The Attentional Routing Circuit: A Neural Model of Attentional Modulation and Control of Functional Connectivity
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-26)Several decades of physiology, imaging and psychophysics research on attention has generated an enormous amount of data describing myriad forms of attentional effects. A similar breadth of theoretical models have been ... -
Attitude-Based Strategic and Tactical Negotiations for Conflict Resolution in Construction
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-01)An innovative negotiation framework for resolving complex construction conflicts and disputes has been developed in this research. The unique feature of the proposed negotiation framework is that it takes into account the ... -
Attitudes and Coalitions in Brownfield Redevelopment and Environmental Management
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-25)Conflict analysis tools are applied to brownfield negotiations in order to investigate the impacts of coalition formation and a decision maker’s (DM’s) attitudes upon the successful resolution of brownfield disputes. The ... -
Attitudes Toward Homosexuality: American and Canadian Patterns, 1981-2000
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-23)Previous research has determined that Canadians often exhibit more tolerant attitudes toward homosexuality than Americans, yet few studies have attempted to uncover why this pattern persists. Using World Values Surveys ... -
