Similarity in context
variety of cognitive acts, ranging from problem solving to categorization to memory retrieval. If William James (1890/1950) was correct in stating that “this sense of Sameness is the very keel and backbone of our thinking” (p. 459), we might expect similarity judgments to be stable, reliable, and less flexible than the cognitive acts that depend on them. There is considerable research, however,...
متن کاملScaling and Fractal Concepts in Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity: Comparison of Some Models
Measurement of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, is normally affected by flow patterns such as macro pore; however, most current techniques do not differentiate flow types, causing major problems in describing water and chemical flows within the soil matrix. This study compares eight models for scaling Ks and predicted matrix and macro pore Ks, using a database composed of 50 datasets...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Representing Similarity Data
This report develops and demonstrates algorithms for representing and displaying similarity data using three established cognitive models. The rst representational model, multidimensional scaling, represents objects as points in a coordinate space so that similar objects lie near each other. The second representational model, the additive tree, represents objects as terminal nodes in a tree so ...

Introduction: Clinical reasoning is a vital aspect of physiciancompetence. It has been the subject of academic research fordecades, and various models of clinical reasoning have beenproposed. The aim of the present study was to develop a theoreticalmodel of clinical reasoning.Methods: To conduct our study, we applied the process of theorysynthesis in accordan...
متن کاملChapter 2 Perspectives and Methods of Scaling
Transferring information between or across scales or organizational levels is inevitable in both basic research and its applications, a process generally known as "scaling" (Wu and Li, Chapter 1). Scaling is the essence of prediction and understanding both of which require cross-scale translation of information, and is at the core of ecological theory and application (Levin 1992, Levin and Paca...
