(University of Oregon, 2019-01-11)The study of decision making during adolescence has received considerable attention throughout the history of developmental psychology, justifiably, given the marked increases in morbidity and mortality that belie otherwise ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2012)Past research has established that children typically learn better from live demonstrations than from 2-dimensional sources of information like video. The current dissertation investigated the efficacy of a new form of ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2021)The asynchronous nature of remote classes brought by COVID-19 provides students greater control over their daily studies and has proven to be a double-edged sword. To better understand the effect of a growing asynchronous ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-10-26)This dissertation represents a study of how machine learning can be incorporated into existing econometric causal techniques, with explorationsboth in the costs and benefits of making that choice. The first chapter explores a ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2015-06)New mothers face significant learning requirements, and must develop skills necessary for their infant’s survival. Perhaps the hormonal changes that presage birth, and are maintained by breastfeeding, enhance mothers’ ...
-
(2006-06)Game theory is the sub-field of economics and mathematics that studies strategic decision-making behavior. Simple elements of game theory are taught in introductory micro-economics courses, typically in a lecture format. ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2013-10-03)This dissertation examines the forecast model selection problem in economics in both theoretical and empirical settings. The forecast model selection problem is that there often exists a menu of different suitable models ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-12)In humans and other mammals the hippocampus is critical for episodic memories, or memories of events that happen in a particular place and at a particular time. When one records from hippocampal pyramidal neurons in awake, ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2018-04-10)Sensory perception is context dependent and is likely modulated by task demands, learning and engagement to best serve specific goals of the organism. Sensory-driven behaviors also engage a cascade of cortical regions to ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-10-04)The present study examined whether individual differences in memory self-efficacy (MSE)—one’s perception and evaluation of their memory abilities—predicts learning and memory ability in a sample of healthy young adults. ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2019-04-30)Analogical reasoning is a foundational skill necessary for enabling learners to draw inferences about new experiences, to transfer learning across contexts, and to make abstractions based on relevant information from daily ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2014-09-29)This dissertation explores the modeling and estimation of learning in strategic and individual choice settings. While learning has been extensively used in economics, I introduce the concept into standard models in ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2018-09-06)The U.S. social security system faces funding pressure due to the aging of the population. This dissertation examines the welfare cost of social security reform and social security policy uncertainty under rational ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2004-03-29)We examine existence and stability under learning of sunspot equilibria in a New Keynesian model incorporating inertia. Indeterminacy remains prevalent, stable sunspots abound, and inertia in IS and AS relations do not ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2005-09-17)We study how the use of judgement or "add-factors" in macroeconomic forecasting may disturb the set of equilibrium outcomes when agents learn using recursive methods. We isolate conditions under which new phenomena, which ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2005-05-19)We show that if policy-makers compute the optimal unconstrained interest-rate rule within a Taylor-type class, they may be led to rules that generate indeterminacy and/or instability under learning. This problem is compounded ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2017)Babies learn what words mean through experience, but what is the relevant experience? We began to answer this question by capturing infant-perspective experiences in their everyday lives at home. Infants ages 3 to 24 months ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2016-10-27)DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Marko J. Mwipopo Doctor of Philosophy Department of Education Studies June 2016 Title: Secondary School Graduates’ Personal Experiences in the Context of English-only Language ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2006-10-09)We consider a linear univariate rational expectations model, with a predetermined variable, and study existence and stability of solutions driven by an extraneous finite-state Markov process. We show that when the model ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-02-27)In this dissertation, we investigate how speakers produce wordforms they may not have heard before. Paradigm Uniformity (PU) is the cross-linguistic bias against stem changes, particularly large changes. We propose the ...
