prior Knowledge Potential financial reward and opportunity identification
Social Science Research Network, 2005Co-Authors: Dean A Shepherd, Dawn R DetienneAbstract:The relationship between the level of prior Knowledge of customer problems and Potential financial reward in the identification of opportunities is examined in terms of both the number of opportunities identified and the innovativeness of these opportunities.Considered is whether prior customer Knowledge is directly related to opportunity identification, whether Potential financial reward is directly related to identification, and whether prior Knowledge moderates the relationship between Potential financial reward and the identification of opportunities. Research is based on Austrian economics and cognitive psychology, which are used to emphasize how an individual’s level of prior Knowledge impacts the identification of opportunities.Based on an experimental study with78 MBA and executive MBA students in Colorado, results suggest that the relationship between Potential financial reward and the identification of opportunities is moderated by prior customer Knowledge. While prior Knowledge of customer problems leads to the identification of more—and more innovative—opportunities, it also moderates the relationship between Potential financial reward and opportunity identification. Financial reward motivates people with little prior Knowledge of customer problems, but is not a major motivator for individuals with considerable customer Knowledge. (JSD)

prior Knowledge Potential financial reward and opportunity identification
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 2005Co-Authors: Dean A Shepherd, Dawn R DetienneAbstract:This article simultaneously explores the constructs of Potential financial reward and prior Knowledge of customer problems to provide a deeper understanding of the identification of opportunities. Results suggest that while prior Knowledge of customer problems leads to the identification of more opportunities and opportunities that are more innovative, it also moderates the relationship between Potential financial reward and opportunity identification. We found that the less Knowledgeable an individual was about customer problems, the more positive the effect that Potential financial reward had on the number of opportunities identified and the innovativeness of those opportunities.

salivating for Knowledge Potential pharmacological agents in tick saliva
PLOS Medicine, 2008Co-Authors: Joppe W Hovius, Marcel Levi, Erol FikrigAbstract:The incidence of tick-borne diseases has drastically increased over the past few years [1,2], resulting in a marked increase in research on tick–host–pathogen interactions. As a result, the Knowledge on molecules present in tick saliva and their function has significantly expanded [3,4]. Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites, and hundreds of tick species are distributed worldwide. While taking a blood meal, ticks are attached to their host for several days and introduce saliva into the host skin. Like saliva from other hematophagous animals, such as mosquitoes, flies, leeches, and nematode species, tick saliva contains a wide range of physiologically active molecules that are crucial for attachment to the host or for the transmission of pathogens [5], and that interact with host processes, including coagulation and fibrinolysis, immunity and inflammation, and angiogenesis [3,6,7]. In this article, we discuss molecules in tick saliva that have been intensively studied in vitro or in animal models for human diseases, and that, due to their specificity, are Potential future anticoagulant or immunosuppressive agents. We also discuss how immunologically targeting specific tick salivary proteins could prevent the transmission of tick-borne pathogens from the tick to the host.

when prior Knowledge interferes inhibitory control matters for learning the case of numerical magnitude representations
Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015Co-Authors: Elida V Laski, Alana DulaneyAbstract:The present study tested the interference hypothesis—that learning and using more advanced representations and strategies requires the inhibition of prior, less advanced ones. Specifically, it examined the relation between inhibitory control and number line estimation performance. Experiment 1 compared the accuracy of adults’ (N = 53) estimates on 2 number line tasks, 1 with standard (power of 10) endpoints (0–1,000) and the other with nonstandard endpoints (364–1,364). Inhibition, as measured by Stroop task performance, predicted the accuracy of estimation on the nonstandard number line task, above and beyond estimation on the standard task. In Experiment 2, changes in kindergartners’ (N = 42) 0–100 number line estimation were elicited through randomized training conditions, which involved playing a numerical board game. Stroop task performance was related to the rate of improvement in estimation, controlling for pretest number line task performance. The results provide a Potential explanation for the relation between inhibitory control and mathematics achievement: Individuals with better inhibitory control may be better able to suppress the activation of prior Knowledge and may be less vulnerable to interference from such Knowledge. Potential implications for instructional design are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
