Showing results for "Learning, Education" in Biological Sciences

One of the most complicated and advanced computers on Earth can't be purchased in any store. This astonishing device, responsible for storing and retrieving vast quantities of information that can be accessed at a moment's notice, is the human brain. How does such a dynamic and powerful machine make memories, learn a language, and remember how to drive a car? What habits can we adopt in order to learn more effectively throughout our lives? The answers to these questions are merely the tip of the iceberg in The Learning Brain.

All social groups have ideals for behavior, even though ethics vary among different cultures and among individuals within each culture. In trying to understand why, Churchland brings together an understanding of the influences of nature and nurture. She looks to evolution to elucidate how, from birth, our brains are configured to form bonds, to cooperate, and to care. Conscience delves into scientific studies, particularly the fascinating work on twins, to deepen our understanding of whether people have a predisposition to embrace specific ethical stands.

In accessible language and with periodic references to Star Trek, motorcycle daredevils, and near-classic movies of the '80s, developmental molecular biologist John Medina explores the neurological and evolutionary factors that drive teenage behavior and can affect both achievement and engagement. Then he proposes a research-supported counterattack: a bold redesign of educational practices and learning environments to deliberately develop teens' cognitive capacity to manage their emotions, plan, prioritize, and focus.

«El hombre no deja de jugar porque se vuelve viejo. Se vuelve viejo porque deja de jugar.» Bernard Shaw. Esta frase del dramaturgo irlandés ilustra muy bien hasta qué punto el juego es importante y vital para la existencia de cualquier persona y lo que permite que nuestro cerebro se mantenga joven, activo y, en definitiva, vivo.

Mit Mytting wird aus einem nostalgischen Gefühl eine Bewegung, eine sinnliche Erfahrung, eine Leidenschaft, die nicht nur den Praktiker im Wald, sondern auch den "Armchair Woodsman" zu Hause erfasst. Wussten Sie, dass der höchste Holzverbrauch aus Butan gemeldet wird – und nicht etwa aus Skandinavien oder Russland? Dass die Bäume für das beste Brennholz im Frühjahr gefällt werden? Dass es einen Unterschied macht, ob Holz "Borke oben" oder "Borke unten" gestapelt wird? Dass der Holzstapel Rückschlüsse auf den Charakter des Staplers zulässt? Aprikosenholz brennt anders als Mandelholz.

Sind es nur die Gene, die unser Wesen bestimmen? Welche Rolle spielen dabei Erfahrungen, Erlebnisse und das, was wir "Seele" nennen? Das Wechselspiel zwischen Erbanlagen und Lebensumständen beschäftigt die moderne Medizin bis heute. Joachim Bauer macht dieses Zusammenwirken von Geist und Genen erstmals populär verständlich - und setzt sich ein für einen bewussteren Umgang mit der menschlichen Seele.

Ob im Umgang mit Kindern, mit Kollegen und Mitarbeitern, mit alten Menschen und mit uns selbst: Wir sind es gewohnt, alles als Ressource anzusehen. Kein Wunder, dass 'Burn-Out' die Krankheit unserer Zeit ist, dass wir uns vor Krisen nicht retten können. Denn auch eine Gesellschaft kann kollektiv ihre Begeisterungsfähigkeit verlieren, dann dümpelt man in Routinen dahin, man funktioniert, aber man lebt nicht mehr.

Häufig wird von Hundetrainern die oberste Maxime vertreten, dass Hunde sich jedes Privileg erst von uns erarbeiten müssen - ohne Gegenleistung keine Aufmerksamkeit, keine Zuneigung, keine Belohnung. Auch im auf positiver Verstärkung basierten Clickertraining ist dies oft der Fall. Hier gibt es zwar keine Strafen - aber ist "Bindung durch Kontrolle" eigentlich wirklich fair dem Tier gegenüber? Oder ist sie überhaupt effektiv? Kann man gute Trainingstechnik und Empathie miteinander in Einklang bringen?

When Christmas comes for the four March girls, there is no money for expensive presents and they give away their Christmas breakfast to a poor family. But there are no happier girls in America than Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. They miss their father, of course, who is away at the Civil War, but they try hard to be good so that he will be proud of his ’little women’ when he comes home.
