Performance-Based Feedback and the Adaptive Regulation of Behavioral Plasticity
Meeting Abstract 41-4 Tuesday, Jan. 5 08:45 Performance-Based Feedback and the Adaptive Regulation of Behavioral Plasticity SOCKMAN, KW; Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill kws@unc.edu http://www.unc.edu/~sockman Optimizing plasticity in behavioral performances requires the abilities to regulate physiological effort and to estimate the effects of the environment. One way to do so is through the use of performance-based […]
