	Connectionist Content - Eric Lormand
		These theories are opposed, naturally, to "coarse-grained" theories according to which representations have the same content if they have the same reference condition (the theory that contents are reference conditions is, of course, one such theory).
		Well, on the coarse-grained theory of content presented in section 2.1.1, it means that f has (at least nearly) the same reference conditions as the English sentence "A top-half-of-a-circle-shaped figure is being visually presented in word-initial position".
		Since simple propositions may serve as contents of connectionist nodes, and since such representations seem to be required by research programs which show some promise of yielding true theories of at least some cognitive phenomena, good methodology dictates that we should believe in simple propositions, if we want a fine-grained theory of content at all.

		Fodor’s theory of content allows the operation of intentional mechanisms to effect asymmetric dependencies, and thus is clearly not a behaviorist theory.
		We should doubt, therefore, that the content of ‘water’ can be fixed in an atomistic fashion by a brute disposition: as behaviorists fail in their attempt to reduce to stimulus-response generalizations the mental states that affect linguistic responses, Fodor cannot ignore Oscar’s intentional states in favor of Oscar’s dispositions to token.
		For Fodor’s theory to yield the correct extension assignment, Fodor must somehow specify that the subject is not in any of the mental states that might cause her to token ‘horse’ in response to something other than a horse.

	20th WCP: Identity Conditions for Indicator State Types within Dretske's Theory of Psychological Content Naturalization
		Even though, as triggering cause, the content of a particular psychological state is explanatorily irrelevant, still it was what the indicator state indicated about external conditions in the past that played a role in the restructuring of an organism's nervous system, such that this (current) token of that psychological state type produces this particular movement.
		Consider how severely limited possible learned content would be under this assumption: the sensed input (or, at least that part of the sensed input that constitutes the indicator state) would have to be identical in order for the same (neuro/)physical state to emerge from one exposure to the next.
		So much is undeniable and not in itself a drawback of the theory of content according to which content is relative to the causal-historical contexts of the agent.

	A Theory of Personality Change
		Such theory can formulate what needs to be changed, and later it can also formulate what has changed, and into what it has changed; but it will remain theoretically unexplained how such change is possible, so long as all our explanations are in terms of concepts of this or that defined content.
		The content seems now to be "objectloss" or "passive-dependent needs." Whatever it is, the response needed must provide contact: I grasp her hand; or I talk gently, saying something, pertinent or not-something from me to maintain contact and not to talk away the fear of being lost.
		Content mutation occurs strikingly with so-called "psychotic contents." The monsters, weird fears, infinite hungers, and doom-expectant terrors are so often aspects of isolation, loss of self and interaction.

	NCSALL: The Theory Behind Content-Based Instruction
		In such instruction, the emphasis is upon developing the general processes, and the content that is used is generally treated as of only incidental interest.
		For instance, in one curriculum, concepts from the behavioral sciences were used to create a competency-based, individualized, self-paced series of modules on the use of tables of content, indexes, the body of manuals, procedural directions, and filling out forms.
		Adults who want job training and are at the beginning levels of reading can learn and practice decoding skills during a part of the study period; during the rest of the period they can learn job vocabulary and concepts by listening to audio tapes, by "hands-on" experiences with job tools, demonstrations, conversations, and illustrated books.

	HOP over FOR, HOT theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The basic contrast is between theories that claim that the higher-order states in question are themselves perceptual or quasi-perceptual, on the one hand, and those that claim that they are conceptualized thoughts, on the other.
		But HOP theory, too, admits of a pair of sub-varieties, one of which turns out to be, at the same time, a (dispositionalist) form of HOT theory.
		Unless the proponents of such theories choose to respond by denying the data, or by insisting that even blindsight and sensorimotor percepts are actually phenomenally conscious ones, then there is really only one viable option remaining.

	Fodor on Narrow Content and Asymetric Dependency
		Since the identity of narrow content is fixed externally, on the basis of what broad content a given state would have in a particular context (for which the narrow content is defined), Fodor needs to say in virtue of what that state has the broad content it does in that very context.
		The theory assigns broad content to a symbol-and-mechanism pair on the basis of the counterfactual behavior of that pair, i.e.
		So if their contents were disjunctive, a broad content psychology would capture them; but since their broad contents are different, their behaving similarly will be missed by a broad content theory that assigns non-disjunctive contents to them.

		In an ideal world, Web content management would be at the core of an E-business infrastructure, coordinating the assembly, publication, and expiration of content across all business systems.
		Each system or department would generate the type of content core to its function, such as graphics, text, pricing data, logos, ad copy, and legal disclaimers, without worrying about how it will be combined with content from other systems into a Web page, product catalog, or promotion.
		The Web content-management system should be able to manage the content from these systems, assemble it based on the needs of the content recipient, and publish the information in the required format.

	The Development of the Universe Theory - Associated Content
		The theory on the structure of the universe underwent a series of evolutions starting with the Greek astronomer Ptolemy who suggested that the universe was made up of concentric spheres made up of crystalline that spun around the Earth center.
		Copernicus was not really a scientist, but he was a great observer, and he found Ptolemy’s explanations troubling, as he noticed that this theory would have some planets moving backwards.
		Kepler used mathematics to support his theories and ideas on the movement of heavenly bodies, and the structure that kept the universe together.

	Form and Content in Ethical Theory
		In the latter case we distinguish between the implications of the content of a belief and the implications of the state of having a belief with that content.
		This mistake is a consequence of the failure to bear in mind that distinction between what is implied by an intention-content and what is implied by the state of having an intention with that content.
		This argument clearly presupposes, for its validity, the principle that it is reasonable to do whatever is implied by the content of an intention we happen to have.
