Abstract

A concept development is the first part of the theory development. Concepts are linked together and form hierarchical, compositional, functional and heterogenous concept systems. In illustrating concept systems, diagrams, tables and figures are used. Concept systems are maps to help nurses, teachers and managers in examining the interests of nursing science in detail, to understand more profound way, and to produce still more new aspects for the interest.

An exemplar-based random walk model of speeded classification.

The authors propose and test an exemplar-based random walk model for predicting response times in tasks of speeded, multidimensional perceptual classification. The model combines elements of R. M. Nosofsky's (1986) generalized context model of categorization and G. D. Logan's (1988) instance-based model of automaticity. In the model, exemplars race among one another to be retrieved from memory, with rates determined by their similarity to test items. The retrieved exemplars provide incremental information that enters into a random walk process for making classification decisions. The model predicts correctly effects of within- and between-categories similarity, individual-object familiarity, and extended practice on classification response times. It also builds bridges between the domains of categorization and automaticity.
