Showing results for "Knowledge" in Psychology

Critical thinking is regularly cited as an essential 21st century skill, the key to success in school and work. Given our propensity to believe fake news, draw incorrect conclusions, and make decisions based on emotion rather than reason, it might even be said that critical thinking is vital to the survival of a democratic society. But what, exactly, is critical thinking? Haber describes the term's origins in such disciplines as philosophy, psychology, and science.

Fifty years ago, neuroscientists thought that a mature brain was fixed like a fly in amber, unable to change. Today, we know that our brains and nervous systems change throughout our lifetimes. This concept of neuroplasticity has captured the imagination of a public eager for self-improvement - and has inspired countless Internet entrepreneurs who peddle dubious "brain training" games and apps. In this book, Moheb Costandi offers a concise and engaging overview of neuroplasticity for the general listener.

In this book the philosopher Jonathan Westphal examines the mind-body problem in detail, laying out the reasoning behind the solutions that have been offered in the past and presenting his own proposal. The sharp focus on the mind-body problem, a problem that is not about the self or consciousness or the soul or anything other than the mind and the body, helps clarify both problem and solutions. Westphal outlines the history of the mind-body problem, beginning with Descartes.

From science and technology to business and education, curiosity is often taken for granted as an unquestioned good. And yet, few people can define curiosity. Curiosity Studies marshals scholars from more than a dozen fields not only to define curiosity but also to grapple with its ethics as well as its role in technological advancement and global citizenship. While intriguing research on curiosity has occurred in numerous disciplines for decades, no rigorously cross - disciplinary study has existed - until now.

Children are born full of curiosity, eager to participate in the world. They learn as they live, with enthusiasm and joy. Then we send them to school. We stop them from playing and actively exploring their interests, telling them it's more important to sit still and listen. The result is that...

Cognitive psychology - the science of how we acquire, process, store, and use information - is essential to understanding the human experience. Yet, cognition is such an automatic part of our daily functioning that we rarely take time to think about how it works or how we might improve it. In 12 illuminating audio lectures, Carleton College professor Kathleen Marie Galotti will take you on a tour of higher-order cognitive processes such as problem-solving, creativity, reasoning, and decision making - in other words, how we put information to use.

É inegável que nosso intelecto, nossa mente científica, tem proporcionado grandes conquistas. Ao mesmo tempo, porém, é alarmante o crescente número de diagnósticos dos vários transtornos mentais—ansiedade, depressão, etc.—entre outros males que não só atingem o indivíduo, mas também a coletividade. Teria nosso lema moderno, "querer é poder", perdido sua eficácia?

Identidade e subjetividade são conceitos amplos, com implicações ainda mais extensas sobre a vida concreta - sobretudo num momento em que tais conceitos são questionados ou reelaborados sob lentes políticas e ideológicas. O curso parte destas ideias para tratar, com base na teoria psicanalítica, como se dá essa elaboração de uma "narrativa de si" e como ela afeta, para bem e mal, nossas relações com o mundo e os outros. O que é o desejo e como ele se constitui? De que formas esse eu se fortalece ou enfraquece? Essas e outras provocações serão abordadas ao longo deste curso.

O período da infância e adolescência são cenário de elementos, afetos e transformações que definem e influenciam a formação da subjetividade deste ser em elaboração. Para além disso, há todo o processo de socialização e educação que também exercerá pressão sobre gostos, inclinações, expectativas - seja daqueles ao redor sobre a criança ou adolescente, seja dele sobre si mesmo.
