Indeed, innate relative preferences under conditions of choice are systematically larger than the differences in single-odor preferences would predict (see supplementary Figure 7); therefore, relative measures of innate preference between 2 odors can resolve differences in "valuation" that single-odor preference measures cannot resolve.
Crockett et al. 71, 73 demonstrated that serotonin depletion amplifies negative social preferences under conditions of disadvantageous inequality (Fig. 3B, dashed line), whereas serotonin enhancement diminishes negative social preferences in this setting (Fig. 3B, dotted line).
The fully randomised preference trial seems to be more widely used now, which would enable further work to determine the treatment effects of patients' preferences in different clinical conditions.
A seasoned crowd: diverse in age, appearance, sexual preference, condition of mind.
In background noise, however, where intelligibility enhancement algorithms are mostly used, both methods achieved similar results to unprocessed speech in terms of listening preference in some of the bandwidth conditions tested.
Each respondent was interviewed face-to-face to elicit his/her health state preference in each of three pairs of health conditions: (1) unilateral and bilateral blindness, (2) paraplegia and quadriplegia, and (3) mild and moderate allergies.
In several studies of insects and other animals [37] [41], mating preferences appear to relax under conditions of low conspecific population density.
Fish may extract signals and exploit cues from both ambient modalities and they may also select their sound and light level of preference in free-ranging conditions.
For comparisons of preferences in the control- and test condition, and comparisons between pro-social tendencies, exact Wilcoxon signed ranks tests were used.
Therefore the selection of the optimal alternative is more based on local conditions and preferences in that case.
