Experiment 1 was a 2(frame: win vs. lose)×(payoff: high, middle and low)design, and experiment 2 was designed as 2(frame: win vs. lose)×2(probability: 10% and 50%). The results showed that, people took more certain choices as the payoffs increased, and as the probability increased people were more prone to take the risky choice. Individuals with high entrepreneurial intention were prone to take more risks.

THE INFLUENCE OF VISUAL WORKING MEMORY CONTENTS ON VISUAL SEARCH Yang Haibo,Yin Shasha,Bai Xuejun 2010, 8(2):  150-154.  Abstract ( )   PDF (769KB) ( )   References | Related Articles | Metrics With the combined memory task and visual search paradigm, using 2-D abstractly symmetric shapes as materials,this study aimed to discuss the influence of contents of visual working memory to visual search. The results showed that:(1)the effect of the contents of visual working memory was significant. And the RTs were significantly longer in the invalid condition than in the valid condition.(2)there was a significantly difference in the effect of display type, showing that the RTs in the complex display was significantly longer than that in the simple display. The results suggested that the information which was maintained in visual working memory could affect the visual search efficiency and the display size did not change the trend of RTs. The findings supported biased competition model.
