As Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly operate in complex environments with real-world consequences, their safety becomes critical. While uncertainty quantification is well-studied for single-turn tasks, multi-turn agentic scenarios with real-world tool access present unique challenges where uncertainties…

When performing a physically demanding behavior, sometimes the optimal choice is to quit the behavior rather than persist and waste time and energy. The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), consisting of the anterior cingulate cortex and secondary motor area, likely contributes towards such utility assessments. Here…

As animals carry out behaviors, particularly costly ones, they must constantly assess whether or not to persist in the behavior or quit. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been shown to assess the value of behaviors and to be especially sensitive to physical effort costs. Complimentary to these functions, the…

Quiet quitting has attracted increasing scholarly attention, yet existing research has offered limited insight into how task-level experiences are associated with employees' effort restriction. Drawing on the strength model of self-control, this study develops a moderated mediation model to examine how and when…

Background Recent theoretical and empirical work has led to debate over the benefit of delaying the implementation of a decision to quit smoking in order to plan the attempt. These two need not be linked, planning can occur before a commitment to quit is made, or after it is implemented, as well as in between. This…

Irrelevant salient distractors can trigger early quitting in visual search, causing observers to miss targets they might otherwise find. Here, we asked whether task-relevant salient cues can produce a similar early quitting effect on the subset of trials where those cues fail to highlight the target. We presented…

Delegation allows an agent to request that another agent completes a task. In many situations the task may be delegated onwards, and this process can repeat until it is eventually, successfully or unsuccessfully, performed. We consider policies to guide an agent in choosing who to delegate to when such recursive…

'Olympia Konstantakopoulou' 'Ioannis Moisoglou' 'Parisis Gallos' 'Daphne Kaitelidou'] Introduction COVID-19 pandemic causes drastic changes in workplaces that are likely to increase quite quitting among employees. Although quiet quitting is not a new phenomenon, there is no instrument to measure it. Objective To…

Models of visual search posit that target absent responses occur when the quitting threshold for the trial is reached before a target is detected, and that feedback about missed targets allows the quitting threshold to be adaptively set to the difficulty of the search task. While these models may effectively capture…

'J. Pratt'] When a highly salient distractor is present in a search array, it speeds target absent visual search and increases errors during target present visual search, suggesting lowered quitting thresholds (Moher in Psychol Sci 31(1):31-42, 2020). Missing a critical target in the presence of a highly salient…

A uniform sunspot ε-equilibrium of a dynamic game is a uniform ε-equilibrium in an extended game, where the players observe a public signal at every stage. We prove that a uniform sunspot ε-equilibrium exists in two classes of multiplayer absorbing games, thereby extending earlier works by Solan and Solan (2019, 2018).

'Francesco Marcatto'] Growing attention has focused on employees’ repeated workplace decision to engage in work-related tasks and responsibilities at a minimum level that will not lead to their dismissal. This pattern of employee work behavior, labeled “Quiet Quitting,” represents a potentially problematic…

Action selection appears to rely on conjunctive representations that nonlinearly integrate task-relevant features (22). We test here the corollary hypothesis that such representations are also intricately involved during attempts to stop an action—a key aspect of action regulation. We tracked both conjunctive…

We prove that positive recursive general quitting games, which are quitting games in which each player may have more than one continue action, admit a sunspot ε-equilibrium, for every ε > 0. To this end we show that the equilibrium set of strategic-form games can be uniformly approximated by a smooth manifold, and…

We prove that every multiplayer quitting game admits a sunspot ε-equilibrium for every ε > 0, that is, an ε-equilibrium in an extended game in which the players observe a public signal at every stage. We also prove that if a certain matrix that is derived from the payoffs in the game is a Q-matrix in the sense of…

This paper presents GLAS (Git-based Lab Automated Scheduler or Get Lab Automation Simplified), an open-source, robust, and highly expandable Git-based architecture designed for laboratory automation. GLAS can be deployed in both partially and fully automated experimental science laboratories, enabling the development…

Compliance with good research data management practices means trust in the integrity of the data, and it is achievable by a full control of the data gathering process. In this work, we demonstrate tooling which bridges these two aspects, and illustrate its use in a case study of automated battery cycling. We…

Much work has examined the process of canceling or inhibiting an impending action. However, the converse process of initiating a movement has, comparatively, been much less studied. Action initiation and action inhibition are generally considered to be independent and qualitatively distinct processes, while the exact…
