Econometric Views (EViews)

305
Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

Cognitivism

2.3K
Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
Previously dominated by behaviorism, which prioritized observable behaviors and largely ignored mental processes, psychology transformed in the 1950s. Cognitive psychologists argue that understanding how we think and process...

Schemas

12.1K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving

1.4K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.
To apply the principle of virtual work,...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

138
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Manipulation and Analysis01:21

Manipulation and Analysis

105
GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Planning
  • Computer Science History
  • Landscape Architecture

Background:

  • Early computer systems were developed for analyzing visual environments.
  • These systems were adopted by state-owned agencies in the US and UK.
  • The focus was on numerical calculations, bypassing field observations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To trace the development and expansion of early computer systems for landscape view analysis.
  • To examine the assumptions embedded in these systems over four decades (1968-2012).
  • To understand the role of abstraction and calculation in landscape production and planning control.

Main Methods:

  • Historical analysis of computer systems at three state-owned agencies.
  • Tracing technological evolution and incorporated assumptions from 1968 to 2012.
  • Examining the use of numerical calculations for analyzing visual environments and proximities.

Main Results:

  • Computer-generated view data became a key element in planning control.
  • These systems relied solely on numerical calculations, excluding field observations.
  • The influence of these systems extended beyond aesthetics to financial and political considerations.

Conclusions:

  • The abstraction and calculation in computer systems significantly shaped landscapes and the built environment.
  • Computer-generated view data played a crucial role in planning control for financial and political motives.
  • Understanding this history reveals the impact of technology on environmental planning and decision-making.
