CONTRERAS, Juan Ángel; MASA, Juan Arias; GONZALEZ, Ricardo Luengo  and  GARCIA, Luis Manuel Casas. Nuclearity Indexes (Full and Reduced), as a contribution to the Theory of Nuclear Concepts. RISTI [online]. 2015, n.spe4, pp.16-34. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.e4.16-34.

In this paper a new way of measuring the degree of importance of the concepts referred to in the theory of Nuclear Concepts are introduced. This new theory uses Pathfinder Associative Networks to establish cognitive networks of concepts that can be observed and quantified the relationship of each of the concepts with respect to the all other concepts; they are being considered as nuclear concepts, only those concepts that having three or more links. This allows to discriminate which are the fundamental concepts of all the concepts discussed. As input to build this network a triangular matrix will also be used to create these new index and they will call Full Nuclearity index and Reduced Nuclearity index.

Keywords : Nuclarity Index; Pathfinder Associative Networks; Theory of the “Nuclear Concepts".
