How do infants individuate and track objects, and among them objects belonging to their species, when they can only rely on information about the properties of those objects? The Hypothesis, which posits that infants possess information about their co specifics and use it to identify and count objects.

Since stories are ubiquitous in social contexts people relate experiences to each other through stories and stories are used to structure meaning from experience, people tell themselves stories, narrative analysis can be used widely.
This is Hypothesis Identification approach. Thus, this research method is useful in developing new hypothesis to explain shared or different perspectives and to explain how these perspectives evolved over time. For example, this approach may be suitable to support research that examines the unconscious aspects of organizational life, culture, leadership, power and conflict. In today’s changing world the issues that are central to organizational life such as managing change in a complex environment need to be understood from a dynamic perspective. Narrative analysis lends itself to the research of organizational phenomena of this nature.
Organizations as systems have become a favored way for academics and practitioners to understand organization dynamics. A systems perspective lends itself to a qualitative method of research, and to be understood holistically requires that the researcher investigate the human dynamics that the goal of “formulating problems more precisely, clarifying concepts, gathering explanations, gaining insight, eliminating impractical ideas, forming hypotheses impact, as well as the process, systems and feedback loops” (Web 1).
Hypothesis Identification therefore allows the researcher to draw upon a far greater range of issues in either testing or explaining a hypothesis or organizational problem...........
