The Effects Of Reward And Risk Level Associated With Speeded Actions: Evidence From Behavior And Electroencephalography, Xingjie Chen
The Effects Of Reward And Risk Level Associated With Speeded Actions: Evidence From Behavior And Electroencephalography, Xingjie Chen
Masters Theses
Choosing a course of action in our daily lives requires an accurate assessment of the associated risks as well as the potential rewards. The present two studies investigated the mechanism of how reward and risk level influence the motor decisions of speeded actions (Chapter 2) and its neural dynamics (Chapter 3) by focusing on the beta band (15-30 Hz) oscillation patterns reflected in the EEG signals. Participants performed a modified version of the Go-NoGo task, in which they earned reward points based on the speed and accuracy of response. On each trial, the reward points at stake (120 vs. 6) …

Exploring Toddler Risky Play: Listening To The Voices Of Parents And Teachers Of Toddlers In One School Setting, Megan Chaney
Masters Theses
This qualitative study explored the understandings, definitions, and influences of three toddler teachers and four toddler parents within the context of risky play in toddlerhood at a Southeastern land-grant university early childhood laboratory school. Sociocultural and bioecological theories informed the study and the developmental niche conceptual framework guided the organization of data analysis. Video stimulated recall interviews were the primary data source. Data were analyzed using the constant comparative method to ensure triangulation of data. Findings include: (1) analyzing risky play is comprised of (a) the psychology of the caregiver, (b) knowing the child, and (c) cultural influences, (2) risky …
An Ahp Based Visual Tool Assignment Model For Accident Avoidance In Manufacturing Workplaces, Riddhi Pradeep Shah
An Ahp Based Visual Tool Assignment Model For Accident Avoidance In Manufacturing Workplaces, Riddhi Pradeep Shah
Masters Theses
Collaborative risk management techniques place management and workers equally while developing a safety culture in workplaces. Traditional risk awareness methods which are commonly carried out in workplaces, such as training and safety manuals, are inherently passive in nature. On the other hand, visual tools are active risk communication mechanisms which deliver specific risk information in a work area. The presented study places emphasis on risk awareness for workers through the assignment of visual tools, which is critical to the success of a collaborative framework. Traditionally, the assignment of visual tools to work area locations has been arbitrary, potentially causing the …
Tennessee Row Crop Producer Survey On Willingness To Adopt Best Management Practices, Kelsey Michelle Campbell
Tennessee Row Crop Producer Survey On Willingness To Adopt Best Management Practices, Kelsey Michelle Campbell
Masters Theses
This thesis presents two separate studies focusing on best management practice (BMP) adoption by row crop producers in Middle and West Tennessee. The objective of the first study is to summarize results the survey. Survey topics included producer perceptions regarding the benefits and costs from using no-tillage planting (no-till), cover crops, and irrigation water management (IWM); respondent responsiveness to BMP cost-share payments; and producer demographic information such as household income and age. The majority of survey respondents (87%) were already planting using no-till, but only 28% knew they could receive a cost-share payment for adopting no-till. Adoption of cover crops …
