A neurobiology of learning beyond the declarative non-declarative distinction (open access)

A neurobiology of learning beyond the declarative non-declarative distinction

This article provides a literature review examining declarative and non-declarative forms of learning in neuroscience and psychology. The authors conclude that traditional taxonomy that distinguishes between neural systems supporting declarative and non-declarative forms of learning may be inadequate, as experimental and theoretical work suggests that other criteria may be more useful in categorizing the role of neural structures involved in learning such as the hippocampus and the basal ganglia.

Timescales of learning in the basal ganglia and the hippocampus (open access)

Timescales of learning in the basal ganglia and the hippocampus

This article is a commentary on "A role for the medial temporal lobe in feedback-driven learning: evidence from amnesia" by Foerde, K., Race, E., Verfaellie, M.,and Shohamy, D. (2013). It covers the idea that environmental feedback plays an important role with respect to both basal ganglia and hippocampus based learning. Evidence that both the hippocampus and the striatum are involved in reinforcement learning is given. This article suggests that future research use a more precise measurement of the two structures’ sensitivities to delay. The general picture suggests that the basal ganglia and the hippocampus share overlapping sensitivity to reinforcement signals, although at a different timescale.

State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR) Usage Among Emergency Managers in Texas (open access)

State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR) Usage Among Emergency Managers in Texas

Paper investigating current and potential uses for the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR) data to better assist people with disabilities. STEAR is a state-run database designed to assist emergency managers working for city and county governments to prepare for the needs of citizens with disabilities or transportation needs. Disability or special needs registries similar to STEAR have been widely promoted within emergency management as an improvement for inclusive planning and response. However, little research on the use or effectiveness of these registries exists.

Fueling Resilience: A risk-based comparison of post-fire programs and recovery outcomes in Northern California (open access)

Fueling Resilience: A risk-based comparison of post-fire programs and recovery outcomes in Northern California

Data management plan for the grant, "Fueling Resilience: A risk-based comparison of post-fire programs and recovery outcomes in Northern California." This study investigates post-wildfire recovery programs and outcomes in two neighboring, but vastly different counties in Northern California (Lake and Sonoma counties), which have experienced wildfire losses nearly every year since 2015. Working with community leaders and local governments, this study 1) documents the method, timing, and spatial extent of wildfire risk reduction efforts and recovery and 2) determines how these risk reduction efforts resulted from resources and programs available to communities. Next, the study offers a comprehensive post-wildfire examination of how wildfire recovery changes future wildfire exposure and sensitivity through 3) stochastic modeling of the potential risk reduction outcomes of recovery efforts. Finally, the study draws together model results and community perspectives to 4) identify transferable best practices for enhancing social-ecological resilience to wildfire.

RAPID: Collaborative Research: Examining Household Movements and Evacuation Decision-Making in a Compounding Risk Event (open access)

RAPID: Collaborative Research: Examining Household Movements and Evacuation Decision-Making in a Compounding Risk Event

Data management plan for the grant "RAPID: Collaborative Research: Examining Household Movements and Evacuation Decision-Making in a Compounding Risk Event." The purpose of this Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) collaborative project is to examine household protective action decisions during two simultaneous events: Hurricane Ida and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Time-sensitive data gathered through online, phone, and mail surveys and supplemented with GPS/mobile phone data will be used to examine household protective action decision-making and mobility patterns before, during, and after Hurricane Ida. The findings from this project are expected to save lives and minimize stress during evacuations and return trips. Additionally, the findings of the research will benefit the emergency management community and society as new knowledge related to protective action decisions during simultaneous hazard events can help maximize safety and efficiency in coordinating and managing the movements of displaced residents.
