Further, a continuum of integration typologies is presented and three key responses explored and described.
We have adapted the classic task of random number generation (Jahanshahi, Dirnberger, Fuller, & Frith, 2000) to allow both an objective, graded continuum of integration of stimulus information, and also a graded continuum of subjective experience of voluntariness regarding action choice.
A more comprehensive perspective on STEM integration is featured in Vasquez et al.'s work (2013; Table 1), where different forms of boundary crossing are displayed along a continuum of increasing levels of integration, with progression along the continuum involving greater interconnection and interdependence among the disciplines.
While this study highlights the importance of giving increased consideration to persons with multimorbidity, particularly the elderly, providing a continuum of care and integration should be considered a priority [ 23].
Vasquez et al. (2013) described STEM curricula on a continuum of increasing levels of integration from multidisciplinary to interdisciplinary to transdisciplinary.
A second empirically-derived category consisted of seven different Treatment centers combining CAM and BHC, which could be placed along a continuum with varying levels of integration between different therapies from use of psychosocial interventions in a BHC setting, to integration of BHC and CAM treatment.
Each model is positioned along a continuum to represent the respective levels of integration of the biomedical and CAM paradigms, from a parallel to an integrative model of practice.
However, it is also important to note that integration and modularity refer to relative measures between two extremes of a continuum, total integration and total modularity, rather than refer to two discrete states [ 19, 23, 60].
This kind of uneven service availability, without the benefit of integration, negatively affects the continuum of care available to clients.
In provisioning the emergying IoT data in addition to the legacy Cloud services, the Cloud and Fog form a natural continuum of one another and the integration of these two key technologies would offer a promising infrastructure full with IoT resources for IoT data provisioning.
Vasquez et al.'s (2013) continuum of disciplinary through transdisciplinary approaches to integration, with increasing interconnection and interdependence among the disciplines, provides one framework for addressing STEM integration.
