Formal Models for Real People

(1) Experimentswith reasoning tasks, such as the famousWason selection task (Wason 1968), show that logical form is not a determinant of reasoning (2) Logic cannot deal with vagueness and prototypicality (3) Logic cannot deal with uncertainty and must be replaced by probability theory, which is after all the calculus of uncertainty (4) What we know about the neocortex suggests that the computat...

The world of everyday occupation: real people, real lives.

Betty Risteen Hasselkus Everyday occupation is a primary means by which we organize the worlds in which we live. The phenomenological experiences of day-to-day life build meaning and community in our lives; yet everyday occupation is often “seen but unnoticed.” Cultural tendencies and invisible social forces contribute to the obscurity of the everyday and, in severe situations, to occupational ...

The Sign-Real Spectral Radius for Real Tensors

In this paper a new quantity for real tensors, the sign-real spectral radius, is defined and investigated. Various characterizations, bounds and some properties are derived. In certain aspects our quantity shows similar behavior to the spectral radius of a nonnegative tensor. In fact, we generalize the Perron Frobenius theorem for nonnegative tensors to the class of real tensors.
