This corroborates previous work suggesting that expert-like evolutionary reasoning models include more stable associations of concepts within conceptual reasoning frameworks (Nehm and Ha 2011; Nehm and Ridgway 2011).
To the best of our knowledge, FACTA+ is the first real-time web application that offers the functionality of finding concepts involving biomolecular events and visualizing indirect associations of concepts with both their categories and importance.
The fever concept total score showed the same association of fever concepts with cultural background and SES.
Both interiors and exteriors of city halls, court buildings, and major government structures were usually in the "classical" style, symbolizing authority, power, and stability, based on our long historic association of these concepts with Greco-Roman antiquity and Renaissance thought.
Based on our previous work (Aharonovich et al., 2008), a custom version of the MicroCog (20 25 min in length) was used to measure working memory (Numbers Forward and Reversed), immediate/delayed memory (Wordlist 1 and 2), logical association of familiar concepts (Analogies), and spatial recognition/logic (Object Match A and B; Clocks).
We then used UBERON's cross-references to MA to associate MP concepts with MA concepts, leading to an association of 4000 MP concepts with 1162 unique MA concepts.
It could be that the association of this concept within students' evolutionary reasoning framework is not theory-like (Vosniadou et al. 2008), that it was selectively cued across items differing in surface features (Nehm et al. 2012; Nehm and Ha 2011) or that students simply prefer one scientific model over another (Bachelard 1968; Duit 2003).
The sole association of a concept to the different types of entity classes helps preventing the introduction of inconsistencies and/or facilitates the identification of existing inconsistencies in developed ontologies.
Apart from the hierarchies created by the IsA relation, terms are also linked through the associative relationship which covers associations between pairs of concepts that are not related hierarchically.
