This means that through comparison, items, objects or performances are measured with reference to another item, object or performance (Andrich, 1988; Rasch, 1961; Thurstone, 1927).
For instance, frequent pattern mining discovers implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful knowledge about relationships among frequently co-occurring items, objects and/or events.
The original conception of comparative judgement was that repeated comparisons of pairs of items, objects or performance used for an immediate perception with minimal cognitive processing.
The site currently houses a catalog of some 4,000 items, sorted into categories like clothing, shoes, accessories, bags, eye wear, books, LPs (yes, records), companions (e.g. pet items), objects (from corkscrews to typewriters), and more.
The Guttman structure provides a two-way observational frame of reference where comparisons are made between two items, objects or performances in a process of classification (Andrich, 1988; Bond & Fox, 2001; Humphry & Heldsinger, 2007).
Donald Regan, for example, argues that "given any two items (objects, experiences, states of affairs, whatever) sufficiently well specified so that it is apposite to inquire into their (intrinsic) value in the Moorean sense, then either one is better than the other, or the two are precisely equal in value" (Regan 1997, 129).
The average message handling time represents the time used to process the news article from XML string to news item object.
In this context, the notions of neophobia and neophilia (i.e., the spontaneous aversion or attraction of an animal to a food item, object, or place because it is novel [12]) are known to be important since they may play a decisive role in the ability of an individual to face new situations and may greatly influence an animal's apparent cognitive ability [12].
The role of the hippocampus in single item object recognition memory has prompted much debate.
Once the rat ran to the opposite side of the maze the sliding door was lowered, the rat could now explore a novel item (Object B1) and a familiar item (Object A2, a duplicate of Object A1 from Trial 0).
NMDA receptors (NMDAR) in the HPC were critical for encoding of object-in-place memory but not for single-item object recognition.
