  2. Temporal motivation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_motivation_theory

    The theory states an individual's motivation for a task can be derived with the following formula (in its simplest form): = where , the desire for a particular outcome, or self-efficacy is the probability of success, is the reward associated with the outcome, is the individual’s sensitivity to delay and is the time to complete that task.

  3. Dynamical systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_systems_theory

    Dynamical systems theory and chaos theory deal with the long-term qualitative behavior of dynamical systems.Here, the focus is not on finding precise solutions to the equations defining the dynamical system (which is often hopeless), but rather to answer questions like "Will the system settle down to a steady state in the long term, and if so, what are the possible steady states?", or "Does ...

  4. Clare W. Graves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_W._Graves

    Through his emergent cyclical theory, Graves has primarily been influential in the area of management theory, both during his lifetime and continuing into more recent years. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] [ 13 ] This was both the first major area in which he published, [ 14 ] and a major focus in his posthumous book detailing the complete theory.

  5. Spiral Dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_Dynamics

    Spiral Dynamics describes how value systems and worldviews emerge from the interaction of "life conditions" and the mind's capacities. [8] The emphasis on life conditions as essential to the progression through value systems is unusual among similar theories, and leads to the view that no level is inherently positive or negative, but rather is a response to the local environment, social ...

  6. Esther Thelen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_Thelen

    As the novel skill develops into a new behavior, it then in turn can be used to help develop future skills. Recurrent activities in the world reinforce this Dynamical systems theory of development and helps explain the constructivist view of the Developmental Systems Theory. Thelen's contribution in this area involves the notion that the nature ...

  7. Dynamic decision-making - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_decision-making

    Dynamic decision making research uses computer simulations which are laboratory analogues for real-life situations. These computer simulations are also called “microworlds” [4] and are used to examine people's behavior in simulated real world settings where people typically try to control a complex system where later decisions are affected by earlier decisions. [5]

  8. Empirical dynamic modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_dynamic_modeling

    A cornerstone of EDM is recognition that time series observed from a dynamical system can be transformed into higher-dimensional state-spaces by time-delay embedding with Takens's theorem. The state-space models are evaluated based on in-sample fidelity to observations, conventionally with Pearson correlation between predictions and observations.

  9. Systems psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_psychology

    Systems psychology is a branch of both theoretical psychology and applied psychology that studies human behaviour and experience as complex systems. It is inspired by systems theory and systems thinking , and based on the theoretical work of Roger Barker , Gregory Bateson , Humberto Maturana and others. [ 1 ]
