Object Recognition and Context
According to Robinson-Riegler and Robinson-Riegler (2008), object recognition is defined as "the process whereby we match an incoming stimulus with stored representations for the purpose of identification" (pg. 161). Thus, object recognition is really composed of two steps -- identifying and classifying. Because of this, context is of the utmost importance. Robinson-Reigler and Robinson-Riegler (2008) note that we rarely ever see things the same way. Although we may be able to recognize that a chair is a chair whether it is a throne in a royal palace or an electric chair on death row, the context certainly affects the way a person categorizes and labels the objects he or she sees. For instance, an electric chair may fit into the category with other weapons or methods of execution, while a thrown could quite easily be placed in a category with more positive connotations. Simply stating that a throne and an electric chair are chairs would be too broad and would not give them the significance that is attached to their meaning.
Thus, in differentiating between items like electric chairs and thrones, context is rather important. This is not only for reasons of significance, but because when an electric chair or throne is recognized, the fact that it is a chair is not the predominate feature of either or these objects. While a person asked to identify them with a series of multiple choice answers would answer "chair" rather than "boat" or "car," a person asked to identify them without such answers would surely not give the bland designation, "chair" to either of these important objects. Furthermore, if either of these objects were out of context -- such as an electric chair in a throne room ore a throne on death row -- one may, indeed, have trouble identifying them, certainly as what they are but perhaps even as "chairs."

Because there is a surplus of people who want to be in academic positions today, it is very easy for an academic institution to hire someone who will not be given tenure. These people can be paid a lower wage than someone with tenure, because they will not be standing on the same legal ground if they are let go at a later date (Dilts, Samavati, & Rahnama-Moghadam, 2007,
In taking the approach that improvement in these areas can be achieved by establishing some form of post-tenure review, institutions are sending the signal that the blame for school-wide failures falls upon the teachers. A failure on the part of the institution to take this responsibility and the eroding of its confidence in its teachers promotes a deeply unhealthy context for academic freedom or creativity. This is to say that
Specifically, the Association warns against limits and dangers to academic freedom that could result from post-tenure reviews, and essentially suggests a bevy of alternative options for imposing sanctions and other disciplinary actions rather than resorting to post-tenure review, and that a proper review process can be identified by its lack of intrusion into areas best covered by other processes contractual agreements. It is not surprising that they conclude post-tenure
Japan On January 29th, 2016, the Japanese government instituted a negative interest rate for the first time in history. The stated objective of this policy is to "encourage banks to lend, business to invest and savers to spend," but the policy has come under heavy criticism. It is, ultimately, a high-risk policy that essentially takes Japan into uncharted waters (Reuters, 2016). To suggest that this policy is unorthodox is an understatement,
" (Zemsky, 1) Null Hypothesis The null hypothesis of the research endeavor is that online professors will report no perceptible connection between post-tenure review and job performance. Alternate Hypothesis The alternate hypothesis of the research endeavor is that online professors will report that post-tenure review improves job performance. Nature of the Study Significance of the Study The significance of the proposed research is based in the need for greater study of online instruction in higher education with
This wide array of data strands could then be manipulated to measure the veracity of the philosophical claims informing our qualitative argument.
