Signals intelligence

The world today if filled with a vast amount of complex technologies that previous generations did not have access to. This is called the information age, and depending on a person’s viewpoint, it is either proclaimed the greatest revolution in the expansion and distribution of knowledge, or ridiculed for creating a harmful environment with too many distractions. Critics of the information age agree with the latter and have extended that statement to claim that “those under age thirty constitute…

In the “Multiple Intelligences Assessment,” I scored the highest on self, or intrapersonal, followed by language (linguistic) and social (interpersonal). Like with the “Learning Styles Inventory” test, I was neither surprised nor disappointed to find out my results. I found myself getting excited reading the definition for each intelligence because it perfectly described how I think, how I act, what I enjoy, and what I try to avoid…

Class #10 (Lab during class #9) Readings: None listed in the outline (PSA Presentation day!) Today we had all of our Public Service Announcement assignments present in class. Some were videos, slideshows and poems. Over all, it was very interesting to see and learn about all of the different trauma related fields, theories, facts and activities. I think that everyone brought forward a creative presentation, making their PSA their very own. I truly enjoyed this class and think that it followed…

Cognitive development of the human brain has been a source of interest for generations of educators, researchers, and psychologists. The Stanford Binet Intelligence Quotient was used in the early 1900s. Behaviorists, John Watson and B.F. Skinner, began to study children and hypothesized that children were impressionable and transformable. These researchers believed that through reward of good behavior and discouragement of unacceptable behavior a child’s environment would shape the learning…

SLA Research As far as the research of major issues Second Language Acquisition (SLA) is concerned, a set of widely attested empirical, findings has been achieved in the past 50 years. Interest areas and priority areas have included age effects; effects of individual differences in language aptitudes and other affect and cognitive variables; the role of the broader social context and linguistic environment as sources of negative and positive evidence and of opportunities for input, output, and…

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…

How do the Milgram and Burger results tie in with another theory we’ve discussed in class? You can use any theory you want, but make sure it’s clear (and that you’re ready to talk about it in class). Cognitive Dissonance Theory: The participants felt what they what they were doing was wrong, but told themselves it was in the name of scientific study that they do what they do it. Self-Perception Theory: “We are more likely to learn about ourselves in new situations,” and the participants did…
