According to the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) [ 6], patient safety culture requires an understanding of the values, beliefs, and norms about what is important in an organization and what attitudes and behaviours related to patient safety are supported, rewarded, and expected.
"Merchant-funded loyalty programs reduce the cost of supporting rewards fulfillment," Robertson says.
However, it remains unclear whether the observed effects are region-specific or related to changes in functional connectivity of networks supporting reward processing.
Collectively, this work characterizes specific immaturities in adolescent brain systems that support reward processing and describes the influence of reward on inhibitory control.
During reward versus neutral trials, we hypothesized that both age groups would show increased activity in brain regions supporting reward-cue detection (e.g., VS) and value representations (e.g., VS and OFC).
An extensive literature has delineated the neural circuitry supporting reward processing in mature adults (Schultz 2000; Breiter et al. 2001; O'Doherty et al. 2001; Roesch and Olson 2004; Hikosaka et al. 2006).
These results are consistent with previous behavioral work showing decreased error rates with reward contingency in adults and adolescents during rewarded AS tasks (Duka and Lupp 1997; Jazbec et al. 2005, 2006; Hardin et al. 2007) and suggest that essential components of the circuitry supporting reward modulation of inhibitory control are on-line by adolescence.
In addition, three factors of the organizational environment top management support, rewards and incentives, and training have similar indirect effects.
This article details the psychometric properties of nine instruments designed to assess the following psychosocial characteristics of family caregivers: competence, mastery, self-efficacy, burden, optimism, preparedness, social support, rewards, and mutuality.
At Fieldston, being smart is supported and rewarded.
