Several theories of learning have been proposed to account for the acquisition of abstract, generative knowledge including schema theory, analogical learning and implicit learning. However, past research has not compared these three theories directly. In the present studies we instantiated each theory as a learning scenario (i.e., direct instruction, analogy training and implicit training) and ...

The studies reported in Chapters 3, 4, and 6 highlight how individuals across different contexts differ in their implicit assumptions, beliefs, and expectations about what ethical leadership should entail. As argued in Chapter 2, such differences in implicit theories of ethical leadership (IELT) may lead to variability in how these individuals perceive and understand the characteristics and beh...

10 Abstract Beliefs about how much people can change 11 their attributes—implicit theories—influence affective and 12 cognitive responses to performance and subsequent moti13 vation. Those who believe their attributes are fixed view 14 setbacks as threatening and avoid challenging situations. In 15 contrast, those who believe these attributes are malleable 16 embrace challenges as opportunities...

This note is a case study for finding universal measures for weak implicit computational complexity. We will instantiate “universal measures” by “dynamic ordinals”, and “weak implicit computational complexity” by “bounded arithmetic”. Concretely, we will describe the connection between dynamic ordinals and witness oracle Turing machines for bounded arithmetic theories.

Researchers have proposed that the cognitive distortions of sexual offenders are underpinned by a number of implicit cognitive processes termed implicit theories. Until recently, however, the implicit theory hypothesis has received little empirical support due to broader limitations with standard forensic assessment procedures. The current research aimed to determine whether a new assessment me...

This paper discusses some implications of knowledge creation processes in informal social networks for the development of technologies to support them. The principal point of departure are social theories of learning and the theories of organisational knowledge creation. The focus is on models for the exchange and sharing of implicit knowledge. A model of personalised learning knowledge maps is...

Traditionally, semantic role labelling systems have focused on searching the fillers of those explicit roles appearing within sentence boundaries. However, when the participants of a predicate are implicit and can not be found inside sentence boundaries, this approach obtains incomplete predicative structures with null arguments. Previous research facing this task have coincided in identifying ...

We propose a notion of pure type system with implicit co-ercions. In our framework, judgements are extended with a context of coercions and the application rule is modiied so as to allow coercions to be left implicit. The setting supports multiple inheritance and can be applied to all type theories with-types. One originality of our work is to propose a computational interpretation for implicit...

Using an innovative method, a Single-Target Implicit Association Test (ST-IAT) was created to explore the implicit theories of intelligence among science and liberal arts teachers and their relationships with their gender. The results showed that for science teachers—especially for male teachers—there was a negative implicit association between “intelligence” and “modifiable” stimuli, whereas l...
