semi Automatic Behavior analysis using robot insect mixed society and video tracking
Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2010Co-Authors: Rodrigo Da Silva Guerra, Hitoshi Aonuma, Koh Hosoda, Minoru AsadaAbstract:This paper proposes a novel robot/insect mixed society setup which enhances the possibilities for insect Behavioral research and can be used as a powerful tool for interdisciplinary studies on insect Behavior. Micro-robots are equipped with decoys so as to allow a controlled dynamic interaction with crickets, Gryllus bimaculatus. A camera records the interaction and the video is later processed for the Automatic tracking of each encounter between cricket and robot. A novelty of our method lies in using the robots as tools for the controlled evoking of specific insect Behaviors rather than trying to build an insect-like robot. The possibility for performing controlled repeatable movements allows the stimulation of certain insect Behaviors that are usually difficult to trigger using insects alone, allowing consistent Behavioral research. A set of experiments were performed in order to validate the proposed setup. We also demonstrate the use of our setup for stimulating agonistic Behavior during an electromyography recording session.

Reaction in Action: Intergroup Contrast in Automatic Behavior
Personality & social psychology bulletin, 2004Co-Authors: Russell Spears, Ernestine Gordijn, Ap Dijksterhuis, Diederik A. StapelAbstract:Whereas previous research has shown Automatic Behavior conforming to outgroup stereotypes, the authors demonstrate Automatic Behavioral contrast away from a stereotype/trait associated with an outgroup (Study 1 and 2) and point to the importance of an "us-them" intergroup comparison in this process. In Study 1, participants colored pictures more messily when neatness was associated with an outgroup rather than the ingroup. In Study 2, using a different Behavior, participants primed with busy business people reacted faster than controls (assimilation) but became slower when their student ingroup identity was activated (contrast). Subliminally priming an "us-them" intergroup comparison set undermined the accessibility of outgroup stereotypic words (Study 3), especially for those higher in prejudice (Study 4). This suggests that people Automatically distance themselves from outgroup attributes when intergroup antagonism is cued or chronic. Implications for the role of self and comparison processes in Automatic Behavior are discussed.

Reflecting and Deflecting Stereotypes: Assimilation and Contrast in Impression Formation and Automatic Behavior
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2001Co-Authors: Ap Dijksterhuis, Russell Spears, Vincent LépinasseAbstract:Factors influencing the tendency to represent a social stimulus primarily in stereotypic terms, or more as a distinct exemplar, were predicted to moderate Automatic Behavior effects, producing assimilation and contrast respectively. In Experiment 1, we demonstrated that when an impression pertained to a group of elderly people it led to Behavioral assimilation to the stereotype (i.e., slower response latencies) and to contrast when identical information pertained to an individual exemplar. In Experiment 2, an impression of a single individual led to Behavioral contrast under normal circumstances but to Behavioral assimilation under cognitive load. Experiment 3 demonstrated that while a group impression led to assimilation under normal conditions, this effect was eliminated under conditions of accuracy motivation. Conditions that fostered assimilation were characterized by more stereotypical impressions of the stimulus target(s) compared to conditions that fostered contrast. Implications for Automatic Behavior are discussed.

Behavioral indecision effects of self focus on Automatic Behavior
Social Cognition, 2000Co-Authors: Ap Dijksterhuis, Ad Van KnippenbergAbstract:In this study, we tested the hypothesis that heightened self-focus would eliminate effects of stereotype activation on overt Behavior. Our hypothesis was derived from the literature on conscious attention and self-focus and on recent treatments of action control. Specifically, our hypothesis was based on the notion that self-focus makes alternative Behavioral cues salient and that this would lead to active inhibition of the stereotype and its effects on Behavior. Indeed, results of two experiments showed that heightened self-focus overrides Behavioral effects of stereotype activation. These findings were obtained with different stereotypes, priming techniques, and Behavioral measures. Consciousness…undermines the lawful, predictable nature of human Behavior and produces a situation of relative indeterminacy (Baumeister & Sommer, 1997, p. 75).

On the Relation between Associative Strength and Automatic Behavior
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2000Co-Authors: Ap Dijksterhuis, Hag Henk Aarts, John A. Bargh, Afm Van KnippenbergAbstract:In two experiments the relation between past contact, stereotypic associative strength, and stereotype activation effects on memory performance was investigated. It was hypothesized that, for some stereotypes, contact can lead to the development of stronger stereotypical associations. Associative strength, in turn, was expected to determine stereotype activation effects on Behavior (in this case, memory performance). In Experiment 1, it was shown that people who reported to have had much previous contact with elderly people performed worse on a memory (free recall) test after being primed with the stereotype of the elderly. People who reported to have had little previous contact did not show any effects of priming. In Experiment 2, we confirmed that this effect is mediated by associative strength. People who reported to have had a lot of contact with the elderly had developed an association between the category elderly and the attribute “forgetfulness.” The strength of this association, in turn, predicted the degree of memory impairment after activation of the category elderly.

habits as knowledge structures Automaticity in goal directed Behavior
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2000Co-Authors: Hag Henk Aarts, Ap DijksterhuisAbstract:This study tested the idea of habits as a form of goal-directed Automatic Behavior. Expanding on the idea that habits are mentally represented as associations between goals and actions, it was proposed that goals are capable of activating the habitual action. More specific, when habits are established (e.g., frequent cycling to the university), the very activation of the goal to act (e.g., having to attend lectures at the university) Automatically evokes the habitual response (e.g., bicycle). Indeed, it was tested and confirmed that, when Behavior is habitual, Behavioral responses are activated Automatically. In addition, the results of 3 experiments indicated that (a) the Automaticity in habits is conditional on the presence of an active goal (cf. goal-dependent Automaticity; J. A. Bargh, 1989), supporting the idea that habits are mentally represented as goal-action links, and (b) the formation of implementation intentions (i.e., the creation of a strong mental link between a goal and action) may simulate goal-directed Automaticity in habits.
