Computational evidence for the foundations of numerical competence
Developmental Science, 1998INFANT is a computational model of Simon's (1997) ‘non‐numerical’ account of the foundations of numerical competence. It operationalizes the memory, individuation, object permanence and spatiotemporal representation competencies of that account into a simulation of the Simon, Hespos & Rochat (1995) study.

Evidence and self-evidence in the foundations of logic [PDF]
, 2018 We relate the question of the correctness of proofs and of a possible foundation of a logical system to a general, computational, concept of a formal system as a mechanical procedure, in the sense of a Turing machine, for producing provable formulas (Gödel 1934/64).

Mathematical Foundations of Evidence Theory
1995Reasoning schemes in artificial intelligence (and elsewhere) use information and knowledge, but the inference my depend on assumptions which are uncertain. In this case arguments in favour of and against hypotheses can be derived. These arguments may be weighed by their likelihoods and thereby the credibility and plausibility of different possible ...

Soil-Foundation Compliance Evidence of the “Chiaravalle Viaduct”
2017This paper focuses on the contribution of the soil-foundation compliance on the measured dynamic response of the Chiaravalle viaduct subjected to ambient excitations. The viaduct, linking the SS76 with the airport of Ancona (in Central Italy), is 875 m long and is constituted by four kinematic chains separated by expansion joints. The r.c.

The Maritime Foundations of Andean Civilization: A Reconsideration of the Evidence
American Antiquity, 1981Moseley's contention that coastal Peruvian civilization was founded on a maritime subsistence economy is challenged, and the evidence that he used to substantiate his claim is re-examined. It is argued that: (1) the number of calories represented by the faunal remains in the late preceramic sites of the central coast is too few to have supported more ...

Is Ancestral Testimony Foundational Evidence For God's Existence?
Religious Studies, 1991It is Alvin Plantinga's contention that a belief in the existence of God constitutes a rationally justified ‘basic belief’ for which evidence is neither required nor desired. This defiant proposal to jettison any evidential requirements for justifying one's theistic belief has led to a great deal of discussion, with some theists welcoming the ...
