The metaphoric origins of objectivity, subjectivity, and consciousness in the direct perception of reality.Stanley A. Mulaik - 1995 - Philosophy of Science 62 (2):283-303.details This paper utilizes the theories of metaphor of George Lakoff, Mark Johnson and Julian Jaynes to extend Jaynes' metaphor theory of consciousness by treating consciousness as an operator that works with 'covert behavior' so that humans can integrate temporally discontinuous percepts with concepts based on metaphoric extensions of the embodied schemas of direct and immediate perception and thereby transcend the limitations of direct perception. A theory of first-person expressions and covert behavior to account for self-conscious awareness as language-based is advanced. (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
Accommodation, prediction and replication: model selection in scale construction.Clayton Peterson - 2019 - Synthese 196 (10):4329-4350.details In psychology, measurement instruments are constructed from scales, which are obtained on the grounds of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Looking at the literature, one can find various recommendations regarding how these techniques should be used during the scale construction process. Some authors suggest to use exploratory factor analysis on the entire data set while others advice to perform an internal cross-validation by randomly splitting the data set in two and then either perform exploratory factor analysis on both parts or (...)

Exploratory Factor Analysis and Theory Generation in Psychology.Clayton Peterson - 2017 - Review of Philosophy and Psychology 8 (3):519-540.details Exploratory factor analysis is a statistical method widely used in quantitative psychology for the construction of scales and measurement instruments. It aims to reduce the complexity of a data set and explain the common and unique variance using latent variables. In introductory textbooks, exploratory factor analysis is generally presented in contrast to confirmatory factor analysis as a theory- or a hypothesis-generating process that does not require prior background, theory or hypothesis to be performed. The aim of the present paper is (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
