Based on this "convergence" theory, afferent somatic and visceral fibres converge on the same neurones and therefore, when the neurones are stimulated by visceral afferents, the information for the higher centres of the central nervous system is relayed also to the corresponding somatic region [13, 16, 22, 30].
The per-capita income convergence theory describes the progression of low and middle-income countries converging with high income countries.
Convergence theory turned out to be wildly incorrect.
Perhaps subscribers to the convergence theory should study history more closely.
After all, "convergence theory" holds that, because poor countries grow at a faster rate than rich countries, over time the gap between the two will automatically diminish.
So, far from being the online free-for-all predicted under 'old' convergence theory, barriers to entry in pay-TV are rising.
In theory, any content could be made available over the Internet: the first strand of convergence theory is that everything can be reduced to bits.
Mr. Bell's main theme is the "interest convergence" theory he advanced 24 years ago -- that white leaders grant concessions to black people only to prevent upheaval or otherwise serve their own interests.
Actual reading will show that I argue with Snow's openly muddle-headed pro-Sovietism and de Beauvoir's complete and open pro-Maoism, but although I disagree with Galbraith's "convergence" theory I do not charge him with Stalinism, crypto- or otherwise.
Instead, it has divided into contagion theory (whereby crowds cause people to act in a certain way), convergence theory (where crowds amount to a convergence of already like-minded individuals) and emergent norm theory (where crowd behaviour reflects the desires of participants, but it is also guided by norms that emerge as the situation unfolds).
