Paperback. Condición: 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.
