Sociology: Content Theory (536 words) |
 | Content theory is not so much just one theory, but a group of theories that looks at the needs which motivate people. |
| Content theory does indeed go hand in hand with needs theory, in that contact theory stresses the analysis of the underlying human need. |
| In my opinion, the content theory is the general name of theories which the needs theory is included in. |
| Connectionist Content - Eric Lormand (13103 words) |
| These theories are opposed, naturally, to "coarse-grained" theories according to which representations have the same content if they have the same reference condition (the theory that contents are reference conditions is, of course, one such theory). |
| Well, on the coarse-grained theory of content presented in section 2.1.1, it means that f has (at least nearly) the same reference conditions as the English sentence "A top-half-of-a-circle-shaped figure is being visually presented in word-initial position". |
| Since simple propositions may serve as contents of connectionist nodes, and since such representations seem to be required by research programs which show some promise of yielding true theories of at least some cognitive phenomena, good methodology dictates that we should believe in simple propositions, if we want a fine-grained theory of content at all. |
