Cognitive load during problem solving: effects on learning

by John Sweller - COGNITIVE SCIENCE , 1988
"... Considerable evidence indicates that domain specific knowledge in the form of schemes is the primary factor distinguishing experts from novices in problem-solving skill. Evidence that conventional problem-solving activity is not effective in schema acquisition is also accumulating. It is suggested t ..."

Implicit social cognition: Attitudes, self-esteem, and stereotypes

by Anthony G. Greenwald, Mahzarin R. Banaji - Psychological Review , 1995
"... Social behavior is ordinarily treated as being under conscious (if not always thoughtful) control. However, considerable evidence now supports the view that social behavior often operates in an implicit or unconscious fashion. The identifying feature of implicit cognition is that past experience inf ..."

Specification Analysis of Affine Term Structure Models

by Qiang Dai, Kenneth J. Singleton - JOURNAL OF FINANCE , 2000
"... This paper explores the structural differences and relative goodness-of-fits of affine term structure models (ATSMs55). Within the family of ATSMs there is a tradeoff between flexibility in modeling the conditional correlations and volatilities of the risk factors. This trade-off is formalized by ou ..."

by our classification of N-factor affine family into N + 1 non-nested subfamilies of models. Specializing to three-factor ATSMs, our analysis suggests, based on theoretical considerations and empirical evidence, that some subfamilies of ATSMs are better suited than others to explaining historical

An algorithm for finding best matches in logarithmic expected time

by Jerome H. Friedman, Jon Louis Bentley, Raphael Ari Finkel - ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software , 1977
"... An algorithm and data structure are presented for searching a file containing N records, each described by k real valued keys, for the m closest matches or nearest neighbors to a given query record. The computation required to organize the file is proportional to kNlogN. The expected number of recor ..."

of records examined in each search is independent of the file size. The expected computation to perform each search is proportional-to 1ogN. Empirical evidence suggests that except for very small files, this algorithm is considerably faster than other methods.

Comparison of Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms: Empirical Results

by Eckart Zitzler, Lothar Thiele, Kalyanmoy Deb , 2000
"... In this paper, we provide a systematic comparison of various evolutionary approaches to multiobjective optimization using six carefully chosen test functions. Each test function involves a particular feature that is known to cause difficulty in the evolutionary optimization process, mainly in conver ..."
Abstract - Cited by 628 (41 self) - Add to MetaCart
, the experimental results indicate a hierarchy of the algorithms under consideration. Furthermore, the emerging effects are evidence that the suggested test functions provide sufficient complexity to compare multiobjective optimizers. Finally, elitism is shown to be an important factor for improving evolutionary

The theory of planned behavior

by Icek Ajzen - Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes , 1991
"... Research dealing with various aspects of * the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1985, 1987) is reviewed, and some unresolved issues are discussed. In broad terms, the theory is found to be well supported by empirical evidence. Intentions to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted wit ..."

The Elements of

by Caley Earle R, Earle R. Caley - Statistical Learning: Data mining, Inference, and Prediction , 2001
"... Several years ago a native found in the bed of the Alpheus River in Greece a roughly rectangular sheet of metal which was evidently the flattened side of a cylindrical vessel, possibly a bucket or similar container. A repousee design in Greek style of considerable artistic merit had been formed in t ..."

An evaluation of statistical approaches to text categorization

by Yiming Yang - Journal of Information Retrieval , 1999
"... Abstract. This paper focuses on a comparative evaluation of a wide-range of text categorization methods, including previously published results on the Reuters corpus and new results of additional experiments. A controlled study using three classifiers, kNN, LLSF and WORD, was conducted to examine th ..."

the impact of configuration variations in five versions of Reuters on the observed performance of classifiers. Analysis and empirical evidence suggest that the evaluation results on some versions of Reuters were significantly affected by the inclusion of a large portion of unlabelled documents, mading those

Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.

by Shelley E Taylor , Jonathon D Brown , Nancy Cantor , Edward Emery , Susan Fiske , Tony Green-Wald , Connie Hammen , Darrin Lehman , Chuck Mcclintock , Dick Nisbett , Lee Ross , Bill Swann , Joanne - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."

Aging: a theory based on free radical and radiation chemistry

by Denham Harman, Ph. D - J Gerontol , 1956
"... The phenomenon of growth, decline and death-aging-has been the source of consider-able speculation (1, 8, 10). This cycle seems to be a more or less direct function of the meta-bolic rate and this in turn depends on the species (animal or plant) on which are super-imposed the factors of heredity and ..."
