  2. Adaptation (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(computer_science)

    Accordingly, the term adaptation decomposes into the two terms adaptivity and adaptability. Adaptivity indicates a system that adapts automatically to its users according to changing conditions, i.e. an adaptive system. Adaptability refers to users that can substantially customise the system through tailoring activities by themselves, i.e. an ...

  3. Adaptive behavior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_behavior

    Students with mental disabilities often exhibit behavior problems than students who do not have the similar disabilities. Some behaviors observed by students with mental disabilities are difficulty accepting criticism, limited self-control, and inappropriate behaviors. The greater the severity of the mental disabilities, generally the higher ...

  4. Adaptive learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_learning

    Adaptive learning, also known as adaptive teaching, is an educational method which uses computer algorithms as well as artificial intelligence to orchestrate the interaction with the learner and deliver customized resources and learning activities to address the unique needs of each learner. [1]

  5. Neural adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_adaptation

    Varying rates or speed of adaptation is an important indicator for tracking different rates of change in the environment or the organism itself. [ 3 ] Current research shows that although adaptation occurs at multiple stages of each sensory pathway, it is often stronger and more stimulus specific at "cortical" level rather than "subcortical ...

  6. Adaptability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptability

    In the life sciences the term adaptability is used variously. At one end of the spectrum, the ordinary meaning of the word suffices for understanding. At the other end, there is the term as introduced by Conrad, [3] referring to a particular information entropy measure of the biota of an ecosystem, or of any subsystem of the biota, such as a population of a single species, a single individual ...

  7. Complex adaptive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_adaptive_system

    A complex adaptive system is a system that is complex in that it is a dynamic network of interactions, but the behavior of the ensemble may not be predictable according to the behavior of the components.

  8. Adaptive capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_capacity

    Adaptive capacity confers resilience to perturbation, giving ecological and human social systems the ability to reconfigure themselves with minimum loss of function.In ecological systems, this resilience shows as net primary productivity and maintenance of biomass and biodiversity, and the stability of hydrological cycles.

  9. Teachable moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teachable_moment

    Hence, it is important to repeat important points whenever possible so that when a student's teachable moment occurs, s/he can benefit from the knowledge." [ 1 ] The concept pre-dates Havighurst's book, as does the use of the phrase, [ 2 ] but he is credited with popularizing it.
