Summary: We propose a framework for studying bottom-up restructuring heuristics for binary search trees. We identify the key role played by depth-reducing rules in obtaining logarithmic amortized cost per access. We show that splaying is by no means the only heuristic that offers logarithmic amortized cost.

Science, 2007
We were shocked by the Random Sample “born to shop?” (7 September, p. 1301). Such a study hardly deserves the notice of a premier science journal. The Random Sample summarizes a “study” of sex-based differences in the ability of modern city dwellers to remember the locations of ...

Explanation and explanation by hypothesis
Synthese, 1976In this paper I locate and discuss a number of problems involved in a proposal to revise very considerably what may fairly be called the received account of Freud as scientist manqu?. My purpose is in no way exegetical or antiquarian. It is because of the attention currently (and properly) paid to him by certain philosophers that I choose Freud as a ...

In this article we criticize two recent articles that examinethe relation between explanation and unification. Halonen and Hintikka (1999), on the one hand,claim that no unification is explanation. Schurz (1999), on the other hand, claims that all explanationis unification. We give counterexamples to both claims.

[Explanation] Is Explanation Better
Philosophy of Science, 1997Robert Wilson (1994) maintains that many interesting and fundamental aspects of psychology are non-individualistic because large chunks of psychology depend upon organisms being deeply embedded in some environment. I disagree and present one version of narrow content that allows enough reference to the environment to meet any wide challenge.

Explanation in Physics: Explanation
Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement, 1990In what sense do the sciences explain? Or do they merely describe what is going on without answering why-questions at all. But cannot description at an appropriate ‘level’ provide all that we can reasonably ask of an explanation? Well, what do we mean by explanation anyway?

Minds and Machines, 1998
I argue that explanation should be thought of as the phenomenological mark of the operation of a particular kind of cognitive system, the theory-formation system. The theory-formation system operates most clearly in children and scientists but is also part of our everyday cognition. The system is devoted to uncovering the underlying causal structure of

Is There an Explanation for … the Diversity of Explanations in Biological Studies?
2015The multiplicity of explanations in the biological sciences has already been amply discussed by philosophers of science. The field of Evo-Devo has been a focus of much attention, with the obvious coexistence and competition of evolutionary and developmental explanations.

Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement, 1990During the war, I worked in aircraft design. About a year after D-day, an exhibition was arranged at Farnborough of the mass of German equipment that had been captured, including the doodlebug and the V2 rocket. I and a friend spent a fascinating two days wandering round the exhibits. The questions that kept arising were ‘Why did they make it like that?
