	Stimulus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stimulus (physiology), in physiology, is something external that elicits or influences a physiological or psychological activity or response
		In psychology, anything effectively impinging upon any of the sensory apparatuses of a living organism, including physical phenomena both internal and external to the body.
		In other fields, a stimulus is anything that may have an impact on a system; an input to the system.

	Stimulus (physiology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physiology, a stimulus is a detectable change in the internal or external environment.
		When a stimulus is applied to a sensory receptor, it elicits or influences a reflex via stimulus transduction.
		A stimulus is often the first component of a homeostatic control system.

	Principles for Economic Stimulus, 1/6/03
		The objectives of an economic stimulus should be to restore confidence, increase employment and investment, and assist those in need during the downturn without creating a structural deficit.
		The stimulus should not be limited to particularly industries, but should “achieve the greatest possible stimulus effect per dollar spent” by targeting individuals likely to spend additional funds and businesses likely to increase investment and employment.
		Stimulus proposals that worsen the long-term fiscal situation will make these challenges even more excruciating to deal with and ultimately lead to larger tax increases and cuts in programs, or to larger budget deficits.

	ACM Stimulus-Response Paper
		Thus, the designer always demonstrates a triggering stimulus operation, but as she does she can demonstrate a condition that must be true for the stimulus to trigger its response.
		She then demonstrates a stimulus of moving the accelerator slider bar, and a response of moving the car, and marks the response as periodic.
		When the stimulus is changed, either with the dialog or by a stimulus demonstration, the corresponding timeline (middle of Figure 6) shows only the responses corresponding to that stimulus.

	Generating jobs and growth
		Thus, a stimulus package that is both effective and fiscally prudent must consist of new but temporary spending, coupled with an immediate but temporary tax cut in the form of a wage bonus.
		Though it is widely agreed that some form of economic stimulus is needed, the meaning of “stimulus” and the characteristics that an effective stimulus package should have are not very clear in current policy discussions.
		A “permanent” stimulus package is unnecessary and could adversely affect the fiscal position of the federal government five or 10 years from now.

	Perspectives on the Tax Stimulus Debate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		If a stimulus package is desired and if tax elements are a part of the package, the tax elements should be designed with the current economic and budget outlook in mind.
		It is also worth emphasizing that stimulus can be provided via new government spending on purchases of goods and services or via increased government transfer payments, such as unemployment insurance.
		Second, whatever the magnitude of the short-term problem, it is worth noting that a significant amount of economic stimulus has already been provided, including $40 billion in rebates during the summer, $40 billion in spending for defense, rescue and recovery, and the airline bailout.

	Bush's Economic Report Card: Timely Stimulus, Poor "Bang for the Buck," Disastrous Budgeting
		On balance, Bush Administration deserves an "A" for quick reaction to the economic downturn in 2001, a "C-" for the effectiveness of its short-term stimulus policies, and an "F" for his management of the federal budget and long-term deficits.
		Rapid application of fiscal stimulus in the summer of 2001 combined with historically low interest rates to prop up U.S. economic activity in spite of serious economic "shocks." Fiscal stimulus helped prevent a debilitating bout of deflation (a prolonged downward trend in prices that can paralyze economic activity for years).
		There are two possible explanations: (1) supply-side incentives, which could create faster economic growth in the long run, despite the lack of effectiveness as short-run stimulus, (2) an expected "starve the beast" effect, in which lower tax revenues force Congress to restrain spending.

	CNN.com - Democrats to release stimulus plan - Jan. 4, 2003
		Dismissing President Bush's as-yet-unreleased economic stimulus plan as a "Trojan horse," incoming House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday congressional Democrats would release their own plan Monday -- one day before the administration is to unveil its ideas.
		Pelosi announced the Democratic schedule at a news conference, and she too criticized the president's plan as ineffective, fiscally irresponsible and weighted toward the wealthy.
		She said a plan under consideration to reduce the tax on dividends could cost as much as one-quarter of a trillion dollars over a 10-year period.

	CBO Evaluates Major Stimulus Proposals in New Report - 1/9/02
		The least effective stimulus proposals are those that would accelerate reductions in marginal income tax rates, repeal the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax, reduce capital gains tax rates, and allow deferred taxation of certain (subpart F) income earned overseas by multinational corporations from financial activities.
		Not only are these costs poorly targeted in terms of stimulus, occurring in years when the economy is expected to be in recovery, by they also add unnecessary costs in years when the budget outlook has deteriorated and deficits are now expected.
		On the grounds that the provision would yield economic stimulus, the stimulus bill the House passed in October would have made the provision permanent, while the recent House stimulus bill extends the provision for five years.

	Applying to the STIMULUS project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Participation in the STIMULUS programme also involves attending an orientation session at the start of the term (when volunteers are matched with a particular school at a mutually convenient visiting time) and also a training session during the school half term.
		The National Curriculum requires much more science, ICT and technology to be taught in primary schools than when you were there and there is a shortage of science teachers and maths specialists.
		This is either organised in one lesson a week in school for 6 to 10 weeks or alternatively in an intensive programme over 3 days in the part of the school term which occurs in a University vacation.

	Pavlov: Programming By Stimulus-Response Demonstration
		Because the stimulus object has also been signified as important, relationships found concerning it and the response object are shown at the top of the list of found conditions.
		A second complication to the response semantics is similar to that discussed in the stimulus section: if the demonstrated response object is representative of a set, the response is applied to the entire set during execution (or a subset, as defined by a context conditional [13]).
		The formula for R illustrates that the system infers the first parameter of the stimulus to be related to the first parameter of the response, the second to the second, and so on.

	Senate Blocks Stimulus Plan - CBS News

	Online NewsHour Update: Economic Stimulus Packages- October 25, 2001
		Lawmakers from both parties acknowledge the final economic stimulus package will probably not pass in the current House form because most Democrats and some Republicans say it slants too heavily in favor of corporations and wealthy Americans.
		Democrats unsuccessfully proposed a $125 billion alternative stimulus package that would pay for a $300 rebate, $3 billion for school construction and a series of other tax benefits by freezing the top income tax rate at 38.6 percent.
		Daschle stressed any economic stimulus package should include temporary rather than permanent tax cuts and be evenly divided between spending and tax relief.

	The first sample experiment
		There are two types of attribute for each event, the stimulus attribute, which controls the 'appearance' of the stimulus, and the event attribute which controls the way in which Psycope handles the event.
		It is advisable to consider the experiment as a whole - you are wanting to record responses, so moving onto the next stimulus immediately is not required - this is where you set up the use of the button box.
		The procedure for this stimulus needs to be repeated for each individual stimulus (but later we will look at a way that you can specify on stimulus/condition/attribute sequence for a group of events).

	The Stimulus Scam
		In the bipartisan spirit of the moment, the president signed off on principles drawn up by leaders of both budget committees: that the stimulus package be balanced between spending and tax cuts, be temporary in duration to avoid running up permanent deficits, be targeted to those most in need, and have immediate effect.
		The lobbyists realized the growing support forming behind a stimulus package presented them with a great chance to pocket tax breaks that they'd sought for years -- to the tune of tens of billions of dollars.
		Senate Democrats responded by coughing up a surprisingly decent economic stimulus bill of their own, one that hews far closer to the initial criteria, featuring spending on domestic security, help for unemployed workers and temporary investment credits rather than open-ended tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy.
