2. Simulation theory - The theory-theory says that we have a theory that postulates various entities and these are related to each other and behaviour in roughly law-like ways. When we want to explain or predict a person’s thought, behaviour, or action, we do this by applying this theory, because it is a fundamental attempt to address any psychological concerns. We simulate others by using our imagination and empathy to determine what it would be like to be that person . More specifically, we generate imaginary states, which should correspond to the mental states of other people; these are then fed into our own decision-making systems to see what transpires . Example, if John believes that snow is white a simulation of this will become:
➢ Simulate John: Ready? ‘Snow is white’.
This example does not

Gordon calls this kind of reasoning hypothetical-practical .
• Theory-Theory suggest that FP is theoretical, propositional, or Knowing That.
• Simulation suggests that FP is based on skill, ability, capacity, etc., or the Knowing How.
Simulation theory is supported by research on autism. Autistic people are unable to ‘mind- read’ or attribute mental states to others, and this causes great difficulties with predicting behaviour and navigating the social world . According to theory-theory, autistic people lack propositional knowledge this is why they cannot mind read. FP is a theory and Autistic people unfortunately did not learn it like the rest of us, because they lack the ability to empathise and to put themselves into other people’s shoes or pretend play . This lends support to the simulation theory, because we know independently that autistic people tend to lack empathy and imaginative capacity. On the other hand, they do not seem to have many problems with theorizing. Indeed many autistic people are quite skilled with technical and theoretical things
Throughout the weeks our team has recognized the effects and methods to managing the system development within our bookstore. It’s true that the bookstore has endured growing pains of ways to better secure their information as well as the sensitive information of their customers. Our team has analyzed better ways to conduct our business as well as the processing methods that will be improved to meet our needs. By examining our business process we had to identify the functions that were causing problems or raising cost, rising risks or basically wasting time.
This veteran is in stage 1 of treatment. He reported that he has received in patient treatment for his mental health concerns (10-15 times) and for addiction (about 30). The veteran had been hospitalized for addiction and mental health concerns within the past year: being asked to leave the substance abuse treatment facility for getting drunk and telling the staff off. He reported that his longest time clean was six years (2004-2010) and since then he will refrain for drinking for a period of six months to a year.
For example this quote means there is a man named Rainsford. He has found his way onto an island and found a man that is trying to hunt him, in the process he set traps to try to kill this man that is hunting him, the man that is trying to hunt Rainsford has hunted all the animals so he wanted a challenge. Over the course of these stories, they are simulators because both of the characters feel trapped like they are stuck in a place they cannot get out of. BR2 Mr. Lily, and Rainford are scared, they feel trapped, and stuck in a similar situation. “The Yellow Wallpaper”“You think you have mastered it, but just as you get well underway in the following, it turns a back-somersault and there you are.
Two assumptions bring the issue of explanation to the fore. One of these pertains to the range and the other to the type of event that the theories are adduced to account for. The merits of the theory theory and the simulation theory are usually discussed in relation to the practice of the prediction of intentional behavior. The reasonable assumption, (assumption A), is that the mechanism that is deployed in prediction will be the same one that is deployed in the explanation, the description and the interpretation of our own and others’ behavior. The second assumption, (assumption B), is that the two theories offer competing accounts of the same sort of event. The theory theory and the simulation theory, in proposing alternative views of the mechanism underlying our folk psychological practices of prediction, explanation, etc., agree on what these practices consist in.
This is a great way to explain the probability of us being a simulation. It is agreeing with my thesis thoroughly. With the chance that we might be a computer generated civilization and not even know it. This does not disprove my thesis about our own world being a simulation. We as a civilization could be 50 years or 1,000 years away from making an advanced simulated world.
Simulacra and Simulations: Disneyland by Jean Baudrillard is an essay about what is real and what isn’t, and if certain things can become real. Simulacra is a latin word meaning a copy, or a representation of something else. Baudrillard’s main argument is that these copies can turn into their own reality. Baudrillard gives the example of someone who’s pretending to be ill, and someone who is simulating to be ill. He writes, “Someone who feigns an illness can simply go to bed and pretend he is ill.
Due to the growing power and influence of the media, what people think is “real” is actually just a representation, but they cannot separate or distinguish the two. This failure to separate reality from imitation is an important aspect to simulacra. It makes it more powerful than a simple representation. Simulacra become the reality. Dr. Dino Felluga, of Purdue University, talks about the
The outcomes of the simulation are not determined by chance or luck. Instead, participants experience consequences that follow from their own actions.
He also gives an example of this when he describes mental illness, how if someone acts crazy they must be crazy. Therefore, mentally ill people are simulators. Mentally ill individuals are simulating their own reality and are unable to distinguish between reality and
There are several diverse things to take into contemplation when you are purchasing a new washing machine at lowest price. For instance, is there a specific brand you like, how much space do you have to pile it and what features do you anticipate it to have. One of the principal things to mull over is the size of the washing machine you desire. Some individuals don't have much of a choice in this as they are restricted for space and thus have to have a small one. However, if you don't have to take space into contemplation, then it is prudent to brood over how much washing you will be doing.
However, to simply define and discuss Baudrillard’s notion of simulation and hyperreality doesn’t succeed in the task of analysis. In order to successfully analyse this specific element of Baudrillard’s many theories, it is necessary to look at the strengths and the weaknesses of the case that he presents.
We were four in our group and we were given a scenario of a patient who was having an anaphylactic reaction from bee sting venom. The group agreed that I will be the primary nurse. As the primary nurse, I knew that I had to lead and supervised our group in responding to the emergency situation at hand. Having played the role of a primary nurse in this simulation, I have gained meaningful experience, which I can use in my future nursing practice.
2. OBSERVE - Throughout the Rope course today you could hear the cognitive complexity, hear how some people expected to fall or not get as far as they did. When we were doing ships everybody was thinking of ways to get people back to where they originally were, kept of different ways to do it without stepping off. As we continue the course I realize how much more cognitive complexity plays in my life an example would be when I would play soccer, as a goalie you have to be able to picture yourself going out to get the goal or wait for them to make a shot. I had to make different scenarios of how a shot would be taken or if
Social simulation applies computational methods to study issues in the social sciences, such as sociology, political science, economics, anthropology, geography, archeology and linguistics (Takahashi et al., 2007). There are a number of benefits in assessing social impacts by simulation, including: (1) a robust tool to support governments, industries and communities to prepare and plan for the future, manage risks and harness opportunities (Greiner et al., 2014); (2) allows the creation of artificial societies, systems where basic social structures and group behaviors emerge from the interaction between individual agents, in artificial environments, based on limited information and computational ability (Zimbres and Oliviera, 2009); (3) allows the study of the effect of different combinations of social, technical and natural characteristics of systems at various time scales (Raptis et al., 2013); (4) can be utilized to predict the effect of a variety of social factors on the emergence and evolution of social norms (Chen et al., 2012); (5) models can identify the complexity through modeling the interaction of autonomous factors and deducing the rules for such a systems (Galland et al., 2014); (6) methods can effectively analyze the non-linear qualities of dynamic human interaction among the individuals in a community (Dabbaghian et al., 2010); (7) are effectively a simplification of the real world (Harvey et al., 2011); and (8) social impacts represent a learning strategy
Here's a hard pill to swallow and a philosophy I have that took me a long time to accept. I don't think most ever get to this point, so I would like to share.
