| Idealization - Psychology Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Idealization: idealization is a simplification of theories for the purpose of generalization. A) Before starting an investigation in physics, e.g. the assumption of a mass point, i.e. a practical impossibility, which, however, simplifies the calculation and delivers correct results. B) Subsequently, for example, the smoothing of the course of a curve of measured values. See also Theories, measurements. _____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
