A turning point for planning theory? Overcoming dividing discourses

A turning point in mathematical learning theory.

This target article by Estes (1950) sparked the mathematical learning theory movement, which took seriously the goal of predicting quantitative details of behavioral data from standard learning experiments. The central constructs of Estes's theory were stimulus variability, stimulus sampling, and stimulus-response association by contiguity, all cast within a framework enabling predictions of re...

Our selection of Turkey is a reflection of the daunting choices and challenges that face this country, as well as its inherent importance. Turkey is at a crossroads not only due to its strategic geographic location, but also because of the key internal economic, social...

WKB and Turning Point Theory for Second-order Difference Equations

A turning point method for difference equations is developed. This method is coupled with the LG-WKB method via matching to provide approximate solutions to the initial value problem. The techniques developed are used to provide strong asymptotics for Hermite polynomials. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Primary 39A10; Secondary 41A60, 65Q05.

A turning point for scholarly osteopathic publications.

The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association October 2013 | Vol 113 | No. 10 The resignation of Gilbert E.
