description | Scientists rely more and more upon computerized data mining and artificial intelligence to analyze data sets and identify association rules, which serve as the basis of evolving theories. This tendency is likely to expand, and computerized intelligence is likely to take a leading role in scientific theorizing. While the ever-advancing technology could be of great benefit, scientists with expertise in many research fields do not necessarily understand thoroughly enough the various assumptions, which underlie different data mining methods and which pose significant limitations on the association rules that could be identified in the first place. There seems to be a need for a comprehensive framework, which should present the various possible technological aids in the context of our neurocognitive process of theorizing and identifying association rules. Such a framework can be hopefully used to understand, identify, and overcome the limitations of the currently fragmented processes of technology-based theorizing and the formation of association rules in any research field. In order to meet this end, we divide theorizing into underlying neurocognitive components, describe their current technological expansions and limitations, and offer a possible comprehensive computational framework for each such component and their combination. |
