Spawn of Crazy Frog

October 2005
Doctor Dobbs Journal 30(10):75-77

Authors:

A lot of ringtones coming in the market are making people annoy. Crazy Frog, an annoying ringtone, has earned 14-million pounds for Jamba, its publisher and making it the most commercially successful ringtone ever. The WolframTones meet the individualization requirements brilliantly, because the tone patterns are essentially unique. The whole billion-dollar ringtone edifice might fall if creative minds focused on the vibrating option rather than the sound option.

Creativity, Childhood

January 2003

Charlotte Doyle

An article in preparation for a magazine for parents plans to ask in its title, “Oh no. Where did all the creativity go?” (Hoyt, in preparation). Young children seem full of curiosity, spontaneity, imagination, and expressiveness. But during the school years these qualities seem to decline, according to the article. Psychological researchers who study creativity also have pointed to a decline. ... [Show full abstract] Although there is no single, generally agreed-on measure of creativity in children, investigators from different traditions using different ways of measuring creativity seem to agree that during the school years, creativity scores tend to fall. This entry explores this apparent drop in creativity first by looking at definitions of creativity and attempts to measure it in children. Next, the issue is examined in developmental and cultural context. Finally, descriptions of the phases of the creative process provide a basis for suggesting strategies to promote creativity in school children.

Alternation Bias and the Parameterization of Cumulative Prospect Theory

January 2007 · SSRN Electronic Journal

Kim Kaivanto

Two recently published studies argue that conventional parameterizations of cumulative prospect theory (CPT) fail to resolve the St. Petersburg Paradox. Yet as a descriptive theory CPT is not intended to account for the local representativeness effect, which is known to induce 'alternation bias' on binary iid sequences such as those generated by coin tossing in St. Petersburg gambles. Once ... [Show full abstract] alternation bias is controlled for, conventional parameterizations of CPT yield finite certainty equivalents for the St. Petersburg gamble, negating the suggested need for reparameterization. Moreover, the associated willingness to pay estimates fall within the generally accepted empirical range. --

Creating and Becoming

January 1981

Michael M Krausz

In his article, “Creative Product and Creative Process in science and Art,” Larry Briskman argues that any theory of creativity must hold creative products as logically prior to creative processes. His general idea is that one cannot identify what a creative process is unless one begins with its results. The argumentative burden, then, falls on answering the question, what is a creative product?

Mind, Brain, and Text: Immanent Thinking in Worstward Ho

January 2017 · Samuel Beckett Today / Aujourd hui

Mark Byron

Worstward Ho interrogates what it means for a text to imagine itself in the process of its own creation. Its rising and falling patterns of creation and decreation with respect to narrative, character, semantics, and syntax demonstrate a kind of immanent thinking as the text modulates between being and non-being. Worstward Ho manifests intensive creativity in its methods of allusion across and ... [Show full abstract] beyond Beckett’s oeuvre. These literary deformations bear morphological similarities with the gyri and sulci, the ridges and grooves in the human cortex that provide the human brain with significantly enhanced neural connectivity and processing power.

Explaining de se phenomena

February 2012

Christopher Peacocke

Whenever there are phenomena distinctive of a given concept, a good theory of that concept should explain those phenomena. This general point applies when the phenomena are those of immunity to error through misidentification, and the concept is the first-person concept I. The general point implies that there must exist an explanation of these immunity phenomena, an explanation that draws on a ... [Show full abstract] theory of the first-person concept. My aim here is to offer such an explanation; and to consider some rivals to the proposed explanation. Any such explanation has to employ a characterization of the notion of a concept, and it has to employ a characterization of immunity to error through misidentification. I will be taking it that a concept is individuated by its fundamental reference rule. The fundamental reference rule for a concept states what makes something the reference of, or makes something fall within the extension of, the concept. Examples of such fundamental reference rules are: What makes something fall within the extension of the observational concept oval is that it is the same shape that a thing is represented as being in a perceptual experience of an object as oval. What makes a time the reference of the concept now in a given event of thinking is that it is the time at which that thinking occurs. What makes something the reference of a particular perceptual demonstrative that F, where the perceptual demonstrative is individuated by a particular manner M in which something is given in a thinker's percept, is that it is the F that is perceived in that manner M in that percept.

Schwerpunkt: Familie in der Adoleszenz – Individuation – Generativität – Geschlecht

April 2013

Vera King

Familienbeziehungen bilden eine wesentliche Ausgangsbasis adoleszenter Entwicklungen. Innerhalb der Familie erlangen die adoleszenten Veränderungen maßgebliche Bedeutungen, insofern beispielsweise die sozialen, psychischen und sexuell-körperlichen Veränderungen neue Anforderungen, Entwicklungspotenziale und Grenzlinien im Verhältnis zwischen Eltern und Kindern markieren. In modernisierten ... [Show full abstract] Gesellschaften macht die innerfamiliale Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Neukonstellationen — anders als in traditionalen Gesellschaften, in denen solche intergenerationellen Veränderungen teils institutionell und über Konventionen reguliert sowie vielfach rituell bewältigt werden — in verstärktem Maße auf psychischer und interaktioneller Ebene differenzierte Prozesse der Umgestaltungen, Abgrenzungen und Neukonstruktion der primären Bindungen notwendig. Die familialen Beziehungen in modernisierten Gesellschaften sind daher, wie in Teil II. für die Generationenbeziehungen der Adoleszenz allgemein ausgeführt wurde, durch neue Erfordernisse und Formen von Generativität und Individuation und damit verbundene, veränderte Anforderungen an die Neukonstruktion familialer Bindungen gekennzeichnet. Gegenstand dieser Neukonstruktionen sind — parallel, alternierend und im günstigen Fall sich wechselseitig anstoßendnicht nur die Wandlungen der primären Bindungen, sondern auch die teils probeweise und spielerische, teils mit großer Schmerzlichkeit und Ernsthaftigkeit verbundene Suche und Erprobung neuer Bindungen.

May 2014

Tobias Schmohl

Der Vortrag setzt sich mit der aktuellen handlungstheoretischen Kreativitätsforschung im An-schluss an den amerikanischen Pragmatismus auseinander, in der Kreativität im Sinne eines situativen Problemlösens als konstitutives Moment jedes Handelns angesehen wird: Jede Situation enthält […] einen Horizont von Möglichkeiten, der in der Krise des Handelns neu erschlossen werden muß. Es werden ... [Show full abstract] Hypothesen aufgestellt: Vermutungen über neue Brücken zwischen Handlungsimpulsen und Situationsgegebenheiten. Im Gegensatz dazu modelliert die rhetorische Tradition kreatives Handeln aufgrund einer Un-terscheidung in zwei grundsätzliche Handlungstypen: (1) Handeln in Routinesituationen, d.h. Situationen, für die ein strategisches Handlungs-repertoire zur Verfügung steht (das in der Regel in den Arbeitsstadien der intellectio und der inventio entworfen bzw. auf den spezifischen Fall ‚zugeschnitten‘ wurde) und (2) Handeln unter hohen Kontingenzbedingungen, d.h. Situationen, in denen 'Handlungs-routinen an der Widerständigkeit der Welt abprallen' und der vorab strategisch festge-legte Handlungsplan aufgrund nicht-intendierter Widerstände adaptiert werden muss, um kommunikative Handlungsmacht zurückzugewinnen oder zu sichern. Zur Lösung solcher Situationen ist eine spontane Anpassung der Strategie noch im Prozess des Handelns notwendig. Ziel des Vortrags ist es, spontane situative Adaptationen des ursprünglichen Handlungsplans im Sinne des zweiten Handlungstyps unter Rückgriff auf eine pragmatische Handlungstheo-rie und die moderne Rhetoriktheorie Tübinger Prägung als eine kreative Leistung in einem integrativen Sinn zu modellieren, so dass beide Theoriestränge konzeptionell miteinander ver-bunden werden. Situatives rhetorisches Problemlösungshandeln wird dann als eine aktiv an den auftretenden Kontingenzen ausgerichtete kreative Leistung beschrieben, mit der auf situa-tive Widerstandsfaktoren reagiert wird.

Conceptions and questions concerning morphological processing

July 2004 · Brain and Language

The understanding of the nature and extent of morphological processing is critical to the overall investigation of how words are organized in the mind. In this overview article, we discuss the nature of morphological processing and the domain of morphological processing research. We claim that investigations crucially involve the understanding of relations among morphologically simple and ... [Show full abstract] morphologically complex words, and sketch how specific questions of morphological processing within the 2004 special issue on the mental lexicon fall under these categories. Finally, we discuss issues of construct, content and ecological validity within the field and what morphological processing can reveal about the association of form and meaning in the mind.
