Sometimes a lower level explanation is better relative to one epistemic property, while a higher level explanation is preferable relative to another epistemic quality, such as unification.
Jerry Fodor, Putnam, and others noted that, along with being an effective argument against type-identity theories, multiple realizability implies that any low-level explanation of higher-level mental phenomena is insufficiently abstract and general.
The design challenge is not to control the self-organizing process, as some instructional approaches attempt to do, but to facilitate the emergence of higher-level outcomes e.g., better explanations, more coherent understanding.
This alternative higher-level context for selective explanations allows us to make some sense of otherwise seemingly teleological claims about transposable elements (TEs) as "repositories" for or "facilitators" of future evolution, or even as "nature's tools for genetic engineering" (Kleckner 1981).
"It's tragic that our students are only grasping the basics and not doing the higher-level analysis and providing written explanations needed to succeed in higher education and compete in a global economy," NAEP chairman David Driscoll said in a statement, according to CNN.
Our result provides the first evidence for predictive sensory attenuation based on higher-level motor preparation alone, excluding explanations based on both motor command and (re- afferent mechanisms.
Another explanation for the higher injury rates for higher-level referees may be found in the more advanced level of play and game dynamics, which increases with competitive level [ 5, 6].
The reasonable explanation is that a higher-level noise will impact the precision of inliers in a larger degree and thus decrease the estimation accuracy.
The old age of many bird taxa presents one explanation of why their higher-level systematic relationships have been difficult to resolve using mitochondrial sequence data [ 16, 19, 20].
Species generally showed higher ED scores than higher-level taxa.
In contrast, practice alone (without metacognition) would be expected to improve lower-level skills (remembering facts and explanations) without necessarily affecting higher-level thinking.
