Mind map

human thought. These tools, in any way, change the way we think. An example of intellectual technology is the map. Today, we barely think on the map as a technology since it is so encrusted and essential in our lives. However, before its invention in pre-history, we perceived purely according to our sensory perception, that was the limit of our thinking about space. With advances of the map, we represent the physical space in the abstract. This brought a number of practical benefits, we could…

metacognitive journey. A week before we had started the class, we were asked to think about what we thought was development and bring in a picture that visualized our thought processes. After that first day, we then went on to create various mind maps. Mind maps forced us to visualize and condense their thinking into a simple to navigate and read image. Through discussions and class activities, our knowledge about development has grown, altered and adapted to match the new knowledge we’ve…

Two philosophers Andy Clark and David Chalmers made a statement in their essay by saying , “the mind is something more: a system made up of the brain plus parts of its environment” (Zimmer, 2009, p.1). Which means our mind are affected by things that are in our environment. If we look at it in terms of technology, we use technology to store information that we need. He also gave an example of how this work…

affect reality, or vice versa, would be lost. For to understand advertisements as it pertains to our reality necessitates we understand how the former can relate to the latter. Otherwise, we would have an understanding of advertisements as an abstract mind experiment, something to be considered separate from the world in which it finds itself. For Baudrillard, reality as it exists in the physical world is dead, not capable of being known. What we are left with is a reality as depicted by…

naturalism, and humanitarian reform are also considered modern intellectual developments that paved the way for psychology as a system of ideas (King et al., 2009). Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) produced the first map of the mind which became to be known as phrenology. This was the first attempt to map brain functions, although modern brain imaging technology has debunked his theories as being inaccurate and overly simplified. Naturalism asserts that all phenomenon are understandable by a set of…

“Finding Mythic” 58).Carl Jung introduced this literary criticism. Carl Jung believed that all individuals share an “ collective unconscious”(Golden).This meant that there is a common thought between all humans that lies below a person's unconscious mind. Mythological critics view literary works in the broader context of work sharing a similar pattern. Archetypes are a symbol that occurs often enough in literature to be recognizable as an element of a person's literary experience as a whole.…

Every day, Squire would ask Eugene to draw a map of the house, and every day, Eugene could not even draw a rough sketch. However, Eugene was able to stand up, walk to the restroom, and return to his seat without assistance. How could a man who was not able to draw a map of his house be able to find the restroom? Similarly, E.P. could not verbally state his route in which he would walk, but every morning he…

reach of the eye - a beautiful rendition, a beautiful mind and many more. When a friend of mine asked me in half jest over coffee, “ Congrats on your 100 blog renditions on LinkedIn, what is the most beautiful tool that helped you express yourself better?” My instinctive answer that raced through my thoughts – the keyboard of my MacBook Air. As I thought of it, it is not as bewildering as it initially sounds. Thoughts got bottled up in my mind.…

Jump. His only thought and his only path. He had thought about it for hours and he knew what was the best path, after all, the little voice in his head had told him so. Craig and his voice usually agreed on such decisions, and jumping off the Brooklyn bridge was just as easy a decision as the rest. Craig, the main character of It’s Kind of a Funny Story, a book focusing on his mental illness, has his inner voice, the voice of a soldier, which recurs throughout the book multiple times encouraging…

Empire? Divided like continents on a map, the zones of the brain must be understood to conquer them. The brain plays a critical role of controlling visual and auditory reflexes, the nervous system, and memories, creating a dire need to understand its functions to prevent an invasion from outside sources. Outside sources that we either consciously or unconsciously absorb hinders the control of the brain and its functions. Conquering the vast lands of the mind war tactics, such as understanding…
