Democritus the atomist – who lived in the fifth century BC – seems to have had some kind of belief in the gods: he thought that people see gods in their dreams, although they have no explanatory function for the workings of the material universe.
The concept of recognition therefore also serves an important explanatory function.
With such a structure the model may represent the world and have an explanatory function [ 16].
In addition to this explanatory function theories may be used for a more instrumental purpose – to construct a framework by which reviewers extract and subsequently analyse data from included studies [ 5].
It highlights the role of models as mediators between theory and experimentation, and as educational devices, as well as their relevance in testing hypotheses and explanatory functions.
(See the entry Frege for discussion of the sense/reference distinction and for more on the explanatory functions associated with senses.
In general, the five variables, relative advantage, compatibility, ease of use, trust, and perceived risk, reached 61.9% of explanatory ability for use intention, thus indicating strong explanatory functions.
Perhaps part of the problem is that more attention needs to be given to the question of what explanatory work conceptual structure is supposed to do and the possibility that there are different types of structure associated with different explanatory functions.
The approach showed its validity and is adaptable to other settings although there is an obvious need to continue the effort in the search of more explanatory functions.
In this study, we further investigated whether single-digit Arabic numbers automatically activate magnitude representations in adults or in children by substantially extending the original experimental task (Cohen, 2009), stimuli, participants, explanatory functions tested, and analyses.
A dimensional reduction of the space of the explanatory random function based on a Karhunen Loève expansion is used to define a conditional maximum likelihood estimate of the model.
