This study investigated the frequency of college students' procrastination on academic tasks and the reasons for procrastination behavior. A high percentage of students reported problems with procrastination on several specific academic tasks. Self-reported procrastination was positively correlated with the number of self-paced quizzes students took late in the semester and with participation i...

The development of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology makes it possible to track residents when installed to a house. We studied what valuable information can be extracted from location data of residents when we have carried out the data collection for years. We installed antennas into a group home, where six people with dementia lived, and asked the residents to wear slippers int...

This paper presents a customer behavioral model for grounding the number of purchase items in Agent-Based In-Store Simulator (ABISS). ABISS is a decision support system for a retail management. Using ABISS, we are able to virtually investigate the shopping paths of the customers and analyze the effect of sales promotion. To grounding the number of purchase items, first we conduct a field study ...

Knowing the locations and paths of individual mice is important for behavioural analysis of large groups of laboratory mice. Traditional observations are carried out by trained humans who are able to distinguish more than 50 behavioural patterns. A tedious labour limited with respect to observation length. In this paper an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)based tracking solution is presente...

Neural oscillatory activity is known to play a crucial role in brain function. In the particular domain of visual perception, specific frequency bands in different brain regions and networks, from sensory areas to large-scale frontoparietal systems, have been associated with distinct aspects of visual behavior. Nonetheless, their contributions to human visual cognition remain to be causally dem...
