Connectionism promises to explain flexibility and insight found in human intelligence using methods that cannot be easily expressed in the form of exception free principles (Horgan and Tienson 1989, 1990), thus avoiding the brittleness that arises from standard forms of symbolic representation.
Such studies are important for detecting evolutionary changes in the functions of key traits, and can help explain flexibility in evolutionary lineages, as well as adaptive radiations triggered by key innovations.
"We did a very good job of explaining the flexibility, but maybe not a good job of explaining the contract terms," Mr. Cullinan said.
Thus, he explained, some flexibility is needed.
The analysis explains the flexibility of mobile computing as a direct function of the appropriation process.
We endeavor to explain the flexibility inherent to the twisted method, through examples and new computations, in order to suggest further applications.
Ideally, better understanding of expression and action of key transcription factors and the epigenetic landscape of Th17 can help explain the flexibility and diversity of interleukin-17-producing cells.
The surprising destabilization of β-sheet residues upon nucleotide binding, as seen in hydrogen/deuterium exchange experiments, shows that the number of closest neighbors does not fully explain residue flexibility.
The minimal mindreading system (system 1) described by Butterfill and Apperly is unable to explain the flexibility of infant belief representation or fast and efficient mindreading in adults, and there are strong reasons for thinking that infant belief representation depends on executive cognition and general semantic memory.
If there are clients out there insisting on full time Account Directors, (and I know there are a handful), we need to stand up to them and explain that flexibility may be required if they want the best person for the job.
