Emery and Bird argue that their experiments are a further demonstration of convergent cognitive evolution between the primate and corvid lineages, with both groups having a generalized understanding of the physical world.
Construct validity was established through the demonstration of convergent and discriminant validity.
Study Two replicates these psychometric findings along with demonstrations of good test retest reliability and further convergent and discriminant validity.
This may accord with other demonstrations that some parts of auditory cortex can receive convergent input from other senses [e.g., see Ghazanfar et al., 2005; Lakatos et al., 2007; see also Bizley et al., 2007; Kayser et al., 2007, 2008; Schroeder and Foxe, 2005] via direct or indirect anatomical connections [see Falchier et al., 2002, 2010].
Convergent evolution, through which similar traits evolve in unrelated lineages, is a familiar demonstration of the power of natural selection.
Investigators analyzed their notes from the demonstration session (direct observations and practitioner verbal comments) and practitioners' written feedback for overarching and convergent themes of (e.g. acceptability of training content) as well as specific critiques and suggestions for revision.
In his examination of contemporaneous political beliefs, Hook's approach did not aim at the demonstration of conclusions as hypotheses with a high degree of confirmation that would take their place as progressive or convergent steps toward the ultimate truths of the social sciences.
They teach divergent, rather than convergent thinking.
It didn't help convergent thinking, though.
Molecular and metabolic convergent evolution.
Convergent is based in San Jose, Calif.
