Naive theory and transfer of learning: when less is more and more is less.
In this research, we examine how young children perform induction in the domain of biology. According to the essentialist view, even young children have a priori knowledge that some predictors of biological properties are central, whereas others are peripheral. According to the flexible-learning view, the roles of predictors are not fixed, and young children flexibly learn the predictive value ...
متن کاملWhen Less is More
engine and airframe manufacturers for decades have cited the direct relationship between engine wear and high exhaust gas temperature (EGT) in recommending that operators use less than maximum takeoff thrust whenever possible. While the cost benefits of reduced-thrust takeoffs are thoroughly documented, the safety benefits are not as well understood. Thus, there is a common perception that usin...

Many ethicists in the ancient tradition argued that human lives could be ...
متن کاملResuscitation: when less is more.
I N THIS issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY, Li et al. 1 report on a laboratory study of resuscitation from uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock in rats. For those who have not followed this topic in the trauma literature, the results might seem counterintuitive—even heretical. Resuscitate to a lower blood pressure? How could that possibly be better? Although the physiologic reasons for this enigmatic effect ar...
متن کاملWhen Less is Less and When Less is More: Starting Small with Staged Input
It has been suggested that external and/or internal limitations may paradoxically lead to superior learning (i.e., the concepts of “starting small” and “less is more”; Elman, 1993; Newport, 1990). In this paper, we explore what conditions might lead to a starting small effect. We report on four artificial grammar learning experiments with human participants. In Experiment 1A, we found an effect...
