Attention

Observing a child is an admirable experience. It is amazing to see how differently children view certain situations compare from adults view. I recently observed three children. A one-year-old girl named Lily, and a three-year-old boy named Alan and a three-year-old girl named Gaby. The two little girls Lily and Gaby are sisters, which had a change in how they interacted with each other. This was a natural observation; the place was a classroom at a family daycare center. The room was decorated…

In the current world of art, it seems that inspiration and imitation are separated by only a thin line. Someone could present what they made based off inspiration, but critics can accuse it to be merely a copy of someone’s else work. These differences in perceptive seems to be a reoccurring argument that lasted the centuries. One of the most famous work that demonstrate this conflict is Plato’s Ion. This written dialogue between Greek philosopher Socrates and professional rhapsode Ion dives into…

not worked for would make children accept themselves even when they do not work hard or put forth their best effort. Because of this false self-esteem can be linked to boredom in the classroom or in an activity due to confidence, children getting attention for things that they do not deserve, and becoming…

I would rather read to myself, or volunteer myself to read. When people read out loud it distracts me and I don 't pay attention. Just like reading writing has never been my cup of tea either, and still this day it isn’t. I still find myself using inventive spelling hoping that the teacher knows what I am trying to say. I also always miss place punctuations, myself and commas…

From this article it said that children that watched Television that were under the age of two years old had no benefits from watching Television for the cognitive and language…

It is amazing how much effort actually goes into “paying attention”. Until reading this chapter and listening to the classroom lecture on attention controls, I never realized how daunting of a task focusing on the right thing at the right time could be. From getting ready for school in the morning to completing academic tasks throughout the day, there are so many opportunities for a child to become distracted or overloaded with information. Without having the proper attending skills to…

In my case it is more common with my oven. In-fact there has been many times that I went to class and wondered if I shut off my oven. This method was founded by Schneider and Shiffrin and done so with the process of dividing the attention of participants to deal with all of the target and test items simultaneously (Controlled and Automatic Processing, n.d.). This process was very worrisome and there was not much to overcome. Consequently, I had to turn around and check my oven to…
