This "hindsight bias," he believes, may be an adaptive mechanism, crafted by evolution as a way to integrate new information with old.
"The big questions are about how to integrate new information that doesn't fit with the perception you have formed," he wrote in an e-mail.
As students design and construct artifacts, they integrate new information into their existing conceptual framework, developing relationships among ideas.
The different sources of information are not processed independently, but they are integrated: new information is produced that could not have been obtained with a single modality.
So, to be competitive, you need to be able to critically evaluate the scientific literature, integrate new information about your field into your existing knowledge base, and identify gaps that are ripe for new investigation.
So those who must cope with the introduction of new information technology – whether they are computer professionals, business people, workers, teachers, parents, public-policy makers, or others – can and should engage in information ethics by helping to integrate new information technology into society in an ethically acceptable way.
The framework can also be adapted to integrate new information on post-logging forest dynamics or to take into account new logging technique, e.g. new techniques of reduced impact logging (RIL) likely to decrease the quantity of damage for the same logging intensity [39] but used in less than 5%% of selectively logged areas so far [1].
From a natural science point of view, cybernetics seemed to be a meta-approach to understanding how systems behave, how they "learn" by integrating new information and how they can be steered [107, 108 Wiener; 39 Hagner; 49 Heims; 92 Schmidt-Gernig].
The data model has the advantage of: being able to dynamically store and integrate new information items that are not foreseen at system design time, and being instrument type agnostic; that is, you can store information on all imaginable financial instruments in one single framework.
"REM 'primes associative networks' allowing us to integrate new information into our problem-solving approach".
