procedures, but also relishes the opportunities available for invention. Becoming an adaptive expert is a big next step for me to take to be able to develop a growth mindset. A growth mindset is believing there is always room for growth, and that your intelligence is similar to just a hand you’re dealt; meaning it can improve. Sometimes even now I display the fixed mindset through my grades. I am trying to get out of the habit of always having to prove myself through these. Also, when I don’t do…

It’s undeniable that new technology has brought some wonderful innovations to our lives. Whether it be bringing the joys of life back to disabled people such as Stephen Hawking, or allowing us to order pizzas with the click of a mouse. It has also completely revolutionized the way we learn. We no longer write a paper. We type a paper. What was once the job of a plethora of books is now the job of one search engine. With this new technology, the world is at our fingertips. But, is this change…

and lack of knowledge is in this town. Psychologists Miron Zuckerman and Jordan Silberman from the University of Rochester and Judith Hall from Northeastern University created a study to see if religion had any effect on intelligence levels. They found that religion and intelligence did not go hand in hand, in 53 out of 63 studies. Zukerman, Silberman, and Hall said, “Intelligent people are less likely to conform and, thus, are more likely to resist religious dogma. Second, intelligent people…

Learning, what is it? Is it only, how it is defined, as the “acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, study, or by being taught?” Is education something we can only obtain through our school system? Education actually begins when we are born; a voyage that has commenced, as we experience new things we develop and learn spiritually and intellectually. Socrates questioned what no man had before, rather than writing books he passed on his knowledge orally. Socrates pursued wisdom in…

ensure that we never had another Abu Ghraib case, what would you do? Well, training is important. If it is partly because of social roles, that is tough, because in the military you are assigned with the role of warrior. Cognitive dissonance is a factor, so teaching compassion? But that wouldn’t necessarily be beneficial if you are a soldier. You are taught to eradicate all compassion towards the enemy, because how would you kill if you felt compassion? In our culture we are, we are taught to…

Being able to know thyself in a way of understanding what makes you uniquely your own person has many benefits. I would not be surprised if most individuals have fathomed about how they are different or similar to others. Through these comparisons and distinctions, there are sixteen known personality types according to the Jung Typology Test. The personality types are based on Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs Myers’ personality type theory. Further, the questionnaire-based test is said to discover…

1) Describe one mnemonic device and give an example of how it might be used. The method of Loci is when you use images to help recall information from memory. This method uses location and landmarks to be able to recall certain things. For example I use this when needing to remember where certain things are. I visualize a house and if I need to remember where my keys are, I remember everything that I may touch on my daily routine. So I imagine my house and each room and the locations that I…

Why do students remember everything that is on television and forget what is taught in lecture? Students’ skills are best improved through practice, but before practice, observation is a key component to learning. For example, even if the students are given the steps on how to perform the return demonstration, they want to see the actual procedure to be more confident that they can accomplish it on their own. Students can use visual media as a way to retain concepts and ideas. Technology plays…

Intellectual theory is based on cognition and learning. The way in which a person learns directly affects his or her development process, and educational/career path. (Capuzzi & Stauffer, 2012). It's important for a counselor to recognize that there is no one-size-fits all approach to learning, and that each student may achieve certain levels of cognition differently. Felder & Brent (2005) note that different backgrounds, strengths, ambitions, and levels of motivation all contribute to different…
