The metaphysical assumptions of cognitive science are explored with the goal to develop a problem-centered science relevant to the design and engineering of effective products and technologies. Radical Empiricism is suggested as an ontological foundation for pursuing this goal. This ontology poses a single reality where mind and matter come together to shape experience. Peirce’s triadic semioti...

Psychological theories of emotion have often defined an as simultaneous changes in several mental and bodily components. In addition, appraisal assume that component elicits the other components (e.g., motivational, behavioural, experiential). Neither componential definition nor theory been systematically translated to paradigms for induction, many which rely on passive induction without a clea...

Triadic relationships are accepted to play a key role in the dynamics of social and political networks. Building on insights gleaned from balance theory in social network studies and from Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical physics, we propose a model to quantitatively capture the dynamics of the four types of triadic relationships in a network. Central to our model are the triads' incidence rates and ...

E ective Static Debugging via Componential Set Based Analysis

Conventionally, pairwise relationships between nodes are considered to be the fundamental building blocks of complex networks. However, over the last decade, the overabundance of certain subnetwork patterns, i.e., the so-called motifs, has attracted much attention. It has been hypothesized that these motifs, instead of links, serve as the building blocks of network structures. Although the rela...

The effect of test on teachers, students, and their classroom behaviors has ever been amenable to scholarly studies. To explore such an effect, 20 professors offering MA TEFL preparation courses and 30 candidates received PLSP and APALS inventories. Paired-sample t-tests revealed significant differences. However, the respective componential multivariate ANOVA revealed non-significant and signif...

This article addresses the problem of redundancy and reliability allocation in the operational dimensioning of an automated production system. The aim of this research is to improve the global reliability of the system by allocating alternative components (redundancies) that are associated in parallel with each original component. By considering a complex componential approach that simultaneous...

Conceptual knowledge is closely related to a deeper understanding of existing facts and relationships, but also to the argumentation and communication of why something happens in a particular way. Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is the core of Conceptual Knowledge Processing. It emerged from applied mathematics and quickly developed into a powerful framework for knowledge representation. It is ba...
