Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,
, 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

such methodologies are developed, it will remain impractical to use activation theory in predicting or changing employee reactions to their jobs except in a very gross fashion; e.g., in situations where it is clear that most employees are enormously over-or understimulated by their jobs. A second problem has to do
External validity of ‘‘trivial’’ experiments: The case of laboratory aggression.
- Review of General Psychology,
, 1997
"... The external validity of artificial "trivial" laboratory settings is examined. Past views emphasizing generalizability of relations among conceptual variables are reviewed and affirmed. One major implication of typical challenges to the external validity of laboratory research is tested w ..."

Complex Systems with Trivial Dynamics
, 1210
"... Abstract. In this communication, complex systems with a near trivial dynamics are addressed. First, under the hypothesis of equiprobability in the asymptotic equilibrium, it is shown that the (hyper) planar geometry of an N-dimensional multi-agent economic system implies the exponential (Boltzmann-G ..."

From Practice Fields to Communities of Practice
"... In writing this chapter, we (a constructivist and a situativity theorist) struggled with the distinction between situativity and constructivism. and the implications in terms of the design of learning contexts. In clarifying (and justifying) our two sides, we created straw man and pOinted fingers wi ..."

from both the constructivist and situativity perspective that knowledge is situated through experience. In the context of this chapter, we found it trivial to distinguish among those learning theories and principles related to constructivism and those related to situativity theory. Rather, we discuss
Strong Cocycle Triviality for ... Subshifts
"... . We consider the cohomology of two-dimensional subshifts, and develop a new approach to proving that every cocycle is trivial (i.e. cohomologous to a homomorphism). We introduce semi-safe subshifts which, roughly speaking, have the property that some symbol can surround all allowed blocks in at lea ..."

Symbol grounding and meaning: A comparison of high-dimensional and embodied theories of meaning
- Journal of Memory and Language
, 2000
"... model meaning as the relations among abstract symbols that are arbitrarily related to what they signify. These symbols are ungrounded in that they are not tied to perceptual experience or action. Because the symbols are ungrounded, they cannot, in principle, capture the meaning of novel situations. ..."

. In contrast, participants in three experiments found it trivially easy to discriminate between descriptions of sensible novel situations (e.g., using a newspaper to protect one’s face from the wind) and nonsense novel situations (e.g., using a matchbook to protect one’s face from the wind). These results
Automatically parcellating the human cerebral cortex.
- Cereb. Cortex

Abstract -We present a technique for automatically assigning a neuroanatomical label to each location on a cortical surface model based on probabilistic information estimated from Introduction Techniques for labeling geometric features of the cerebral cortex are useful for analyzing a variety of fu ..."

parcellation procedure from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. A trivial example of this is the fact that many unbroken sulci change names as lobar boundaries are crossed. In addition, functional heterogeneity can make it desirable for adjacent areas to be assigned different labels despite the absence

Non-Trivial Solutions to the N-Person Prisoners ’ Dilemma
"... We have developed a new agent-based simulation tool to model social dilemmas for the case of a large number of not necessarily rational decision-makers (Szilagyi and Szilagyi, 2000). The combination of various personalities with stochastic learning makes it possible to simulate the multi-person Pris ..."

A variety of personality profiles and their arbitrary combinations can be represented, including agents whose probability of cooperation changes by an amount proportional to its reward from the environment. For the case of such agents the game has non-trivial
TOP NEAR THRESHOLD: all α S corrections are trivial.
, 1993
"... We have calculated part of O(αS) QCD radiative correction to the total cross-section of top’s threshold production in e + e − → t¯t → W − bW + ¯ b reaction. We found out a curious fact: there is no O(αS) correction to the total cross-section, originated from b ¯ b, t ¯ b, ¯tb gluon exchange and cor ..."

conclude that similar situation takes place for all unstable particles threshold production. This result can be expressed in the form of a general statment: There is no O(αQED or αQCD) corrections for the total cross-section, originated from the ”jet-jet ” interection. 1.
