Yet there was another 80s, one mostly written out of histories like this, a counterculture to whose intentions Mail readers were oblivious, which articulated the convictions of a large, disaffected minority who held that whatever Mrs Thatcher said, there was an alternative; multiple alternatives, in fact.
The evolution of current and new methods must also address the issues of the multiple alternatives in flux directionalities and the uncertainties and partial information from analytical methods.
Working in small groups, students proposed multiple alternatives that could in principle account for rats' apparently helpful behavior: inquisitiveness, a pheromone signal, an aversion to squeaky distress calls, and the like.
The selection environment interpretation leads initially to multiple alternatives that can, in theory, respond to the referred problem.
The degree to which multiple alternatives were developed in these decision processes was then evaluated based on two items on a seven-point Likert scale, which ranged from 1 = not at all to 7 = to a great extent.
Once again, we expect improved performance for the multi-layered frame structure since selective rules are used for layers holding only two slots, while multiple alternatives are gathered in levels with exclusive rules.
This is actually an approach to restoration ecology that is based in the existence of multiple alternative states in complex ecosystems [ 60, 66].
My first hypothesis, suggesting a mediation of multiple alternative generation in the strategic planning decision quality relationship, was tested in Models 2 4.
Open image in new window Fig. 2 Subspace clustering: algorithms compute multiple, alternative solutions in different subspaces, i.e., clustering by color (subspace 1) or by shape (subspace n).
Models 2 4 showed that all conditions proposed by Baron and Kenny (1986) for a mediation effect of multiple alternative generation in the relationship between strategic planning and decision quality were fulfilled.
Critical to creative cognition and performance is both the generation of multiple alternative solutions in response to open-ended problems (divergent thinking) and a series of cognitive operations that converges on the correct or best possible answer (convergent thinking).
