Measurement and meaningfulness in conservation science.
Incomplete databases often require conservation scientists to estimate data either through expert judgment or other scoring, rating, and ranking procedures. At the same time, ecosystem complexity has led to the use of increasingly sophisticated algorithms and mathematical models to aid in conservation theorizing, planning, and decision making. Understanding the limitations imposed by the scales...
متن کاملAge and tachistoscopic perception.
A perception experiment involving tachistoscopic exposures of 10 alphabetic characters was conducted in order to answer the following questions. Do young and old adult subjects exhibit performance differences in tachistoscopic perception which involves the earliest stages of information processing; and, if so, what is the nature of these differences? The answer to the first part of the question...
متن کاملThe role of meaningfulness in paired-associate verbal learning.
A series of investigations (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) has been concerned with identifying and quantifying some of the variables which determine performance in verbal learning. In the first of these studies, Noble (4) developed a rational scale of meaningfulness (m) consisting of 96 dissyllabic nouns and paralogs ordered in terms of frequency of continued written associations in 60 sec. The m scale meets t...
متن کاملMeaningfulness and Invariance
Few disavow the principle that scientific propositions should be meaningful in the sense of asserting something that is verifiable or falsifiable about the qualitative or empirical situation under discussion. What makes this principle tricky to apply in practice is that much of what is said is formulated not as simple assertions about qualitative or empirical events – such as a certain object s...
متن کاملThermotactile perception thresholds measurement conditions.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of posture, push force and rate of temperature change on thermotactile thresholds and to clarify suitable measuring conditions for Japanese people. Thermotactile (warm and cold) thresholds on the right middle finger were measured with an HVLab thermal aesthesiometer. Subjects were eight healthy male Japanese students. The effects of postur...
