  2. Scientific control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_control

    A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable (i.e. confounding variables). [1] This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements.

  3. Tacit knowledge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_knowledge

    Unlike the transfer of explicit knowledge, the transfer of tacit knowledge requires close interaction and the buildup of shared understanding and trust among them. Main methods for the acquisition and accumulation: Explicit knowledge can be generated through logical deduction and acquired through practical experience in the relevant context. In ...

  4. Knowledge transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_transfer

    Knowledge transfer icon from The Noun Project. Knowledge transfer refers to transferring an awareness of facts or practical skills from one entity to another. [1] The particular profile of transfer processes activated for a given situation depends on (a) the type of knowledge to be transferred and how it is represented (the source and recipient relationship with this knowledge) and (b) the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law

    Goodhart's law is an adage often stated as, "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure". [1] It is named after British economist Charles Goodhart, who is credited with expressing the core idea of the adage in a 1975 article on monetary policy in the United Kingdom: [2]

  6. Treatment and control groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treatment_and_control_groups

    A clinical control group can be a placebo arm or it can involve an old method used to address a clinical outcome when testing a new idea. For example in a study released by the British Medical Journal, in 1995 studying the effects of strict blood pressure control versus more relaxed blood pressure control in diabetic patients, the clinical control group was the diabetic patients that did not ...

  7. Robust control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robust_control

    The control laws may be represented by high order transfer functions required to simultaneously accomplish desired disturbance rejection performance with the robust closed-loop operation. High-gain feedback is the principle that allows simplified models of operational amplifiers and emitter-degenerated bipolar transistors to be used in a ...

  8. Transfer-appropriate processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer-appropriate...

    Transfer-appropriate processing (TAP) is a type of state-dependent memory specifically showing that memory performance is not only determined by the depth of processing (where associating meaning with information strengthens the memory; see levels-of-processing effect), but by the relationship between how information is initially encoded and how it is later retrieved.

  9. Reproducibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducibility

    Reproducibility, closely related to replicability and repeatability, is a major principle underpinning the scientific method.For the findings of a study to be reproducible means that results obtained by an experiment or an observational study or in a statistical analysis of a data set should be achieved again with a high degree of reliability when the study is replicated.
