Formulated constructs ought to be continuous with the events within the field of purported interest.<br />2. The ultimate validity of constructs is reducible to the extent of improvement in orientation to the field of interest they provide (i.e., enhanced prediction and influence).<br />3. Constructs ought not be confused with the crude events with which the scientist interacts.<br />4. Constructs are never attributed ontological validity as result of any operational successes, rather they are maintained as operationally valid. The extent of this validity<br />may be assessed according to the metric described in proposition two.<br />5. Divergence from the above will at best be superfluous and at worst will draw the investigator’s efforts in directions unfruitful to the advancement of a given field.<br /><br />This paper ought be of interest. http://www.ijpsy.com/volumen1/num2/23/some-notes-on-theoretical-constructs-types-EN.pdf<br />Rob Pursseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560485789693267962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-38666195432131844372015-03-29T00:13:54.399-07:002015-03-29T00:13:54.399-07:00@CogNeuroNews said: And check out the #CNS2015 blo...@CogNeuroNews said: And check out the #CNS2015 blog, which will be updated daily w/ posts, news coverage, etc. https://www.cogneurosociety.org/cns-2015-blog/The Neurocritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08010555869208208621noreply@blogger.com
