AI and the advent of the cyborg behavioral scientist
Large Language Models have been incorporated into an astounding breadth of professional domains. Given their capabilities, many intellectual laborers naturally question to what extent these AI models will be able to usurp their own jobs. As behavioral scientists, we performed an effort to examine the extent to which an AI can perform our roles. To achieve this, we utilized commercially available AIs (e.g., ChatGPT 4) to perform each step of the r…
Irreducibility of sensory experiences: Dual representations lead to dual context biases
The impact of bundle comparisons on bundle preference
The bundling literature largely holds that a person's reaction to a given product bundle depends only on the characteristics of the products contained in the bundle. This paper, instead, proposes that people evaluate bundles in reference to other bundles that they have seen. Prior research indicates that people are sensitive to a bundle's “attribute inventory” or the aggregate level of comparable attributes possessed by its constituent products. …
Learning from Mixed Feedback: Anticipation of the Future Reduces Appreciation of the Present
Consumers can evaluate their past choices by comparing their obtained outcome to other possible outcomes. We demonstrate that how people process this comparative feedback depends on whether they use it to prepare for future decisions. In particular, the anticipation of similar future choices increases consumers' sensitivity to comparisons with better alternatives and reduces their liking of the chosen option. Our findings indicate that forward-lo…
Stimulus Context and the Formation of Consumer Ideals
When a choice set consists of a distribution of alternatives with correlated benefits and costs, consumers often exhibit single-peaked preferences—they prefer an alternative having moderate costs and benefits. Theories disagree about how adding additional lower benefit/lower cost or higher benefit/higher cost alternatives to this choice set will affect relative preferences for the initial set of alternatives. Prototype theory predicts that adding…
Different Scales for Different Frames: The Role of Subjective Scales and Experience in Explaining Attribute-Framing Effects
Consumers respond more favorably to positively framed attribute information than to negatively framed attribute information, a finding that has been attributed to the affective associations evoked by each frame. We contend that framing effects also depend on the range and level of reference values used to evaluate attribute information. When the range of reference values is narrower for a positive frame than a negative frame, attribute values abo…

Controversies over hydroelectric developments in sub-Arctic Canada
Several engineering schemes are now planned or are in various stages of completion to dam, divert, regulate, or otherwise control the flow of several major waterways in the Canadian sub-Arctic. This region, which contains many large river systems (Map 1), is viewed by a number of federal and provincial government departments as a source of reliable and relatively inexpensive electricity to satisfy the energy-deficient markets of southern Canada a…

Chronological list of expeditions and histrical events in northern Canda. IX. 1881–96
During this short period began what may be termed the re-exploration of northern Canada, a scientific examination of lands that had been roughly charted by expeditions of the previous hundred years, but that were otherwise little known except to fur traders, a few missionaries, and the occasional traveller. Only now did the newly confederated Dominion of Canada begin to take a practical interest in its vast northern expansions. The government sen…

of a wealthy family and was privately educated. Her long association with the Arctic regions began in 1924, when she visited Svalbard, and between 1926 and 1941 she organized, financed, and led seven summer expeditions to Arctic regions
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. XI. 1902–09
With this instalment, we conclude our presentation of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. Although we end here at about 1909, we have compiled the list up to 1920, a termination date chosen because the introduction of aircraft to northern Canada at about that time brought very many more persons into the region, and the list, to be continued after that date, would have to be conducted on different principles. We have presented th…
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. X. 1896–1902
With this instalment of our list, the Klondike gold rush reached its height and, nearly as quickly, began to decline as the miners’ interest turned to newer strikes in Alaska. The great influx of prospectors to the Klondike region led to the passage of the Yukon Act and to the extension into the area of the enforcement of Canadian laws by the North West Mounted Police. In most other respects, the important trends noticed in the previous instalmen…
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. VIII 1853–80
The Franklin Search continues through this instalment of our list, the main search culminating in the discovery by M'Clintock's expedition of the record that told of the Franklin expedition's success in finding a North-west Passage, of Franklin's death, and of the abandonment of his ships. Later, C. F. Hall and Frederick Schwatka discovered more bones and relics, which, however, added little to the bare outline of that tragic drama
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. VI. 1821–45
In this instalment of our list, we see that the Hudson's Bay Company, under the shrewd direction of its overseas governor, George Simpson, quickly recovered from its exhausting struggle with the North West Company and, strengthened by amalgamation with its rival in 1821, began vigorously to push into unknown country both west and east. In the east, the Ungava venture was an attempt, mainly unsuccessful, to develop a fur trade in the interior of t…

Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. V. 1790–1821
During the period covered by this instalment of our list, the accomplishments of the North West Company, both in geographical exploration and in the realization of profits were great. It consolidated its position in the fur-rich Athabasca district and, with a few posts along Mackenzie River, began to draw in the furs of that immense territory. Its traders invaded not only the western part of Rupert's Land but even Hudson Bay itself. The Hudson's …
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. IV. 1763–89
If the Treaty of Paris in 1763 secured the Hudson's Bay Company in its monopoly of Rupert's Land, it also, by the Cession of Canada, opened to British enterprise the river-and-lake routes, discovered by the French, from Montreal to the fur-rich country west of Hudson Bay. This instalment of our list covers the years of the Montreal traders' expansion into the North-west, their crossing of the Arctic watershed into the fur trader's Eldorado, the A…
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. II. 1670–1713
This second instalment of our list deals mainly with the competition between the French and English for domination of the fur trade in Hudson Bay. The period has been comparatively little studied and it has been difficult to piece out accurately and succinctly from the sources available the history of this lively period
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada: I. Early times to 1670
The following pages, the beginning of a series, are the first results of a chronological compilation of expeditions and historical events that will eventually embrace the entire Arctic and sub-Arctic area. We began work on the Canadian segment of the Northern Hemisphere in 1968, with financial support from the History Division of the National Museum of Man, a part of the National Museums of Canada in Ottawa. The History Division is allowing this …
The Drift of the whaler Viewforth in Davis Strait, 1835–36, from William Elder's Journal
In the autumn of 1835, eleven ships from British ports were beset in Davis Strait. A journal kept by William Elder, an officer of one of the unfortunate ships, the Kirkcaldy whaler Viewforth , was recently given to the Scott Polar Research Institute by Elder's great-niece, Mrs Ann M. E. Jackson. It was this journal that provided the inspiration and the quarry for a small book, now rare, edited by the Reverend J. Bain of Kirkcaldy (Bain, 1836). El…
The autobiography of Dr John Rae, 1813–1893: A preliminary note
In July 1967 the Scott Polar Research Institute secured at public sale the manuscript autobiography, hitherto unknown to scholars, of the Arctic explorer Dr John Rae. The Institute was enabled to pay the unexpectedly high price of the manuscript through the good offices of the Victoria and Albert Museum, which matched Institute funds provided by generous friends in Canada and the United States who have wished not to be named

The identification of Vinland
During the past 200 years, few informed persons have doubted that abouta.d. 1000 the Norse attempted to colonize a part of the New World that theycalled Vinland. But the location of Vinland and the meaning of the word itself have long been subjects of dispute among scholars, and the lack of incontrovertible evidence of Norse occupation has permitted a proliferation of hypotheses. Among the earliest speculators in this matter were Torfaeus (1705) …

The Rampart Dam proposal for Yukon River
The economic foundation of Alaska is not sufficiently broad and diversified to be secure. For twenty years past, the economy has been bolstered by heavy expenditures of federal funds, first on the building and manning of large military installations, more recently on the building and manning of DEW-line and BMEWS radar sites. But in the last few years, finding expenditure of military money within the State much reduced, Alaskan businessmen and le…

A Compendium of Errors: A Note on the Lowest Official Temperature for North America, 1910-1947
For 37 years the lowest temperature officially accepted for North America was that of -79°F. recorded by Father Gaston Houssais, O.M.I, at Fort Good Hope, N.W.T., Canada on December 31, 1910. This was not equalled until 1947, when a corrected reading of -81°F. on February 3 at Snag, Y.T., Canada was officially accepted. An analysis of the Fort Good Hope weather records from December 29, 1910 to January 1, 1911 raises serious doubts that a tempera…
