[BERG] BERG seminar this week

Dear all, Just a reminder about our seminar today at 4pm. Prof. Michael Beran (Georgia State University, USA) will be talking self-control in humans and non-human animals. Please, see below the title and short abstract for his talk. This meeting will be online (link below). Waiting Games with Different Names: Studies of Self-Control in Animals and People Self-control is an important capacity for optimizing long term benefits. Failures of self-control also underlie many of the most difficult behavioral issues experienced by humans. Thus, studies of self-control, and how to improve it (if possible) have been of great value, and this is true also for comparative research about the self-control of other species. I will describe some of the research I have conducted to assess delay of gratification and other forms of self-control in nonhuman primates, and how those studies differ from others that may assess forms of behavioral inhibition that are not equivalent to self-control. I also will highlight the ways in which human and nonhuman primate self-control may be similar or may be dissimilar, and how comparative studies shed light on better understanding human self-control.
