CORRESPONDENCE PRINCIPLE [4 records]

Record 1 2022-01-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Astrophysics and Cosmography
  • Space Physics
CONT

The correspondence principle implies that any new theory in physics must reduce to preceding theories that have been proven to be valid. For example, Einstein's special theory of relativity satisfies the correspondence principle since it reduces to classical mechanics for velocities small compared with the velocity of light.

CONT

Le principe de correspondance de Bohr stipule qu'à la limite des grands nombres quantiques caractérisant les systèmes atomiques on doit retrouver les formules de la physique classique. Ce principe a permis en particulier de connecter les formules donnant les intensités du rayonnement des atomes quantiques avec les formules classiques.

DEF

In epistemic diagnosis by direct assignment of credit or blame, a modeling method for extracting information from behavior that follows observable behavior.

CONT

The idea behind model tracing is to create a close correspondence between units of the internal model and single steps of observable behavior. The required tuning of granularity can affect the design of the interface as well as that of the internal model. In ACT theory, knowledge compilation transforms declarative knowledge into a rule format that is directly usable for performance. As a consequence, compiled problem-solving knowledge, though it is a form of knowledge, maps directly onto behavior, unlike a concept or a principle, which must be interpreted before it can manifest itself in behavior. Thus knowledge compilation is really the core principle of the model-tracing paradigm. It can summarize claims of reasoning of arbitrary complexity as more coarsely grained rules. Model tracing is, in this sense, at the border between behavioral and epistemic diagnosis.

CONT

The model-tracing method operates in the context of intelligent tutoring systems which monitor students’ problem-solving activity. In that context, the diagnostic component need not compute the student’s solution path, because it can observe what the student does, step by step.

Subject field(s)
  • Management Theory
CONT

The purpose of job evaluation is to arrive at the determination of the relative rank of positions within a class. Organization or industry. The purpose of job matching is to determine the degree of comparability between jobs in particular organizations to comparable jobs in other organizations. The two processes are separate although share common principles(i. e. principle of significant difference, of best correspondence).

Domaine(s)
  • Théories de la gestion
DEF

Principe selon lequel les postes faisant partie d'une organisation doivent être suffisamment distincts du point de vue de leur valeur respective de ceux d'une organisation différente.
