Second, Newton's reputation ensured the success of his more-comprehensible theory that gas atoms repel one another.
Unlike a modern computer, the Pilot ACE looks comprehensible, in theory at least; the sort of machine that could, just about, be contained within an (expert) human brain.Less-known again than Turing's foundational role in the computer revolution is the breadth of his other interests, an imbalance that David Rooney, the exhibit's curator, says he is keen to address.
2. This strange sounding bit of theory becomes comprehensible when one takes into account (i) that logic was mostly practiced orally, and (ii) that, even in written form, no quotation marks were available.
Both count as cognitive values because they make theories cognitively accessible, comprehensible to our finite minds.
The official citation says it's because Galbraith "has made complex economic theories and processes comprehensible to a wide audience and highlighted the social and ethical impacts of economic policies".
The theory of Krashen's Comprehensible Input Hypothesis (Krashen, 1985) is embedded in this teaching step to increase learners' learning motivation by exposing learners to comprehensible input that is understandable but one step beyond their understanding.
This year has already seen the publication of not one, but two excellent adventures for primary age children that explain complex key scientific theories in straightforward and comprehensible ways, but use them to create adventures that will hook either a young putative storyteller or a young putative scientist with equal fascination.
Krashen (1992), one of pioneer scholars in the area of input and famous for proposing the famous Input Hypothesis theory, maintains that input must be comprehensible to language learners and this comprehensibility is in relation to the readiness of the learners in acquiring the input.
To the contrary, he thinks of the clarity that extensionality brings as a great advantage, and of theories that lack it as not fully comprehensible: "I find extensionality necessary, indeed, though not sufficient, for my full understanding of a theory" (1995, 90f).
It is argued that semiotics has the potential to merge and unite various design approaches into one fundamental theory that is naturally interpretable and so comprehensible in terms of computer use.
All model elements have to be comprehensible and interpretable in qualitative terms, with the relevant economic theory as the guiding principle.
