Understanding the origin and analysis of sediment-charcoal records with a simulation model
Henry James, American Social Change, and Literary Revision
This article argues that Henry James’s central concern in The American Scene was to find a way to write about a country in which democracy was effacing individuality, manners and forms. Reading The American Scene alongside James’s lecture ‘The Question of our Speech’, and comparing James’s conception of social change with his theories on literary revision in his Prefaces to the New York edition, the author argues that James reconciled himself to …
Information, Knowledge and Learning
Philosophers of education have always been interested in epistemological issues. In their efforts to help inform educational theory and practice they have dealt extensively with concepts like knowledge, teaching, learning, thinking, understanding, belief, justification, theory, the disciplines, rationality and the like. Their inquiries have addressed issues about what kinds of knowledge are most important and worthwhile, and how knowledge and inf…

A multi‐dimensional scaling exploration of ten year olds’ food combination rules
This exploratory investigation concerned the non‐random ways in which foods are served together in meals. The names of 40 common foods were arranged in pairs and presented randomly in sets of 39 pairs (per form) to each of 650 ten‐year‐olds. The children were asked to indicate “how well the foods in each pair would go together to form a nice meal,” using a three point scale. They also described the foods on sixteen adjectival scales. Multidimensi…
Australian ten year olds' perceptions of food
Two studies of senior primary school children's food perceptions are reported. In the first 481 boys and girls judged twelve foods on eleven food properties (attributes). Few differences between the sexes’ perceptions were found. The boys and girls appeared to view the foods along two cognitive dimensions. The first was a food belief continuum contrasting “fattening” and “healthy” foods; the second was a sensory preference continuum. In the secon…
Australian ten year olds' perceptions of foods
Two studies were carried out into the relationships between paternal social status and ten year olds’ perceptions of food. The first examined 420 children's views of fourteen foods on eleven food properties. The influence of paternal social status was minimal. The second study, of 580 children, examined their views of 40 foods over 16 attributes. A randomized sample of foods was presented to each child on two forms. The results showed major diffe…
