  • On the Definition of Learning

    University Press of Southern Denmark On the Definition of Learning

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisSince the turn of the century the phenomenon of learning has received increasingly more attention. Within the theoretical field, a variety of theories of learning have evolved. The field of research on learning has become very complex, with different foci, founders and proponents, schools, and disciplinary approaches. This book is a first publication in the On the definition of learning network. The network arose out of the aspiration to study the phenomenon of learning in depth and to understand its complex relationship to empirical investigation and teaching. Based on the assumption that it is important to be sensitive to the variety of concepts and theories of learning in the field, and to continue to cultivate that variety, the book takes a step towards actively and critically engaging the various approaches in the field of learning theory. At the same time it emphasizes the complex relationships that exist between conceptualizations of learning and the empirical phenomenon of learning and teaching. It discusses how conceptualizations of learning are put to work in educational contexts and how the normative aspects of learning in relation to discussions of what is considered worth learning influence the formative processes of human development.

    Book SynopsisConnecting is an homage to our creative forces. Each page is an illustrative example designed to enlighten, illuminate, challenge and provoke. You can start anywhere, dip in and out or read it end to end. We are happier when we are more creative but are we more creative when we are happy? The longstanding view in psychology is that positive emotions are conducive to creativity. When we are feeling up, we feel we are more resourceful, but what if we are measuring the wrong thing? New studies have shown it is not the type of emotions, but the intensity with which we experience them that is the real driver of our creativity. Nor is our emotional palette limited to "good" feelings. All of our emotions offer creative gifts provided we experience them with depth and understanding. How to cultivate your creativity to live a more emotionally rewarding life. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and psychology, Connecting will explore the paradoxical aspects of our emotional experiences that fuel our creativity. These ideas will come to life through a visually immersive experience that will connect you to your creativity and help you live a deeper, more meaningful life.

    Book SynopsisThis issue of Alif focuses on trauma and loss and their presence in collective and individual memory. The question of traumatic events has been recognized in psychology, psychoanalysis, and literature, but scholarly studies have mostly concentrated on traumas enacted in the West—World Wars and the Holocaust. Contributors to this volume attempt to extend the field of trauma and memory studies to include other parts of the world: Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, India, Ireland, Lebanon, Palestine, Pakistan, multi-ethnic America, and ancient Greece. The Lebanese civil war or the Peloponnesian war, the Nakba of 1948 or the Naksa of 1967: the articles and personal testimonies in this issue explore the impact of such tragic events on literary genre, films, fiction, folk culture, poetry, drama, and visual arts.

  • Cascades And Fields In Perceptual Psychophysics

    World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Cascades And Fields In Perceptual Psychophysics

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisPsychophysics is by definition mappings between events in the environment and levels of human sensory responses. In this text the methods of nonlinear dynamics, employing trajectories developed for simpler sensory modelling, are extended to classes of problems which lie at the interface between sensation and perception. A diversity of topics for which extensive empirical evidence exists are reformulated by writing their dynamics in terms of complex trajectories put into coupled lattices and into cascades of such lattices. Fundamental relationships between core processes of psychophysics in time and space, and recurrent quantitative or topological distortions of the physical world which arise in perception, are given a treatment which contrasts fundamentally with traditional linear equations in use since the 19th century.Table of ContentsFundamental assumptions of nonlinear psychophysics; nonlinear psycho-physics, response surface identification, and cross-entropy; properties of nonlinear dynamics underlying the generation of cascades and fields; unidimensional cascades and the case of perceived time estimation; phase space changes and cascaded noise in fields; more fields generated from lattices in (n x n)rk evolutions; other field and cascade representations - isosimilarities, instabilities and inductions; postscript - psychophysics or events in the real brain?

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThe phenomenon of consciousness has long been one of the great mysteries of life, perhaps because it is inexplicable in terms of the deterministic theories of classical science. Today there is some consensus that the key to the understanding of the workings of the mind should be sought in the area of indeterministic quantum mechanics, but until recently there has been little substantial progress in unravelling the mystery. This book is the culmination of several decades of research by the authors in the physical sciences, neurosciences and computer sciences, with comprehensive summaries and references to related work by many other scientists, and presents important advances toward solving the problem. Written for the most part in plain language but supported by appropriate symbolism, the book is truly interdisciplinary, designed for the needs of a wide variety of students and scholars.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThe experience of emotion is a ubiquitous component of the stream of consciousness; emotional qualia interact with other contents and processes of consciousness in complex ways. Recent research has supported the hypothesis that important functional aspects of emotion can operate outside the conscious awareness. Primary types of emotions are found in animals, while secondary, more complex types are involved in interpersonal relationships. Emotions both influence genetic repair mechanisms of individuals and are responsible for group behavior. Many scholars and scientists believe that no scientific or philosophic account of consciousness can be complete without an understanding of the role of emotion.Table of ContentsEmotion and consciousness - current research and controversies, A.W.

  • Employing Community-Based Experiential Learning

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis book positions itself at the intersection of the interrelationship between three key areas of initial teacher education: constructivist learning theories, teaching practicum, and the promotion of reflective practices. It presents an innovative approach to teacher preparation at undergraduate and postgraduate levels by critically examining the implementation of a mandatory experiential learning block across subject disciplines on undergraduate and postgraduate teacher preparation courses. This book presents multiple examples and case studies of these varied experiential learning projects that will inform academics, teachers and policymakers. Through these rich examples the authors set out to address the theory-practice dilemma in teacher education, where teachers-to-be are often positioned as ‘consumers’ of educational research in classrooms, read reference books and academic papers on teaching, and observe university and school experts before applying the same acquired theories and practices in their own classes. In the book the authors argue for a shift away from this conventional teacher-learning curriculum that is characterised by the separation of theory and practice, choosing instead to promote pedagogy and methods courses where practice underpins all learning. These pedagogical perspectives include the promotion of a diverse range of learning contexts (including on- and off-campus learning sites) for student teachers to experience during their time on teacher education courses.

    Book SynopsisThe shared platform of the articles collected in this volume is used to advocate a dynamical systems approach to cognition. It is argued that recent developments in cognitive science towards an account of embodiment, together with the general approach of complexity theory and dynamics, have a major impact on behavioral and cognitive science. The book points out that there are two domains that follow naturally from the stance of embodiment: first, coordination dynamics is an established empirical paradigm that is best able to aid the approach; second, the obvious goal-directedness of intelligent action (i.e., intentionality) is nicely addressed in the framework of the dynamical synergetic approach.Table of ContentsIntelligent Behavior - A Synergetic View (H Haken); Cognitive Coordination Dynamics (S Kelso); Grounded in the World: Developmental Origins of the Embodied Mind (Revised Reprint) (E Thelen); What is Coordinated in Bimanual Coordination?

  • Learning And Performance Matter

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisLearning and performing profoundly affect our results and actions. Yet getting the balance right is a challenge to individuals and organisations. While performing is about meeting the demands placed upon us, learning expands our capacity to meet future demands. Everyday successes and failures are shaped by the way we balance learning and performing. More than just actions, balance involves a set of values that are fundamental to the successful operation of organisations. These values are key dimensions around which organisational cultures form. Unfortunately, achieving balance is like a dance going wrong in organisations around the world: we have been following the same pattern for so long that we are now struggling to establish better ways of going about it.This intriguing book is a collection of essays from leading consultants, practitioners and scholars offering practical approaches, fresh insights and strategies to proposed solutions for sustained organisational growth and competitive advantage. The book explains the nature of the learning and performance “dance” and its importance to organisations today, and is an indispensable resource for managing the dilemmas and tensions faced by individuals and organisations.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Learning and Performance: Rethinking the Dance (P Ramsey); Learning's Place in Organizations: Short History of Learning (J S Brown & E S Gray); When Performance and Learning Are at Odds (S J Singer & A C Edmondson); The Work of KM Made Real (M Wheatley & M E Rogers); The Organizational Challenge: What Can Leaders Do?

    Book SynopsisThe neural computational approach to cognitive and psychological processes is relatively new. However, Neural Computation and Psychology Workshops (NCPW), first held 16 years ago, lie at the heart of this fast-moving discipline, thanks to its interdisciplinary nature — bringing together researchers from different disciplines such as artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, neurobiology, philosophy and psychology to discuss their work on models of cognitive processes.Once again, the Eleventh Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop (NCPW11), held in 2008 at the University of Oxford (England), reflects the interdisciplinary nature and wide range of backgrounds of this field. This volume is a collection of peer-reviewed contributions of most of the papers presented at NCPW11 by researchers from four continents and 15 countries.Table of ContentsHigh-level Cognition; Concepts; Language; Learning and Development; Embedded Cognition; Association Memory; Sensory Processing.

  • Discovering Cognitive Architecture By Selectively

    World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Discovering Cognitive Architecture By Selectively

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisOne of the most successful methods for discovering the way mental processes are organized is to observe the effects in experiments of selectively influencing the processes. Selective influence is crucial in techniques such as Sternberg's additive factor method for reaction times and Jacoby's process dissociation procedure for accuracy. The successful uses of selective influence have encouraged application extensions to complex architectures, to dependent variables such as evoked potentials, and to complex interpretations. But the common themes have become lost in the details of separate uses and specialized terminology. The book gives an introductory and unified account of the many uses of the technique in cognitive psychology. Related models from operations research and human factors are covered. The applications include dual tasks, visual and memory search, timing, categorization, and recall. The book takes a self-contained approach starting with clear explanations of the elementary notions and a building to advanced techniques. The book is written with graduate students in mind, but has content of interest to all researchers in cognitive science and cognitive engineering.Table of ContentsIntroduction to Techniques; Introduction to Structures; Selectively Influencing Processes in Task Networks; Theoretical Basis for Properties of Means and Interaction Contrasts; Application: Dual Tasks and Locus of Slack Analysis; Effects of Selective Influence on Reaction Time Cumulative Distribution Functions; Further Applications: Search, Timing, and Categorization; Controversies; Order of Processing Diagrams; Effects of Selective Influence on Accuracy, Rates, and Evoked Potentials; Dependence of Random Variables on External Factors; Using Information about Pairs of Processes to Construct a Larger Structure.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisRobots are becoming more human, but could they also become sentient and have human-like consciousness?What is consciousness, exactly?It is a fact that our thoughts and consciousness are based on the neural activity of the brain. It is also a fact that we do not perceive our brain activity as it really is — patterns of neural firings. Instead, we perceive our sensations and thoughts apparently as they are. What kind of condition would transform the neural activity into this kind of internal appearance? This is the basic problem of consciousness.The author proposes an explanation that also provides preconditions for true conscious cognition — the requirement of a direct perceptive system with inherent sub-symbolic and symbolic information processing. Associative neural information processing with distributed signal representations is introduced as a method that satisfies these requirements.Conscious robot cognition also calls for information integration and sensorimotor integration. This requirement is satisfied by the Haikonen Cognitive Architecture (HCA).This book demystifies both the enigmatic philosophical issues of consciousness and the practical engineering issues of conscious robots by presenting them in an easy-to-understand manner for the benefit of students, researchers, philosophers and engineers in the field.Table of ContentsThe Real Problem of Consciousness; Consciousness and Subjective Experience; Perception and Qualia; From Perception to Consciousness; Emotions and Consciousness; Inner Speech and Consciousness; Qualia and Machine Consciousness; Testing Consciousness; Artificial Conscious Cognition; Associative Information Processing; Neural Realization of Associative Processing; Designing a Cognitive Perception System; Examples of Perception/Response Feedback Loops; The Transition to Symbolic Processing; Information Integration with Multiple Modules; Emotional Significance of Percepts; The Outline of the Haikonen Cognitive Architecture (HCA); Mind Reading Applications; The Comparison of Some Cognitive Architectures; Example: An Experimental Robot with the HCA; Concluding Notes; Consciousness Explained.
