English

Subject field(s)
  • Political Science
DEF

The use of military and economic means to influence the behavior or interests of other political bodies.

CONT

This form of political power is often aggressive, and is most effective when imposed by one political body upon another of lesser military and/or economic power. Hard power contrasts with soft power, which comes from diplomacy, culture and history.

CONT

At one extreme was hard or command power--the ability to change what others do through coercion(followed next on the continuum by inducement). At the other extreme was soft or co-optive power--the ability to shape what others want through attraction(preceded by agenda-setting).

The difference between new knowledge achieved by the learning activities and target knowledge for each knowledge measure.

CONT

Once a need or knowledge gap has been identified, the next step is to address what type of gap it is, learning or performance. Once you understand what causes the gap, there are several things you can do. For example, a performance gap can be dealt with through a coaching session or [a] one-on-one training session. A knowledge gap can be dealt with through computer-based training, job training manuals or further courses. A learning gap, however, can only be addressed through different styles of training that address the learning needs of the individual; it must be handled on an individual basis and the solution must [fit] the learner's specific needs.

CONT

The next question to ask yourself is how do you learn? If lectures put you to sleep, you most likely don’t learn well by listening, which means an instructor-led class is probably not the best choice. If, on the other hand, you can’t make yourself study on your own, the structure of an instructor-led class might be exactly what you need. If you learn better by reading a book, either self-study or online training might be the best choice.

Durant l'âge industriel, l'écart d'apprentissage importait peu pour les entreprises. La gestion se faisait du haut vers le bas (top-down). Une fine division du travail et la chaîne de montage caractérisaient l'organisation traditionnelle. Maintenant, l'écart d'apprentissage importe beaucoup plus. De plus en plus de gestionnaires comprennent que le succès à l'ère de l'information, tourne autour de l'habileté des employés de générer et utiliser le savoir pour alimenter des améliorations continues. Plutôt que de mémoriser une poignée de principes, l'employé doit internaliser des processus, obtenir du feedback et développer son jugement.

Subject field(s)
  • Criminology
  • Criminal Psychology
DEF

A person who commits a series of similar murders with no apparent motive.

CONT

[A] man was discussing what the Brits called crimes in series-a series of rapes, burglaries, arsons, murders. That seemed a highly appropriate way of characterizing the killings of those who do one murder, then another and another in a fairly repetitive was.... After a murder, the serial murderer thinks of how the crime could have been bettered.... When he follows this sort of train of thought, his mind jumps ahead to how he can kill more nearly perfectly the next time; there's an improvement continuum.... Serial killers... are obsessed with a fantasy, and they have what we must call nonfulfilled experiences that become part of the fantasy and push them on toward the next killing.

OBS

serial killer: Term coined by former FBI detective Robert Ressler.

DEF

... a class or category of instructional plans which all teach by the same method or style of instruction. Examples of tutorial strategies include expository, case-method, exploratory, or Socratic question and answer.

CONT

The tutorial strategy of a teaching program is that part of it which decides what to do next. It may range from simply following a sequence of actions which have been pre-specified by the author or the teaching program, as in linear programming, to executing a complex decision procedure which attempts to take into account a student model and the course objectives.

CONT

Motivational responses may include encouragement, congratulations, challenges, and other statements with affective or perlocutionary content. ... the current tutoring strategy specifies which of these feedback and follow-up responses will be generated.

CONT

The resultant analysis is used to select between three types of tutorial strategies: correction, confirmation and coaching.

CONT

The Western notion of getting right to the point is next to impossible in Japanese. Yes, you can learn the words for "What do you think of my widgets, "but you cannot force your Japanese contacts to reply in a straightforward manner.... In other words, learn Japanese and learn the gentle art of non-speak, so essential to doing business in Japan.(Financial Times, 25 May 1985, in Vocable no 22, 4 Jul. 1985, p. 8.).

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

In the knowledge base, domain specific knowledge is expressed as a set of condition-action pairs referred to as production rules that specify the action to be carried out if the prerequisite conditions are true.

CONT

[Instructional Tutoring Systems] have a central objective of communicating some knowledge through computer facilities which may employ domain-specific expertise, error analysis, and user modelling.

CONT

First, to introduce neophyte users to the system, it must operate as an intelligent tutor, controlling a structured interaction with the user as defined in a domain-specific knowledge base.

OBS

The distinction between domain-specific knowledge and meta-knowledge is not always clear cut.... meta-knowledge is often treated as control knowledge about what to do next, and this type of knowledge is often very domain specific.... In general, making distinctions between domain-specific knowledge and meta-knowledge does not contribute much to the design of the system; rather, it tends to distract.

What level of understanding can we hope to successfully make computers reach in the next ten years? The answer is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum : making sense-cognitive understanding-complete empathy. A computer which understands at the level of cognitive understanding will be able to do some of the following things : learn or change as result of its experience, relate present experiences to past experiences intelligently, formulate new information for itself, explain itself-say why it made the connections it did, and what thought process was involved in reaching a conclusion.
