Acetabularia-Rhodopsin, eine lichtgetriebene Protonenpumpe aus einem autotrophen Eukaryoten
(2006-10-23)A rhodopsin from Acetabularia acetabulum (AR) is characterized by molecular genetic and electophysiological means. On the basis of a published, incomplete sequence, the whole transcript ... -
Answering Causal Queries About Singular Cases - An Evaluation of a New Computational Model
(2019-03-04)This thesis addresses the question of how causal queries about singular cases can be answered. Singular causation queries refer to causal connections between actually occurred events that can be localized in space and time. ... -
Aspects of Temporal Cognition in Children's Development:
(2014-02-10)The dissertation focuses on three aspects of children’s temporal cognition: (1) Children’s capacity to reason about temporal and causal relations between past, present and future events was investigated. In two experiments, ... -
Denken mit und über Kausalmodelle
(2001-03-07)Causal models are representations of causal structures and processes in the world. In this thesis two main questions concerning causal models are explored: "What are the differences between different causal models" (normative ... -
Do we prefer consensual advice - even when it is detrimental to our judgment quality?
(2019-07-23)In our daily lives we frequently seek the advice of multiple persons to make informed judgements and decisions. Often, these opinions are not independent from each other but rather are correlated to some degree. This ... -
Do we prefer consensual advice - even when it is detrimental to our judgment quality?
(2018-01-18)In our daily lives we frequently seek the advice of multiple persons to make informed judgements and decisions. Often, these opinions are not independent from each other but rather are correlated to some degree. This ... -
Der Einfluss des Abstands zwischen Initialschätzung und Ratschlag auf die Ratschlagsnutzung
(2012-11-26)Research on advice taking has so far suggested that advice is weighted less, the more it differs from a person's initial estimate. In this work, I postulate a curvilinear relationship between advice distance and its ... -
Fronto-striatal brain circuits involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and affective disorders: FMRI studies of the effects of urbanicity and fearful faces on neural mechanisms of reward processing and self-control
(2017-01-12)This thesis is concerned with two studies which have the common pursuit to improve the investigation of pathomechanisms underlying schizophrenic and affective disorders. They were motivated by the fact, that the diagnosis ... -
Kausales Denken, Bayes-Netze und die Markov-Bedingung
(2010-02-09)The ability to discover and use causal relationships is crucial for acting successfully in the world. A dominant current framework to model everyday causal knowledge are causal Bayes nets, ... -
Low Intensity Transcranial Electrical Stimulation: Effects on Categorization and Methodological Aspects
(2012-08-02)Low intensity transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) not only offers the possibility of clinical intervention in neurological disorders and conditions, but also provides us with a powerful research tool for understanding ... -
Phonological and Semantic Overlap Between Words: Effects on Recognition of Familiar and Recently Acquired Words in Early Childhood
(2022-04-14)Classical research on word recognition describes how when adult participants are presented with pairs of words that share phonemes or belong to the same semantic category, the processing of the second word is facilitated ... -
Social and Physical Cognition in Old World Monkeys - A Comparative Perspective
(2012-08-01)Primates have brains that are approximately twice as large as those of other similarly-sized mammals. Furthermore, also within the primate order brains have not only become increasingly large, but have also revealed ... -
Spatial Distortions in Visual Short-Term Memory
(2002-01-30)Two-dimensional topographic maps represent a major coding principle for spatial information in the primate brain. In principle, neuronal maps can be subject to systematic distortion caused ... -
Statistical reasoning in nonhuman primates and human children
(2019-10-17)Decision makers are often faced with different options and must make decisions without having perfect knowledge about the outcomes. They have only samples of data at hand, extracted from past and present states of their ... -
Steuerung der Beinmotorik von Grillen durch ein Paar gravizeptiver Interneurone
(2004-11-23)Gryllus bimaculatus has two position sensitive interneurons (PSI) integrating the afferents of the contralateral club-shaped (clavate) hairs in the terminal ganglion and ascending ... -
The access to causal relations in semantic memory
(2002-11-13)In my dissertation I investigated the dissociation between the causal model view and the associationistic view of the representation of causal relations in semantic memory. The associationistic ... -
The Consequences of Disregarding Advice in Judge-Advisor Systems
(2017-07-24)Research on advice giving and taking in the judge-advisor system (JAS) has focused on judges' attitudes and behavior. Advisors have not received much attention. Therefore, little is known about whether and how advisors' ... -
The Moral Permissibility of Killing in War: An Experimental Approach to the Moral Judgment of Side-Effect and Defensive Killing
(2022-09-05)In wars combatants face situations that challenge their moral compass. They may, for example, have to decide whether to pursue military victories to protect their community at the cost of harming innocents. They must also ... -
The role of causal representations in moral judgment
(2022-09-05)Morality and causation are deeply intertwined. For instance, the value of anticipated consequences is a crucial input for an action’s moral permissibility, and assigning blame or responsibility for outcomes generally ... -
Die Übernutzung nicht valider Ratschläge: Warum schlechte Ratschläge über Gebühr berücksichtigt werden
(2011-01-06)Advice utilization during judgment and decision-making is an integral part of everyday life. The most stable finding in the literature on advice taking is that judges tend to place too much ...
