A reasons-responsiveness theory turns upon dispositional features of an agent's relation to reasons issuing in freely willed action.
To compare responsiveness based on item response theory (IRT) with that based on conventional scoring for two patient-reported outcomes measures in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS); the short disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (QuickDASH) measure, and the 6-item CTS symptoms scale (CTS-6).
The most natural way to understand a reasons-responsive theory is in terms of an agent's responsiveness to reasons.
Modern psychometric methods such as item response theory (IRT) enable the creation of item banks that support fixed-length forms as well as computerized adaptive testing (CAT), often resulting in improved measurement precision and responsiveness.
Kannan is a co-author of several journal articles, including "Immune Oncology, Immune Responsiveness and the Theory of Everything," published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer in June 2018.
Key, who has given a lot of thought to the matter, feels that both his empathic and his imitative skills are essentially a form of hyper-responsiveness. "The theory is: There's no one in the world — there may be people as good as I am at this, but no one's better than me at adapting to a situation".
In habituation paradigms, early and late responses can behave differently as a result of regulation by different mechanisms; according to the dual-process theory, increasing responsiveness (sensitization) competes with decreasing responsiveness (habituation) to determine final behavioural outcomes.
The fact that we are able to predict accurately the nonlinear growth in system responsiveness using linear stochastic theory is both surprising and satisfying.
What Dong accomplished was not merely a theological justification for the emperor as the "son of heaven" (tianzi); rather, his theory of mutual responsiveness between heaven and humanity provided the Confucian scholars with a higher law by which to judge the conduct of the ruler.
A novel approach to inexpensive responsiveness is to utilize the theory of Selective Evolutionary Generation Systems (SEGS), which sequentially and probabilistically selects a candidate optimizer based on the ratio of the fitness values of two candidates and the level of selectivity.
This study employs the utility maximization theory, to describe responsiveness of farmers to new technology adoption (Adesina and Seidi, 1995; Adesina, 1996).
