Sense

control behaviors for privacy and personal space. Although, it’s a focused space, sensory perception and stimulation is very limited within the space’s designed flooring, lighting, furniture, and wall finishes, impacting the need for collaboration, a sense of place, and kinesthetic for users occupying the space for long periods of…

• Do you learn best in a group or through individual training? Would a mix of the two work for you? • Do you find study groups beneficial? How frequently would you want to meet if so? • Are you a visual, aural, verbal, or kinesthetic learner? Most people are a mix, but all of us are dominant in one over the others. ⁃ Visual learners prefer pictures, diagrams, images, videos, and spatial relationships. They learn by seeing. ⁃ Aural learners prefer spoken words, lectures, podcasts, sounds,…

The disinclination of humans to question the information they perceive is a timeless phenomenon. This concept dates back to 380 BC, when Plato wrote the short story, “Allegory of the Cave”, in his magnum opus, The Republic. The allegory depicts humankind as prisoners, bound so they can only see what is directly in front of them: shadows cast by various objects passing behind them. However, as they have only ever been exposed to the shadows, the prisoners believe they are the true forms of each…

“Organization helps you make sense of the information by revealing how it’s similar to and different from, other things you know about.” (Floyd, 109) When identifying the situation, four types of scheme helps classify some information which includes: physical, role, interaction, and…

According to synesthesia researchers, this condition offers individuals an artistic advantage. They have a greater aesthetic sensitivity and are drawn to more artistic fields. They are able to expresses unrelated concepts better than those without synesthesia. For example a normal painter either paints some ting in front of them or something they imagine, while a synesthete paints what they actually visualize when experiencing a certain stimulus. Many famous celebrities involved with music and…

For example, a handle on a mug allows you to hold the mug without burning your hand. In the case of this record, the principle of affordance is somewhat diminished in a physical sense. I could play any record from my collection in the circumstances. However, it depends upon the end I am attempting to facilitate. I could play a faster, more hard-edged piece of music and afford a differing reaction from a crowd. Yet, when endeavouring…

Philosopher George Berkeley formulates a compelling and idealist argument on the basis of human knowledge and human perception in his work “Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge.” Berkeley founds his argument on the statement “esse is percipi,” which means to be is to be perceived. In his view, we do experience things that create ideas within our mind. Since ideas can only resemble other ideas, our mental ideas can only come from an external world that is also made solely of…

Active listening can be defined as listening with all available sense and paraphrasing what is heard both mentally and verbally. Whereas paraphrasing is defined as restating another person message by rephrasing the content or intent of the message. Paraphrasing gives the original speaker the credited but allows you to…

The nature of humanity is primitive and sheepish. He depicts the “cave dwellers” having analogous thoughts and perceptions. Plato also hinted that the “cave dwellers” had no common sense in understanding reality. I came to this contemplation with the service of Jerry H. Gill’s journal, Re-Exploring Plato’s Cave. “Plato begins by assuming that the basic condition of humankind, especially with reference to perceptual judgements, is essentially…
