Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the behavior of researchers and their dedication to technological advancements. It centers on their tendency to persist in their research endeavors despite setbacks or a lack of immediate success. The author analyzes data from the field of cochlear implants to illustrate how researchers' commitment is influenced by various factors, including the legitimacy of the field, the size of the research community, and the accumulation of knowledge. The book explores the concept of undue persistence and its potential negative impact on researchers' careers and the organizations they work for. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the complexities of research persistence and its implications for the development and advancement of technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of cochlear implants, a surgical technology that provides hearing sensations to the profoundly deaf. The author focuses on the roles of researchers, government regulators, and other key players in shaping the trajectory of this technology. Through a detailed analysis of the field's emergence, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between scientific, social, and economic forces that influence technological innovation. The author argues that the development of cochlear implants was not simply a matter of scientific progress, but rather a contested process involving multiple stakeholders with diverse interests and perspectives. This book offers valuable insights into the social construction of technological realities and the broader implications of technological change for society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the factors that influence pioneering scientists in their choice and persistence in research. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of a survey conducted among researchers in the field of neural networks. By comparing the motivations and experiences of pioneers to those of their peers, the book explores how cognitive and social factors interact in the problem-solving process. The author argues that cognitive factors play a stronger role for pioneers, while social factors are more influential for non-pioneers. This distinction is particularly evident in academic institutions, where pioneers are more likely to be driven by intellectual curiosity and less influenced by external pressures. The book highlights the unique role of universities in fostering pioneering behavior and the importance of recognizing the different motivations that drive scientists within and outside academia. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the scientific community's complex relationship with institutional prestige. The author investigates the impact of a scientist's university standing on their career progression, particularly in pioneering new fields of research. Drawing on a survey of over 700 neural network scientists, the book analyzes the factors that influence scientists' career paths and the significance of institutional prestige in shaping their success. The author uncovers the challenges faced by scientists who take unconventional approaches, often working at lesser-known institutions, and sheds light on the dynamics that shape scientific innovation and discovery. This insightful study provides a valuable perspective on the interplay between individual talent, institutional support, and the advancement of scientific knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the interplay between social and cognitive processes during the development of a technology. The author introduces a socio-cognitive model of technology evolution and uses cochlear implants as a case study. The model suggests that beliefs about what is feasible shape the creation and evaluation of technological artifacts, which in turn influence future beliefs. Through historical analysis, the book demonstrates the reciprocal relationship between beliefs, artifacts, and evaluation routines. The author argues that this model reveals the paradoxical struggle researchers face in establishing new technologies. To achieve individual recognition, they develop their own realities, which then become self-reinforcing. However, this can hinder their ability to embrace shared realities that emerge later. The book concludes by highlighting how well this paradox is managed can profoundly impact the success or failure of a technology in its early stages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
