Computer simulation

The strategy was explained as one that not only made the lesson real for the students, but also allowed them to become fully involved in their learning (Clapper, 2006). Role-play was the form of simulation addressed in the article. Students were encouraged to move and interact with their lesson in the form of a skit (Clapper, 2006). The students were either provided with a scenario to play out in a pre-determined amount of time, or the students created their own skit from the lesson (Clapper, 2006). The method was reported to enhance critical thinking by allowing the brain to process material on various levels (Clapper, 2006). The role-play and simulation strategy also helped students develop skills in expression of thought, feeling, self-evaluation, and empathy (Clapper, 2006). The role-play and simulation strategy was considered appropriate for application of art…

modern technology, humans have created alternative ways to test various responses to differing medical techniques, for example, “Computer models, tissue and cell cultures, and a number of other non-animal related research methods are used today”(Do “Alternatives” Exist?). These alternatives have been useful in many ways, however, they have their downfalls when it comes to the complexity of the how an organism would respond. Computer modeling has its place however its capacity to replace the use…

creation - the early versions of the ultimate in Star Trek holodeck simulations - is the name of the virtual reality game. Of course you already experience virtual reality 24/7/52. Anything and everything you experience is courtesy of your sensory apparatus, your memories, and your overall state of being as a conscious, self-aware being. If all reality is experienced solely within your mind then you already exist in a virtual reality 'world'. That's especially the case when you dream. That could…

Simulation Theory “There’s a one in billions chance we’re in base reality,” claims Elon Musk, product architect of Tesla Inc., founder of SpaceX, and more. In recent years, the simulation-argument has gained serious traction as we further advance technologically, and intellectually. However, not everyone is on board with the “simulation argument”—a term coined by Nick Bostrom (Philosophy Professor at Oxford University) when he published a journal stating: [A]t least one of the following…

This article talks about the many advancements for wilderness setting simulations like the SimMan to provide an effective tool for learning certain wilderness medicine skills that were not available before and provide the best available care for the patient who is injured and needs help. It also will help the person performing the type of medical help to make them feel more comfortable with difficult and challenging situations. As stated in the article it says that they will be able to properly…

Right now I’m going to talk about the first simulation I remember doing. I forget the name of the simulation, but what I don’t forget is what the simulation was about. First off, the simulation took place when I was in 4th grade (closer to the beginning of the year). We got to simulate leaving England and going to the United States of America. The class was separated into groups of four based on our tables. I was in a group with Isaac, Jared, and Alyssa. After we got in our groups roles had to…

In the article Superman to the Rescue: Simulating Physical Invulnerability Attenuates Exclusion-Related Interpersonal Biases (Ackerman, Bargh, & Huan, 2013) Julie Huan, Joshua Ackerman, and John Bargh set up a number of studies including a pre-test, study one, study two, and study three to demonstrate the relation between physical invulnerability simulation and positive or negative reactions to being excluded in social situations. They also consider how the reactions of exclusion can change when…

Something that I felt was very insightful was Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, which analysees how we experience reality through signs and symbols and that because we use signs and symbols so heavily, our experience in life can be viewed as a simulation of reality. [Baudrillard, 1981]. In the Oxford English Dictionary, simulation is defined as "the action or practice of simulating, with an intent to deceive." In comparison simulacrum is defined as "a material image, made as a…

The advantages of the use of simulation includes, among others, the reduction of expenditures shifts to the training camps increasingly restricted as well as the transit of troops on the ground, reducing the accident risks. It also provides the economy with the maintenance of logistics activity, the reduction of damage to the military use of material garrisons still in teaching-learning process and the increased time available with the material at hand for the conservation activity; and the…

tests, hardware emulation, test-beds and mathematical models. Software simulation, since, is usually a time effective and cost efficient method. Researchers around the globe are utilizing software simulation tools because it offers a controlled atmosphere within which any network model performance can be measured easily and efficiently. Nowadays, the popularity of the available network simulators and specifically that of Ad Hoc networks varies from one simulator to another. Besides, each…
