English

Subject field(s)
  • Social Psychology
  • Cognitive Psychology
CONT

SCT... explains human behavior in terms of a three-way, dynamic, reciprocal model in which personal factors, environmental influences, and behavior continually interact.... A basic premise of SCT is that people learn not only through their own experiences but also by observing the actions of others, particularly role models who seem credible and the results of those actions.

Key term(s)

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Behaviour
  • Social Psychology
CONT

Field theory arises from two interrelated views : the belief that psychological studies should focus on the individual, and the conviction that the only way to describe and predict behavior with any degree of accuracy is to view the individual in a field of dynamic relationships.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Comportement humain
  • Psychologie sociale
DEF

Record 4 2011-07-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Characterology
DEF

a procedure for discovering a person's characteristic modes of behavior(his attitudes, motivations, or dynamic traits) by observing his behavior in response to a situation that does not elicit or compel a particular response-i. e., to a relatively unstructured, ambiguous, or vague situation. Thus a child's response to an empty sheet of paper and colored crayons may reveal his emotional mood or his more enduring sentiments.... If the situation is a standard one, projective tests are spoken of.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie clinique
  • Caractérologie
DEF

Méthode d'étude de la personnalité qui confronte le sujet avec une situation à laquelle il répondra suivant le sens que cette situation a pour lui. Appliquée dans les tests de Rorschach, tests de complètement de phrases, tests de complètement d'histoire, tests de Wartegg, etc.

CONT

Les techniques ou épreuves projectives [sont] abusivement appelées tests.

OBS

Since its introduction in 1988, GRLWEAP(which is based on the WEAP program of 1976) has achieved wide popularity throughout the world. The program simulates the behavior of a pile(a slender elastic rod) and the surrounding soil(an elastic-plastic and viscous material) under the impact of a pile driving hammer. Powerful options combine the basic analysis of one hammer blow into the simulation of a complete pile driving process. Today the GRLWEAP software is recognized by many specifying agencies as the most reliable predictor of dynamic pile driving stresses, hammer performance, and either blow count or bearing capacity of an impact driven pile.

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics

CONT

Representing the evolution in time of a dynamic system by left shifts of the digits in a suitable number system brings out another important property of systems for which such a representation is possible. No matter how accurately the initial condition x0 of a coordinate is known, the accuracy will always be finite, that is, the digits of x0 to the right of the last known digit will be unknown. As the dynamic system evolves in time, the unknown digits will be shifted to the left; that is, they will grow in significance, and will sooner or later arrive at the "decimal" point and thus dominate the behavior of the system. And because the digits are unknown, this behavior will be completely unpredictable. The resulting motion is called chaotic.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mathématiques
  • Infographie
DEF

Se dit de structures ou de systèmes dont on ne peut prédire l'évolution à partir d'un état initial donné, ni d'états connus pour une longue période de temps, et dans lesquels un changement infime, se propageant en cascade, peut provoquer des modifications subites importantes.

OBS

Qualifie une situation qui évolue de façon irrégulière, mais dont les lois sous-jacentes sont relativement simples et ne laissent aucune place au hasard. Ainsi, un régime périodique peut devenir chaotique par intensification de déstabilisations intermittentes, par cascade de doublement de période ou via la quasi-périodicité. S'oppose à «non chaotique». Certains auteurs attribuent à ce terme le sens «erratique», «aléatoire», «désordonné» (sens usuel en langage courant).

PHR

attracteur, caractère, changement, comportement, condition, dynamique, état, évolution, fluctuation, forme, nature, orbite, potentialité, processus, régime, réseau faiblement chaotique, réseau fortement chaotique, série, situation, système, trajectoire chaotique.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

The general idea here is to use a form of reification to help the student do her own blame assignment by means of an abstract replay(Collins and Brown, 1987) of the genesis of errors in learning or problem-solving contexts. This use of diagnosis as a didactic resource can produce dynamic responses that engage the student to probe the system's understanding of her behavior...
