Transfer of Mathematical Knowledge: The Portability of Generic Instantiations
2009
Child Development Perspectives
One approach to this challenge is to present the learner with a concrete instantiation of the to-be-learned concept. ...
Concrete instantiations communicate more information than their abstract, generic counterparts and, in doing so, they may facilitate initial learning. ...
Rather, we suggest that if they are used, measures need to be taken to help the learner extract the relevant structure from the learning context and recognize it in novel contexts. ...

Applying the value of equality unequally: Effects of value instantiations that vary in typicality
2009
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
This effect occurred when participants generated reasons for valuing equality in the instantiation (Experiment 1) and when participants merely read about hypothetical examples of the instantiation context ...
Results across experiments indicated that the effect of prior instantiations was not mediated by changes in the abstract value; instead, the process of applying the abstract value was crucial (Experiment ...

Abstraction and context in concept representation
2003
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences
Instantiation as the reverse of abstraction It is possible to argue that most context effects involve the instantiation of an abstract concept by reference to plausibility in the context. ...
There is a clear link here with Rosch and Mervis' notion of the Hampton: Abstraction and Context 20 basic level of concepts. ...

Pre-conceptual-schema-based patterns for deriving key performance indicators from strategic objectives
2017
Ingeniería e Investigación
Performance measurement is crucial for achieving business success. Moreover, such success is also related to the fulfillment of the organizational strategic objectives. ...
Hence, an adequate determination of relevant performance indicators—or key performance indicators (KPIs)—and their relationships to organizational objectives is needed. ...

LEARNING THEORY: The Advantage of Abstract Examples in Learning Math
2008
Science
Compared with concrete instantiations, generic instantiations present minimal extraneous information and hence represent mathematical concepts in a manner close to the abstract rules themselves. ...
Alternatively, the concept can be instantiated in a more abstract manner as the probability of choosing one of n things from a larger set of m things. ...

"Concreteness fading" promotes transfer of mathematical knowledge
2012
Learning and Instruction
Undergraduates were randomly assigned to learn a mathematical concept in one of three conditions: generic, in which the concept was instantiated using abstract symbols, concrete in which it was instantiated ...
However, concrete instantiations may benefit transfer in the long run, particularly if they are "faded" into more abstract instantiations. ...
For example, the fading condition in the present study first introduced the concept with representations that activated realworld knowledge (i.e., measuring cups). ...

Quantifying usability of domain-specific languages: An empirical study on software maintenance
2015
Journal of Systems and Software
A usability measurement framework was developed based on the Cognitive Dimensions of Notations (CDN). ...
It is expected that DSLs improve the maintainability of artifacts otherwise produced with general-purpose languages. ...
For example, the measure for the CD Abstraction is presented in contrast to the number of Elements to the number of Concepts. ...

Abstract or Concrete Examples in Learning Mathematics? A Replication and Elaboration of Kaminski, Sloutsky, and Heckler's Study
2011
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education
s findings, but the accompanying qualitative data raise serious questions about their interpretation of what students actually learned from the abstract concept exemplification. ...
Moreover, whereas Kaminski et al. showed that abstract learners transferred what they had learned to a similar abstract context, this study shows also that students who learned from concrete examples transferred ...
They doubt the "taken for granted" belief that well-chosen concrete contexts can facilitate students' understanding of an underlying abstract mathematical concept, because "instantiating an abstract concept ...

Specializing a Design Science Research Methodology for the Domains of is/IT Management and IT Project Management

European Conference on Information Systems
The methodology was synthesized based on the current state-of-the-art of DSR in the management discipline and is aimed at designing, instantiating, and evaluating management artefacts. ...
Furthermore, the phases of the research agenda can serve as a foundation for further research on how to reduce the level of abstraction of artefacts in a systematic way. ...

A framework for unifying ontology-based semantic similarity measures: A study in the biomedical domain
2014
Journal of Biomedical Informatics
By demonstrating that groups of measures are just particular instantiations of parameterized functions, we unify a large number of state-of-the-art semantic similarity measures through common expressions ...
The application of the proposed framework and its practical usefulness is underlined by an empirical analysis of hundreds of semantic measures in a biomedical context. ...
We can therefore conclude that relevancy of tuning a and b depends on the selected abstract measure from which the similarity measure will be instantiated. ...

The cost of concreteness: The effect of nonessential information on analogical transfer
2013
Journal of experimental psychology. Applied
The 5 reported experiments with undergraduate students tested the hypothesis by presenting participants with the concept of a commutative mathematical group of order 3. ...
The experiments varied the level of concreteness of the training instantiation and measured transfer of learning to a new instantiation. ...
For the purposes of this article, we are concerned not with the concreteness of concepts, but with the concreteness of instantiations of abstract concepts. ...

Constructs in the Mist: The Lost World of the IT Artifact
2009
International Conference on Information Systems
We propose a theory template that can be used to instantiate specific theories. We illustrate this template by examining how it can be used to instantiate existing theories and develop new theories. ...
In addressing this question, IS researchers frequently invoke psychological constructs at a high level of abstraction, in order to achieve theories that allow wide knowledge claims. ...
