Computational science: shifting the focus from tools to models

Computational techniques have revolutionized many aspects of scientific research over the last few decades. Experimentalists use computation for data analysis, processing ever bigger data sets. Theoreticians compute predictions from ever more complex models. However, traditional articles do not permit the publication of big data sets or complex models. As a consequence, these crucial pieces of ...

Shifting the Focus From What to Why

After 4 decades of research on infant behavior and development, the time has come to shift our focus from What infants do to Why they do it when they do-to move beyond the single-minded search for mechanism and to consider the larger question of funcrion. Infants ate not merely incomplete adults who simply get better with age, but they are different organisms altogether, perfectly adapted at ev...
