Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. The journal will also consider critical reviews on selected topics. Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

It challenges the assumption of perfect rationality and reveals how many of our decisions are fast, subconscious choices, especially when we are time poor, distracted and multitasking. Knowing this aids us in understanding how a person is likely to behave in a given context. Using behavioural economics can help us design Travel & Tourism products and services that promote the sustainable choice as the most likely choice the consumer or traveller will make. Considering decision-making and behavioural insights can inform promotional and sales materials, pricing strategies, staff training and the design of the experience itself. Behavioural economic approaches employ nudges and behaviour-smart designs to avoid placing a disproportionate burden on the traveller to make sustainability decisions. This could impact positively the overall footprint of the sector. 1 WTTC × HARVARD LEARNING INSIGHTS | BEHAVIOURAL ECONOMICS INTRODUCTION RADITIONAL economic thinking assumes decision agents make optimal choices based on full rationality, selfishness, and tastes that remain stable over time1. That would mean that every time we face a choice, we proactively identify all the relevant information available to us, analyse it rigorously, and select the most beneficial of the available options. This model underpins how we believe consumers behave in a given context, such as a traveller choosing among different holiday destinations with varying sustainability options. We assume they make common-sense decisions, based on facts and without emotional influence.

  • Code of Ethics for Research in the Social And
    CODE OF ETHICS FOR RESEARCH IN THE SOCIAL AND BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCES INVOLVING HUMAN PARTICIPANTS As accepted by the Deans of Social Sciences in the Netherlands, January2016 Preamble This Code of Ethics for the Social and Behavioural Sciences is meant/intended as a guideline for research in the social and behavioural sciences involving human participants not covered by the Medical Research Involving Human Participants Act [Wet medisch-wetenschappelijk onderzoek met mensen, WMO). Research in the social and behavioural sciences is diverse in its nature and execution, and in many respects it differs greatly from biomedical research. This requires an independent guideline for ethical review of research involving human participants, taking the existing diversity into account. This diversity not only concerns the broad spectrum that constitutes the social and behavioural sciences, but also the research methods applied. Methods comprise surveys and interviews, focus groups, direct observation, physiological manipulation and recordings, standardised tests, descriptive methods, economic analyses, statistical modelling, ethnography and evaluation. In some disciplinary branches of the social sciences, in particular in psychology, minimal physical interventions are also used2. As contemporary research is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, it is impossible to draw a strict line between research in the social and behavioural sciences and other types of research. This complicates devising clear ethical guidelines to be applied to all forms of research. However, the following basic principles may be applied to the implementation of all research and, consequently, to the review of ethical aspects of research in the social and behavioural sciences in order to protect research participants: Avoidance of exploitation; Just distribution of benefits and burden; .

  • What Is Behavioural Science?
    01 behavioural science_01 behavioural science 16/01/2013 15:16 Page 1 Chapter 1 What is Behavioural Science? LEARNING OBJECTIVES When you have read this chapter you should be able to explain: • the alternative pathways to arriving at knowledge and their associ- ated limitations; • how the scientific method attempts to overcome the difficulties involved in knowing what is true; • what the main characteristics of the scientific approach are; and • how the scientific approach is applied to the study of human behaviour. INTRODUCTION At the start of the third millennium it is a generally accepted fact that all the matter in the universe, including our own bodies, is made up of 105 basic elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. Within the human body as in all living things the elements form molecules which are built up into different kinds of cells. There are many different kinds of cells corre- sponding to the different kinds of tissue in the body such as skin, bone and brain tissue. It is accepted that the brain is a very complex organ compris- ing billions of cells known as neurones intricately linked up together in a complex network. It is this organ that physically controls our behaviour – everything from our breathing to our personalities, learning and memories. In the chapters that follow we will explore the factors that influence the brain so as to produce the individual pattern of behaviour that we witness in each person. 01 behavioural science_01 behavioural science 16/01/2013 15:28 Page 2 2 Introduction to Behavioural Science Our current understanding of matter in general, the human brain and human behaviour was not shared by the majority of people throughout his- tory.

  • Brain and Cognition
    BRAIN AND COGNITION AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Impact Factor p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.2 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.3 ISSN: 0278-2626 DESCRIPTION . Brain and Cognition is a forum for the integration of the neurosciences and cognitive sciences. B&C publishes peer-reviewed research articles, theoretical papers, case histories that address important theoretical issues, and historical articles into the interaction between cognitive function and brain processes. The focus is on rigorous studies of an empirical or theoretical nature and which make an original contribution to our knowledge about the involvement of the nervous system in cognition. Coverage includes, but is not limited to memory, learning, emotion, perception, movement, music or praxis in relationship to brain structure or function. Published articles will typically address issues relating some aspect of cognitive function to its neurological substrates with clear theoretical import, formulating new hypotheses or refuting previously established hypotheses. Clinical papers are welcome if they raise issues of theoretical importance or concern and shed light on the interaction between brain function and cognitive function. We welcome review articles that clearly contribute a new perspective or integration, beyond summarizing the literature in the field; authors of review articles should make explicit where the contribution lies. We also welcome proposals for special issues on aspects of the relation between cognition and the structure and function of the nervous system. Such proposals can be made directly to the Editor-in-Chief from individuals interested in being guest editors for such collections. Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
