Cognitive Biases in the Hiring Process James A. Butler University of Maryland University College Cognitive Biases in the Hiring Process When hiring for open positions within a company‚ an employer may want to investigate an applicant’s past history through a process known as a pre-employment background check. This check or process is used to screen applicants to find quality employees. Employers want to know who they are working with before hiring a potential applicant. The background check will

Throughout the day‚ people constantly find themselves starting‚ stopping and finishing many different cognitive tasks. This study was conducted to discover the effect that task switching has on performance. Thirty eight students participated in this experiment. They were asked to complete both repeating and switching tasks. The 100 total tasks were fully randomized with 50 task repeating and 50 task switching. It was hypothesized that when a participant will be asked to switch a task over repeating one

The differences between circuit switching and packet switching circuit switching is a telecommunication technology by which two network nodes establish a dedicated communications channel before communication takes place whereas packet switching does not need a dedicated network to communicate‚ all network users can share the same paths at the same time. In Circuit switching to provide communication among N computers‚ there must be a connection for each computer and at least N/2 independent

Cost‚ Task-Switching‚ Repeating Tasks Task Switching Cost’s Time Brooklyn College City University of New York Abstract A replication of Task Switching Monsell 2003 experiment was done‚ which predicts a time cost when switching tasks. 18 participants had to complete 100 randomized trials‚ switching between task-repeat and task-switching trials. Reaction Times (RT) were recorded and reflected by experimenters‚ to determine that there is a time cost involved when switching tasks as opposed

AN ANALYSIS OF BRAND SWITCHING BEHAVIOUR SUBMITTED BY ABSTRACT: A proposed integrative approach measured consumer response to various incentives to switch brands. The response measure consisted of both actual behavior (i.e.‚ switching behavior) and an evaluative measure‚ which underlies the behavior. Self-perception theory was utilized to assess consumer switching behavior in response to intrinsic versus extrinsic motives. The integrative approach

A Study on Brand-Switching Behavior and Promotional Strategies for High-End Airline Flight Services Mihir Dash* and Jacob Alexander** This study analyzes the impact of different promotional programs on the brand-switching behavior of students with respect to premium flight services to determine the ‘optimal promotional mix’ that service providers should offer. This study uses the Markov brand-switching model in combination with game theoretic techniques to find the optimal promotional mixes

Susana Garcia IT242 week 5 Checkpoint Switching According to the textbook the packet switching networks move data in separate‚ the small data blocks or packets. When the packets are received they are reassembled in a proper sequence to make up the message. These packets do not depend on any path or connection and can take as many paths as necessary; this process is to maintain data integrity depending on the traffic load. The packet switched networks are used in LAN networks. The circuit switched

Discuss the Reliability of One Cognitive Process Memory is an example of a cognitive process‚ in other words it is a process by which knowledge is gained. This essay will attempt to explain the internal processes which are involved in memory and try to determine whether or not our memories as mental process of knowing‚ reasoning and judging can be considered reliable sources of information. First of all‚ memory is defined as the process of retaining and recalling past events or experiences.

As you can see there are many advantages and disadvantages to both network types but PBX is a more reliable technology as opposed to packet switching which is more efficient. Circuit switching is more commonly used in today’s society but there will always be both until a new technology is created‚ or they merge the two into some sort of hybrid
