Concept maps, widely used in educational settings as effective ways of organizing and representing domain knowledge (Novak, 1998; Novak and Canas, 2008; Jonassen, 2006), are traditionally not intended as tools for modeling dynamic systems or for explaining how systems accomplish their functions.
Marcus in particular makes a strong and largely empirical case for why classical symbol systems are needed for explaining human capacities of variable binding and generalizing, and why existing connectionist models aren't up to the job to match human capacities while remaining non-classical.
This parameter sensitivity indicates that dynamical systems theory is particularly suited for explaining the rich dynamics found in excitable systems.
Based on our regression analysis, we observe that regional innovation system (RIS) variables are important for explaining the region's ability to attract Skattefunn funding.
The selection-only model tested here gives a framework for explaining any system in which adaptation is rapid and selection conditions appear mutagenic.
"You can think of Airware like Windows, it's an operating system for drones," explains Airware investor and board member Chris Dixon of a16z.
Technology acceptance model (TAM) developed in the IS area has emerged as a useful model for explaining e-learning system usage and satisfaction [29].
While a multi-level perspective on system innovation offers an analytical tool for explaining the role of landscape development and niche innovations in a transition of infrasystems toward sustainability, it has limitations in capturing hard-fought, inter- and intra-scalar contestations, and thus in exploring the role of governance structure and institution in a transition.
Instead, they said repeatedly that this is a "hands-free driving system for the highway", explaining that most consumers do not understand the SAE levels anyway.
Originally this was formulated for the oculomotor system, explaining covert shifts of attention as unexecuted eye movements.
