The OHRC does not indicate that current or past position is a discriminable ground. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Blockhead is a creature that looks just like a human being, but that is controlled by a “game-of-life look-up tree,” i.e. by a tree that contains a programmed response for every discriminable input at each stage in the creature's life. ❋ Oppy, Graham (2008)
For each minimally discriminable point within the perceiver's perceptual field (where these are identified relative to an origin and axes centered in the perceiver's body) we need to start by specifying whether it is occupied by a surface and, if so, what the orientation, solidity, hue, brightness and saturation of that surface are. ❋ Bermúdez, José (2008)
When considering the kind of cognitive resources required for representing and acquiring these concepts and actions, the sacred and the profane may be less discriminable than is commonly assumed... ❋ Tusar N Mohapatra (2005)
To separate the cognizing subject from its object, to attend to one discriminable element apart from its surrounding, and the like, are all condemned as falsifications of reality. ❋ JULIUS WEINBERG (1968)
In the discrimination box (Figures 14 and 15, p. 92) the two electric-boxes which were otherwise exactly alike in appearance were rendered discriminable for the mouse by the presence of white cardboards in one and black cardboards in the other. ❋ Robert M. Yerkes (1916)
As it has already been proved that they readily learn to choose the right box under discriminable conditions, it seems reasonable to conclude either that they lack green-blue vision, or that they have it in a relatively undeveloped state. ❋ Robert M. Yerkes (1916)
I chose to work with three values, 5, 20, and 80 hefners, and I was able to discover with a fair degree of accuracy how much less than 5, 20, or 80 hefners, as the case might be, the variable light had to be in order that it should be discriminable from the other. ❋ Robert M. Yerkes (1916)
This is the most important of all the combinations in view of the results already described, for these colors represent the extremes of the visible spectrum, and might therefore be discriminable, even though those which are nearer together in the spectral series were not. ❋ Robert M. Yerkes (1916)
If these in turn proved to be discriminable, No. 10 could be used with No. 14, with No. 13, and so on until either the limit of discrimination or that of the series had been reached. ❋ Robert M. Yerkes (1916)
Having given No. 51 more than two hundred preliminary tests in the Weber's law apparatus with the electric-boxes sufficiently different in brightness to enable her to discriminate readily, I began my experiments by trying to ascertain how much less the value of the illumination of one electric-box must be in order that it should be discriminable from a value of 20 hefners in the other electric - box. ❋ Robert M. Yerkes (1916)
If the conditions at the entrances of the two boxes were discriminable, the mouse usually learned within one hundred experiences to choose the right box without much hesitation. ❋ Robert M. Yerkes (1916)
Since the actual values of the two intervals here are throughout of extreme sign -- one always greater, the other always less -- only errors which lie in a single direction are discriminable. ❋ Various (1889)
Only one, that characterized by secondary accentuation, has no such discriminable quality of phases. ❋ Various (1889)
The number of discriminable elements which enter each phase depends on the whole constitution of the group, for this duality of aspect is carried onward from its point of origin in the primary rhythm group throughout the most complex combination of elements, in which the accented phase may comprise an indefinitely great number of simple elements, thus: ❋ Various (1889)
Special attention was given to make the materials tactually discriminable and visually appealing to the target population, yet appropriate for all students regardless of visual acuity. ❋ Unknown (2008)
“concepts are not things that are there crystallised in a splendid isolation”; rather they are discriminable features, but not detachable atoms, of what is integrally said or integrally thought. ❋ Tanney, Julia (2007)
