Movement "along the demand curve" refers to how the quantity demanded changes when the price changes. Shift of the demand curve as a whole occurs when a factor other than price causes the price curve itself to translate along the x-axis; this may be associated with an advertising campaign or perceived change in the quality of the good.

Firms hire them because they see the inflation as allowing higher profits for given nominal wages. This is a movement along the Phillips curve as with change A. Eventually, workers discover that real wages have fallen, so they push for higher money wages. This causes the Phillips curve to shift upward and to the right, as with B. Some research ...
In the parallel pattern, the finger muscles contract in an alternating fashion; in the anti-parallel pattern, the homologous finger muscles contract simultaneously. Kelso's study observed that when the subject begins in the parallel mode and increases the speed of movement, a spontaneous switch to symmetrical, anti-parallel movement occurs.
Each behavioural change theory or model focuses on different factors in attempting to explain behaviour change. Of the many that exist, the most prevalent are learning theories, social cognitive theory, theories of reasoned action and planned behaviour, transtheoretical model of behavior change, the health action process approach, and the BJ Fogg model of behavior change.
Spontaneous Alternation Behavior (SAB) describes the tendency to alternate in the pursuit of different stimuli in consecutive trials, despite a lack of training or reinforcement. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The behavior emerged from experiments using animals, mainly rodents, who naturally demonstrated the behavioral pattern when placed in previously unexplored ...
Durotaxis is the directional movement of a cell along a stiffness gradient. Electrotaxis (or galvanotaxis) is the directional movement of motile cells along the vector of an electric field . It has been suggested that by detecting and orienting themselves toward the electric fields, cells can move towards damages or wounds to repair them.
Undulatory locomotion is the type of motion characterized by wave-like movement patterns that act to propel an animal forward. Examples of this type of gait include crawling in snakes, or swimming in the lamprey. Although this is typically the type of gait utilized by limbless animals, some creatures with limbs, such as the salamander, forgo ...
The behavior of the logistic map is shown in Cobweb plot form. The animation shows the change in behavior as the parameter (r in the figure) is increased from 1 to 4, starting from an initial value of 0.2.) The logistic map is a discrete dynamical system defined by the quadratic difference equation:
