Learning and development in neural networks: The importance of starting small
- Cognition
, 1993
"... It is a striking fact that in humans the greatest learnmg occurs precisely at that point in time- childhood- when the most dramatic maturational changes also occur. This report describes possible synergistic interactions between maturational change and the ability to learn a complex domain (language ..."

Increasing Returns and Economic Geography
- Journal of Political Economy
, 1991
"... This paper develops a simple model that shows how a country can endogenously become differentiated into an industrialized "core" and an agricultural "periphery. " In order to realize scale economies while minimizing transport costs, manufacturing firms tend to locate in the regio ..."

theory. On the face of it, this neglect is surprising. The facts of economic geography are surely among the most striking features of real-world economies, at least to laymen. For example, one of the most remarkable things about the United States is that in a generally sparsely populated country, much
The Small-World Phenomenon: An Algorithmic Perspective
- in Proceedings of the 32nd ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing
, 2000
"... Long a matter of folklore, the “small-world phenomenon ” — the principle that we are all linked by short chains of acquaintances — was inaugurated as an area of experimental study in the social sciences through the pioneering work of Stanley Milgram in the 1960’s. This work was among the first to m ..."

to explain the striking algorithmic component of Milgram’s original findings: that individuals using local information are collectively very effective at actually constructing short paths between two points in a social network. Although recently proposed network models are rich in short paths, we prove
A-morphous morphology
, 1992
"... In the early years of the development of a theory of generative grammar (roughly 1955 through the early 1970s), a striking difference between the research problems that characterized the emerging field and those that had occupied its predecessors was the precipitous decline of the study of morpholog ..."

Efficient algorithms for processing XPath queries
- In VLDB
, 2002
"... Our experimental analysis of several popular XPath processors reveals a striking fact: Query evaluation in each of the systems requires time exponential in the size of queries in the worst case. We show that XPath can be processed much more efficiently, and propose main-memory algorithms for this pr ..."

The Evolution of Conformist Transmission and the Emergence of between-Group Differences. Evolution and Human Behavior 19
- American Economic Review. Hirshleifer, J
, 1998
"... Unlike other animal species, much of the variation among human groups is cultural: genetically similar people living in similar environments exhibit strikingly different patterns of behavior because they have different, culturally acquired beliefs and values. Such cultural transmission is based on c ..."

The collapse of purchasing power parities during the 1970s
- European Economic Review
, 1981
"... One of the striking facts concerning the relationship between prices and exchange rates during the 1970's has been the dismal performance of the predictions of the simple versions of the purchasing power parity doctrine (PPP). That doctrine in its 'absolute version ' states that the e ..."
