In this commentary, we critically review the study of Greiff, Stadler, Sonnleitner, Wolff, and Martin, “Sometimes less is more: Comparing the validity of complex problem solving measures” (Intelligence, 2015, 50, 100–113). The main conclusion of Greiff et al. that the “multiple complex systems” (MCS) approach to measuring complex problem-solving ability possesses superior validity compared to c...

This research aims to analyze grammatical problems faced by the seventh semester students of STKIP Abdi Pendidikan Payakumbuh in writing introduction chapter proposal. The also determines caused those problems. 50 involved study. study showed that had proposal, exactly tenses 293 (37.66%). students’ is overgeneralization. Dealing with way lecturer teaching grammar, it was found grammar strategy...

This study examined the role of the native language (L1) transfer in a non-native language (L2) acquisition of the there-insertion construction at the syntax-semantics interface. Specifically, the study investigated if Mandarin EFL learners would make overgeneralization errors in the situation where an L1 argument structure constitutes a superset of its L2 counterpart. Verbs of existence and ap...

* Over-generalization is a well-known problem in empirical learning. Incremental and cautious generalization may limit it, but the concept description language may be incomplete or incorrect. In this case, overgeneralization may indicate that the language must be improved. This paper presents an interactive incremental learning method with a "smallest generalization steps" strategy such that wh...

Many varieties of regular languages have characterizations in terms of forbidden-patterns of their accepting finite automata. The use of patterns while inferring languages belonging to those families through the RPNI-Lang algorithm help to avoid overgeneralization in the same way as negative samples do. The aim of this paper is to describe and prove the convergence of a modification of the RPNI...

[Abstract] On the basis of a corpus-driven approach, this research investigates high-frequency verb collocations in the case of have by Chinese non-English major learners. Results show that despite the most frequent use of the verb have, the learners make use of relatively low collocation types. The learners tend to simply overuse the words related to the topic or given by the writing direction...

Evolution’s view Many optical illusions have evolutionary survival value, and thus many are hard-wired. We can train ourselves to be less influenced by such illusions, but we can’t eliminate them entirely. The analogous errors of the cognitive system are what I call cognitive illusions (or distortions in orthodox cognitive behavioural therapy literature). Overgeneralization is a common cognitiv...

Fashion design is often understood as one of design’s subfields that lacks critical reflection on its domain-specific situation. Research fashion practice has either simply adopted research results from studies or been overshadowed by social and cultural implications studies. This paper questions this overgeneralization design, especially the design. For inquiry, distinctive features dressmakin...
