Relatively little is known about the neural bases of the Big Five personality trait Openness/Intellect. This trait is composed of 2 related but separable aspects, Openness to Experience and Intellect. On the basis of previous behavioral research (C. G. DeYoung, J. B. Peterson, & D. M. Higgins, 2005), the authors hypothesized that brain activity supporting working memory (WM) would be related to...

This article scrutinises the role of strategic and communicative rationalities in spatial planning. It contributes to theoretical discussion on planning, where rationality has usually been taken as a normative standpoint, despite evident guiding planning ground. To develop means for equally recognising two rationalities, introduces an analytical framework which four orientations are identified ...

In order to establish the intellectual identity of the organization, it is important for each organization to revitalize creative activity in the inside and attract the intellectual interests of the outside to the organization. This paper proposes the framework to support attracting the outside with transmitting the organizational intellect. We have developed models of organizational intellect ...

Henry Ford, it is said, commissioned a survey of the car scrap yards of America to find out if there were parts of the Model T Ford which never failed. I lis inspectors came back with reports of almost every kind of breakdown : axles, brakes, pistons all were liable to go wrong. But they drew attention to one notable exception, the kingpins of the scrapped cars invariably had years of life left...

Abstract Why should we be means-end rational? care whether someone’s mental states exhibit certain formal patterns, like the ones formalized in causal decision theory? This paper establishes a dominance argument for these constraints finite setting. If you violate norms of theory, then your desires will aptness dominated. That is, there some alternative set that could have had, which would more...

Given any observed demand behavior by means of a demand function, we quantify by how much it departs from rationality. The measure of the gap is the smallest Frobenius norm of the correcting matrix function that would yield a Slutsky matrix with its standard rationality properties (symmetry, singularity, and negative semidefiniteness). A useful classification of departures from rationality is s...
