A critique of current models of preventive behavior discusses a variety of factors that are usually overlooked-including the appearance of costs and benefits over time, the role of cues to action, the problem of competing life demands, and the ways that actual decision behavior differs from the rational ideal implicit in expectancy-value and utility theories.

As feedback gain increased, the error decreased faster and the steady error became smaller, implying the traceability to the standard solution improves, and increasing the velocity information by using multiple probes enhanced the UMI simulation by achieving ten times faster convergence and more reduction of error.
