Taxing executive processes does not necessarily increase impulsive decision making.
A link has been established between impulsivity in real-world situations and impulsive decision making in laboratory tasks in brain-damaged patients and individuals with substance abuse.

We conducted an experiment to determine whether taxing central executive processes with a demanding cognitive load task results in impulsive de...

متن کاملDiversity does not Necessarily Imply Adaptability
Dynamic optimiser design currently assumes that diversity is a desirable property towards achieving adaptability, as a population-based optimiser contains an implicit memory. This paper examines the applicability of this assumption. Population-based algorithms of different size are tested against optimisers using a single solution. Results presented here suggest that this view is somewhat simpl...
متن کاملSpeculative Multithreading Does not (Necessarily) Waste Energy
While Chip Multiprocessors (CMP) with Speculative Multithreading (SM) have been gaining momentum, experienced processor designers in industry have reservations about their practical implementation. In particular, it is felt that SM is too energy-inefficient to compete against conventional superscalars. This paper challenges the commonly-held view that SM consumes excessive energy. We show a CMP...
