Let's break stereotypes!

Screw orthodox wisdom.

So it's a vector of 3 values.

You see, when you're a scientist, you're always selling ideas.

But yes there are some solutions.

And there are a number of ways to assess construct validity.

We'll have most people in the middle.

I can observe a person performing an intelligence test, but I can't just look at them and observe their intelligence.

I'll now introduce you to the concept of the Laplace Transform.

In psychology and social sciences, this is a, a major emphasis of research.

I was working to transform these internalized responses, to transform the preconceptions that had so shaped my identity when I started using a wheelchair, by creating unexpected images.

Now you might say, hey Sal, why are you even introducing this idea of a linear combination?

We just have that natural way of seeing.

It's an idea. Greatness.

We've certainly used logic all over the place in this class.

And the attraction, the forces, between the molecule and the protein cause the motion.

Then we haven't established that it is valid but now we are moving towards, we're able to see if we have valid construct.

We'll walk through that. That's how we get estimates of reliability.

So let's think about the inference.

Tell the truth!

So to demonstrate this, let's think about the construct, verbal ability, in children.

(Laughter)

Neither employed nor unemployed.

Because it's an ideal. It's an imaginary thing. We can't have it.

One, the numbers you'll never get to see.

1947, a sensation erupts in the world of couture. Skirts are longer.

I'm going to take this last topic for this unit to be estimating the clustering coefficient.

So, in psychology a classic example of this is intelligence.

Often it's language which doesn't land for you. It's conceptual language.

look at this example graph to ground out some of these concepts.

We use the notion of color.

What does it mean for an idea to sleep?

You have no time for projected ideas.

But anyway, I don't want to get too cute on this problem.

And I think that sometimes we develop grand concepts of what happiness might look like for us, but that, if we pay attention, we can see that there are little symbols of happiness in every breath that we take.

And this is our new baby, called tonkene.

In the biological sciences, they explored the implications of the notion that order and complexity and structure arise in a self organized way.

So I love this picture, there is so much in it.

Now, in case you didn't grow up in the States or missed it growing up,

'cause they can shoot around here too and then we all fucked.

I don't care about case.

These are very hard to control.

The monarchs of the old world didn't have a concept of DNA, but they did have a concept of birthright.

I can pay down the principal.

And suggest concepts to Fischer's conscious mind.
