	Sociable machines - The behavior system
		Kismet's behavior system is configured to emulate those key action patterns observed in an infant's initial repertoire that allow him/her to interact socially with the caregiver.
		Because the infant's initial responses are often described in ethological terms, the architecture of the behavior system adopts several key concepts from ethology regarding the organization of behavior (esp. Lorenz and Tinbergen).
		behavior is to flee from the offending stimulus.

	John Paul Scott Founder's Award
		Paul's early research included a 1942 study of social behavior in inbred house mice, studies of leadership and dominance in goats, and a study of social behavior and organization in sheep.
		Scott organized two key conferences at Bar Harbor, one on "Genetics and Social Behavior" in 1946 and the other on "The Effects of Early Experience on Mental Health" in 1951; they were pivotal in coalescing developing interest in animal behavior in North America into a coherent sub-discipline.
		Rather, he was a quiet builder of organizations and structures that advanced the field of animal behavior and a solid researcher and sytematizer whose social conscience drove much of his research effort.

	Compare Prices on Organizational Behavior: An Experiential Approach at YaPrice - Books & Magazines Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Consistently, through `experiential approaches' as described in "Organizational Behavior", adults learn more useful lessons from their experiences, learn what their lessons mean, learn how to generalize their learning for other applicable situations, AND apply more of their learning when they are back on the job.
		Organizational Behavior: an Experiential Approach makes clear that much of the text will be devoted to things like "Learning Style Inventories," "Thematic Apperception Tests," "Past Experience Inventories", "Active Listening Exercises," Case Studies, Role Plays, and the like.
		For those readers who want a more conventional approach to the subject of organizational behavior, Stephen Robbins has written a variety of OB books that are comprehensive, readable, and even entertaining.

	International Organization Behavior Post-September 11, 2001
		Above all, anthropology [or organizational behavior or management] of America must be anthropology of the center because, whether we like it or not, America is, if not "the" center of cultural life on the globe in this second half of the twentieth century, at least one of the two or three most powerful centers.
		The dominance of American corporations throughout the world as well as the accumulation of American social science findings in psychology, social psychology, sociology, anthropology, and political science and their application to management and organizational behavior theories, is pervasive throughout the world.
		Some problematic issues are the organization behavior and social science view of human progress, the role of the individual as agent, the nature of authority relations, the nature of organization change, and the structure of social inequality.

	Hiring a Behavior Analyst
		The situation with Behavior Analysis is no different than many other areas - and often worse because the consumer does not usually have the skills to distinguish the well-trained professional from one that is merely seizing on an opportunity to expand their practice.
		The requirement for behavior analysts is not as stringent as either of these training regimens at only a year or so, but does ensure that the person has actually done some work in the field under direct supervision prior to offering their services independently.
		The Association for Behavior Analysis International is the premier professional organization for those adhering to the functional approach to behavior change.

	Leadership - Organizational Behavior
		It is based upon the theory that organizations generally operate out of one of four modes - Autocratic, Custodial, Supportive, or Collegial.
		If there is only a small difference between three or four scores, then this indicates that you have no clear perception of the way your organization behaves, or the organization's behavior is highly variable.
		The organization depends on economic recourses to meet the security needs of its employees which leads to dependence upon the organization.

	Serial Organization of Behavior
		The spontaneous temporal organization of sequences will be used as a criterion for defining output chunks, as contrasted with input chunks, the type of chunk originally proposed by Miller (1956).
		Earlier, Lashley (1951) noted the importance of hierarchically organized motor programs in his analysis of the inability of linear models to account for the speed with which skilled sequences were executed.
		Instead of asking about the origins of serially organized behavior, cognitive scientists (mainly theoretical linguists and investigators of artificial intelligence) take for granted the availability of ordered sets, recursive strings and other formal primitives in their theories of seriation.

	Basic organization of operant behavior - Wolf & Heisenberg (1991) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Little is known about the basic functional organization of operant conditioning despite its popularity among the students of Cognitive Psychology.
		An organism is said to behave operantly if it is modifying its behavior in response to the comparison between its own behavioral output and its experience.
		In contrast to classical conditioning, where the organism experiences (and eventually memorizes) contingencies in its environment, an operantly behaving organism is constantly exploring the consequences of its own actions.

	Donald Olding Hebb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the course of the work there, Hebb wrote The Organization of Behavior: A Neuropsychological Theory, his ground-breaking book which set forth the theory that the only way to explain behaviour was in terms of brain function.
		A combination of his years of work in brain surgery mixed with his study of human behavior, it finally brought together the two realms of human perception that for a long time could not be connected properly.
		And, while the understanding of the anatomy of the brain did not advance much since the development of the older theories on the operation of the brain, he was still able to piece together a theory that got a lot of the important functions of the brain right.

		This new edition rectifies a long-standing problem for behavioral neuroscientists--the inability to obtain one of the most cited publications in the field.
		The Organization of Behavior played a significant part in stimulating the investigation of the neural foundations of behavior and continues to be inspiring because it provides a general framework for relating behavior to synaptic organization through the dynamics of neural networks.
		These forceful ideas of 1949 are now applied in engineering, robotics, and computer science, as well as neurophysiology, neuroscience, and psychology--a tribute to Hebb's foresight in developing a foundational neuropsychological theory of the organization of behavior.

	Historical Background of Organizational Behavior
		There are some writings from antiquity that suggest that systematic approaches to management and organization did evolve and were transmitted to others.
		While many people think of bureaucracy in negative terms, this model in its pure form was a dramatic improvement over the previous model of organization which was a feudal model based on fixed status and position by birth, not merit and unquestioned authority.
		These studies added much to our knowledtge of human behavior in organizations and created pressure for management to change the traditional ways of managing human resources.

		SEE analysis provides a large number of behavioral measures (endpoints) that were shown to be discriminative between mouse strains and replicable across laboratories.
		Endpoints are based on natural behavior patterns that are defined algorithmically without the need for a human observer, and, consequently, without subjective bias.
		This is a Mathematica-based software package that allows the visualization of the data, the construction of hypotheses concerning the organization of behavior, and the development of new behavioral endpoints.
