be postulated that the investment behavior consistency is higher in Spain and Sweden.
The origin of this magnetoresistive behavior is postulated to be a geometry induced domain wall effect.
Postulated explanations for this behavior include dislocation-based models, diffusion-based models, grain-boundary-shearing models and two-phase-based models.
