Relative absorptive capacity and interorganizational learning
- STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT JOURNAL
, 1998
"... Much of the prior research on interorganizational learning has focused on the role of absorptive capacity, a firm’s ability to value, assimilate, and utilize new external knowledge. However, this definition of the construct suggests that a firm has an equal capacity to learn from all other organizat ..."

Classification in the KL-ONE knowledge representation system
- COGNITIVE SCIENCE
, 1985
"... KL-ONE lets one define and use a class of descriptive terms called Concepts, where each Concept denotes a set of objects A subsumption relation between Concepts is defined which is related to set inclusion by way of a semantics for Concepts. This subsumption relation defines a partial order on Conce ..."

on Concepts, and KL-ONE organizes all Concepts into a taxonomy that reflects this partial order. Classification is a process that takes a new Concept and determines other Concepts that either subsume it or that it subsumes, thereby determining the location for the new Concept within a given taxonomy. We
Applications Of Circumscription To Formalizing Common Sense Knowledge
- Artificial Intelligence
, 1986
"... We present a new and more symmetric version of the circumscription method of nonmonotonic reasoning first described in (McCarthy 1980) and some applications to formalizing common sense knowledge. The applications in this paper are mostly based on minimizing the abnormality of different aspects o ..."

There is an urgent need for a new generation of computational theories and tools to assist humans in extracting useful information (knowledge) from the rapidly growing volumes
A solution to Plato’s problem: The latent semantic analysis theory of acquisition, induction, and representation of knowledge
- PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW
, 1997
"... How do people know as much as they do with as little information as they get? The problem takes many forms; learning vocabulary from text is an especially dramatic and convenient case for research. A new general theory of acquired similarity and knowledge representation, latent semantic analysis (LS ..."

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations: Classic definitions and new directions.
- Contemporary Educational Psychology,
, 2000
"... Intrinsic and extrinsic types of motivation have been widely studied, and the distinction between them has shed important light on both developmental and educational practices. In this review we revisit the classic definitions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in light of contemporary research ..."

and theory. Intrinsic motivation remains an important construct, reflecting the natural human propensity to learn and assimilate. However, extrinsic motivation is argued to vary considerably in its relative autonomy and thus can either reflect external control or true self-regulation. The relations of both
On the Difference between Updating a Knowledge Base and Revising it
"... this paper, we argue that no such set of postulates will be adequate for every application. In particular, we make a fundamental distinction between two kinds of modifications to a knowledge base. The first one, update, consists of bringing the knowledge base up to date when the world described by i ..."

that the AGM postulates must be drastically modified to describe update. The second type of modification, revision, is used when we are obtaining new information about a static world. For example, we may be trying to diagnose a faulty circuit and want to incorporate into the knowledge base the results
Building a Practically Useful Theory of Goal Setting and Task Motivation -- A 35-Year Odyssey
, 2002

They describe the core findings of the theory, the mechanisms by which goals operate, moderators of goal effects, the relation of goals and satisfaction, and the role of goals as mediators of incentives.
