The Atomic Theory of Matter

127.2K
The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance

In 1866, Gregor Mendel published the results of his pea plant breeding experiments, providing evidence for predictable patterns in the inheritance of physical characteristics. The significance of his findings was not immediately recognized. In fact, the existence of genes was unknown at the time. Mendel referred to hereditary units as “factors.”

Social Exchange Theory02:06

Social Exchange Theory

39.5K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Computational Biology
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Lewis Wolpert questioned our understanding of development 25 years ago.
  • He predicted that computational simulations could model developmental processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the sufficiency of computer simulations in explaining developmental biology.
  • To highlight the necessity of theoretical frameworks complementing in silico models.

Main Methods:

  • Review of data-driven simulations in developmental biology.
  • Case study using pattern formation in the vertebrate neural tube.

Main Results:

  • Computational simulations have partially realized predictions for modeling development.
  • In silico models are valuable tools but require theoretical principles for full explanation.

Conclusions:

  • Simulations are crucial but insufficient alone for a complete understanding of development.
  • Theoretical principles are essential to supplement computational models and explain developmental processes.
