Our group previously demonstrated that changes in mood induced by pleasant or unpleasant odors affect the perceived unpleasantness of painful heat stimuli, without significantly altering perceived pain intensity. In the present study, we examined whether changing mood by viewing emotionally laden visual stimuli also preferentially alters pain unpleasantness. Twelve female subjects immersed thei...

Aging is one of the most fundamental biological processes. It results in a decline in physiological function and an increased risk for pernicious diseases such as cancer. Oxidative stress has been proposed as a major cause of aging, but experimental tests of this hypothesis have been discouraging. Calorie restriction (CR) prevents age-related decline, but there are still gaps in our knowledge o...

We investigate the utility of explanation-based learning in recursive domain theories and examine the cost of using macro-rules in these theories. The compilation options in a recursive domain theory range from constructing partial unwindings of the recursive rules to converting recursive rules into iterative ones. We compare these options against using appropriately ordered rules in the origin...
