Colors as explainers?
نویسنده
چکیده
Byrne & Hilbert (B&H) argue that colors are reflectance properties of objects. They also claim that a necessary condition for something’s being a color is that it causally explain – or be causally implicated in the explanation of – our perceptions of color. I argue that these two positions

Thai visitors’ expectations and experiences of explainer interaction within a science museum context
In Western literature, there is evidence that museum explainers offer significant potential for enhancing visitors' learning through influencing their knowledge, content, action, behaviour and attitudes. However, little research has focused on the role of explainers in other cultural contexts. This study explored interactions between visitors and museum explainers within the setting of Thailand...
متن کاملThe Role of FLIPP Explainers as a Tool to Assist the Visual Composition of Web Services for Enterprise Systems
This work considers process orchestration for software development on Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). In this research the concept of FLIPP explainers are introduced to the web service community. The FLIPP explainer is a conceptual structure providing mass simplification to otherwise complex logic without the use of text or symbols. In this research the FLIPP explainer has been transforme...
متن کاملEliciting Self-Explanations Improves Understanding
Learning involves the integration of new information into existing knowledge. Generoting explanations to oneself (self-explaining) facilitates that integration process. Previously, self-explanation has been shown to improve the acquisition of problem-solving skills when studying worked-out examples. This study extends that finding, showing that self-explanation can also be facilitative when it ...
متن کاملExplaining Constrains Causal Learning in Childhood.
Three experiments investigate how self-generated explanation influences children's causal learning. Five-year-olds (N = 114) observed data consistent with two hypotheses and were prompted to explain or to report each observation. In Study 1, when making novel generalizations, explainers were more likely to favor the hypothesis that accounted for more observations. In Study 2, explainers favored...
متن کاملExplaining Influences Children's Reliance on Evidence and Prior Knowledge in Causal Induction
In two studies, we examine how prompting 5and 6-year-olds to explain observed outcomes influences causal learning. In Study 1, children were presented with data consistent with two causal regularities. Explainers outperformed controls in generalizing the regularity that accounted for more observations. In Study 2, this regularity was pitted against an alternative that accounted for fewer observ...
