AbstractThe human cortex exhibits intrinsic neural timescales that shape a temporal hierarchy. Whether this temporal hierarchy follows the spatial hierarchy of its topography, namely the core-periphery organization, remains an open issue. Using magnetoencephalography data, we investigate intrinsic neural timescales during rest and task states; we measure the autocorrelation window in short (ACW-50) and, introducing a novel variant, long (ACW-0) windows. We demonstrate longer ACW-50 and ACW-0 in networks located at the core compared to those at the periphery with rest and task states showing a high ACW correlation. Calculating rest-task differences, i.e., subtracting the shared core-periphery organization, reveals task-specific ACW changes in distinct networks. Finally, employing kernel density estimation, machine learning, and simulation, we demonstrate that ACW-0 exhibits better prediction in classifying a region’s time window as core or periphery. Overall, our findings provide fundamental insight into how the human cortex’s temporal hierarchy converges with its spatial core-periphery hierarchy.

And Task

Previous studies on locus of control and instructions have been interpreted to support the position of either a social learning theory or an anxiety. 144 college students were separated into locus of control categories based on scores on Rotter's I-E Scale and randomly assigned to receive skill or chance instructions and one of three anagram tasks of varying levels of difficulty. Primary dependent variables were number of correct anagrams and latency to the first response. The ratio of typical shifts to the total number of shifts in expectancy of success served as a third dependent variable. A check on the credibility of the instructions was also performed. The results of the moderate task showed that internals given chance instructions responded faster and solved more anagrams correctly than when given skill instructions. When the credibility of instructions was taken into account, significant differences between the groups were found for only those who did not believe the instructions. Assessment of credibility of instructions provided valuable clarification since disbelief of instructions may account for the results found in earlier research as well.

Ethical behavior is crucial in every profession, included accounting profession. The important role of the accountant in keeping stakeholders wealthy makes the accountant has to stick into high standards of ethics. The aim of this study was to analyze the difference level of moral reasoning ability in the accounting profession, measure individual ethical behavior using experimental approaches of hypothetical  situation, and empirically test the influence of locus of control, individual demographical characteristics (gender, age, educational background, work responsibility, and work tenure), and the accountant’s understanding code of ethics into the accountant’s ethical behavior measured by moral reasoning proxy.This study use the basic theoretical framework of Kohlberg’s Moral Development Theory in explaining and predicting the relationship of individual ethical behavior with its demographic characteristics. This study also tries to develop Conroy, Emerson & Pons (2009) study which analyze the relation of position level at work with individual ethical behavior, and added some variables: locus of control which referred to Rotter’s, and variable understanding of accountant’s ethical code.This study is a quantitative study using a survey method to find the effect of independent variables, partial and simultaneously to ethical behavior. We analyze sample responses to 96 respondents who works as an accountant in financial industry include banks and non-banks and the result shows that locus of control and accountant’s understanding of ethical code relates positively and significantly to accountant’s ethical behavior, while demographic characteristics are not a significant predictor of ethical behavior among accountant profession.
