Replication data for: Implicit Microfoundations for Macroeconomics [dataset] (2008)

Ian Wright

A large market economy has a huge number of degrees of freedom with weak microlevel coordination. The ‘implicit microfoundations’ approach considers this property of micro-level interactions to...

The Society of Mind Requires an Economy of Mind 1 (2007)

Ian Wright

A society of mind will require an economy of mind, that is multi-agent systems that meet a requirement for the adaptive allocation and reallocation of scarce resources will need to employ a...

To appear (with commentaries) in Philosophy Psychiatry and Psychology Towards a Design-Based Analysis of Emotional Episodes (2007)

Ian Wright, Aaron Sloman, Luc Beaudoin

The design-based approach is a methodology for investigating mechanisms capable of generating mental phenomena, whether introspectively or externally observed, and whether they occur in humans, other...

Validity of the HSE stress tool: an investigation within four organizations by the Corporate Health and Performance Group (2005)

Main, Chris, Glozier, Nicholas, Wright, Ian

Aim To examine the validity and accuracy of the HSE Management Standards Stress Tool. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to employees of the occupational health and human...

Critical Thinking in the Schools: Why Doesn't Much Happen? (2002)

Ian Wright

The teaching of critical thinking in public schooling is a central aim. Yet, despite its widespread acceptance in curriculum documents, critical thinking is rarely taught. Motivated by Onosko (1991),...

The Society of Mind Requires an Economy of Mind (1997)

Ian Wright

A society of mind will require an economy of mind, that is multi-agent systems (MAS) that meet a requirement for the adaptive allocation and reallocation of scarce resources will need to use a...

Fleet Concentration in an ITQ Fishery: A Case Study of the Southwest Nova Scotia Mobile Gear Fleet (1996)

Wright, Ian, Apostle, Richard, Mazany, Leigh, McCay, Bonnie J.

"In this paper, we examine what has happened to the mobile gear, or inshore groundfish dragger, fleet in Southwest Nova Scotia after the introduction of individual quotas in 1991. Our main objective...

Design Requirements for a Computational Libidinal Economy (1996)

Ian Wright

Design requirements for a computational libidinal economy are presented that constitute a preliminary theory of basic types of motivation and learning. The theory avoids many of the difficulties of...

Ian Wright, Aaron Sloman, Luc Beaudoin

The design-based approach is a methodology for investigating mechanisms capable of generating mental phenomena, whether introspectively or externally observed, and whether they occur in humans, other...

MINDER1: An implementation of a protoemotional agent architecture (1996)

Ian Wright, Aaron Sloman

An implementation of an autonomous resource-bound agent able to operate in a simulated dynamic and complex domain is described. The agent, called MINDER1, is a partial realisation of an architecture...

Reinforcement Learning and Animat Emotions (1996)

Ian Wright

Emotional states, such as happiness or sadness, pose particular problems for information processing theories of mind. Hedonic components of states, unlike cognitive components, lack representational...

Basalt and Sediment Geochemistry and Magma Petrogenesis in a Transect from Oceanic Island Arc to Rifted Continental Margin Arc: the Kermadec--Hikurangi Margin, SW Pacific (1996)

GAMBLE, JOHN, WOODHEAD, JON, WRIGHT, IAN, SMITH, IAN

Sediment mixing and recycling through a subduction zone can be detected in lead isotopes and trace elements from basalts and sediments from the Kermadec-Hikurangi Margin volcanic arc system and their...

The Architectural Basis for Grief (1995)

Ian Wright, Aaron Sloman

The design-based approach is a methodology for investigating possible mechanisms that underlie mental phenomena, and, more generally, intelligent capabilities, whether introspectively or externally...

An Emotional Agent - The Detection and Control of Emergent Stats in Autonomous Resource-Bounded Agents (1994)

Ian Wright

In dynamic and unpredictable domains, such as the real world, agents are continually faced with new requirements and constraints on the quality and types of solutions they produce. Any agent design...

Computational Modelling of Motive-Management Processes (1994)

Aaron Sloman, Luc Beaudoin, Ian Wright, Tim Read, Edmund Shing, ...

A major task for cognitive science is to design architectures for intelligent agents capable of accounting for the diverse phenomena studied by psychologists and encountered in ordinary life. The...

Effect of process variables on wastage in fluidized bed combustors: criteria for test procedures (1993)

Stringer, John, Macadam, Stuart, Wright, Ian, Sethi, Vijay

Wastage of in-bed components in bubbling fluidized-bed combustors (FBC) has been a continuing problem. In response to this, there have been a number of attempts recently to develop testing techniques...

A conjecture on the distribution of firm profit

Ian Wright

A common assumption of political economy is that profit rates across firms or sectors tend to uniformity, and often models are formulated in which this tendency is assumed to have been realised. But...
