A Bottom-up Approach to Concept Possession

چکیده
We present a bottom-up approach to the problem of fixing psychological requirements to concept possession. It is argued that four constraints are required: abstraction, directedness, multimodality and off-line processing. Taken together, these psychological requirements yield a view of concepts similar (on certain aspects) to “dual” philosophical pictures: both inferential role and referential mechanisms are necessary to characterize conceptual competence.

A Markovian model for association football possession and its outcomes
We propose a bottom-up approach to the study of possession and its outcomes for association football, based on probabilistic finite state automata with transition probabilities described by a Markov process. We show how even a very simple model yields faithful approximations to the distribution of passing sequences and chances of taking shots for English Premier League teams, which we fit using...

This quasi-experimental study investigated the effect of bottom-up and top-down instructional approaches on English as a foreign language (EFL) vocabulary recall and retention. To this end, 44 high school students from two intact classes were assigned to bottom-up (n = 21) and top-down (n = 23) groups.

To be useful, automatic document classification systems must accurately place documents in categories that are meaningful to users. Because concept mapping externalizes humans’ conceptualizations of a domain, concept maps provide meaningful categories for organizing documents. Since electronic concept-mapping tools provide mechanisms for using concept maps for effective document access, using c...

Recent progress in quantum gravity and string theory has raised interest among scientists to whether or not nature behaves discretely at the Planck scale. There are two attitudes twoards this discretenes i.e. top-down and bottom-up approach. We have followed up the bottom-up approach. Here we have tried to describe how macroscopic space-time or its underlying mesoscopic substratum emerges from ...

Coaches, fans and the media identify successful football performance as finishing as high in the league as possible.
