The Relation between brain growth and the development of scientific reasoning ability

Theoretically it has been already shown that the development of prefrontal lobe at the onset of early adolescence period is highly correlated with an individual's skills to slow down task-irrelevant data and to get aligned with task-relevant data. These skills are again conditioned by two essential factors – physical experience and social experience – which in turn manipulate the scientific reasoning ability. It also gives power to refuse scientific misconceptions, while allowing scientific theories. Many researches have been conducted in support of this theory and in most of the cases, it retrieves positive result. To know more about it in details, follow this link.

Now it is the time to know about the answers of the previous set.

1. c) ; 2. a) 22 ; 3. b) 48 ; 4. b) 578 ; 5. a) 50 and 30 ; 6. JMQ ; 7. d) guava ; 8. c) Some parrots are birds ; 9. c) Coast-river ; 10. a) .

We Are within Geometrical Shapes - Are We?

Yes, we are within geometrical shapes. Everywhere there is geometry and the entire world is designed with a geometrical shape. Look at your doors when you enter in your house. This is a rectangle. Look at your house. It is a complex combination of rectangular cube. Look at the window. This is also rectangle, sometimes in combination with a half circle on the top. Now look at the inside of a room. The floor is rectangular, the top is rectangular. Your wall clock is a circle. If you look outside, the moon is a circle or more precisely a round sphere. Same is true with the sun. The sky is like a half of a round sphere. Now it's your turn to become creative and find out more and more geometrical shapes around you.

Who is Kismet?

With the blessings of modern artificial intelligence, now it is possible to design robots that are able to interact with humans in a more meaningful way. The Cog Project conducted in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has shown a new dimension on this issue and Kismet is the outcome of many of the various projects dealing with artificial intelligence. Kismet is a robot who is able to make many social interactions with people. Kismet can show many facial expressions while it tries to interact with the audience. Kismet is designed with a motivational system that is similar to the human system. This system appears to be in a homeostasis condition when the robot is motivated to learn the behaviors which are able to meet the needs.

What Is Conditional Reasoning?

Conditional reasoning is a term frequently used in Psychology. It is a special type of logical reasoning, which depends on conditional statements. For example, if you take a glass, then a diamond can surely make a scratch over it. The logic here is simple: if x, then y. Here x is the antecedent and y is the consequent. Many more examples can be given in this respect. For example, if more ice is melt in the North Pole, more people will be drown. Now, it's your time to think about different conditional reasoning. Time to brainstorm for more.

How to Become Successful in Learning

All of us know that knowledge is power and learning is the tool to empower this power. Learning as a tool allows us to manage our power. While visiting different sites, today I discovered an interesting site known as http://www.supermemo.com. It covers few remarkable pieces that can be of great interests to the readers. The author here discusses the shortest path of becoming successful in learning. First of all, you need to look after your craving for knowledge. Yes, it is important, since it prepares the base of your path to success.

Secondly, you need to make up your mind regarding your focus. Or in other words, you need to know about your own interest, which field(s) attracts you more. Then you need to locate the relevant and required information. As soon as you collect the relevant data, you need to build your own strategy to formulate the knowledge for active recall.

Fluid Intelligence vs. Crystal Intelligence

Many psychologists have assumed that there are many factors of intelligence. Thurstone found seven factors of intelligence. On the other hand, Cattell found 2 factors governing these seven factors of intelligence. These factors he labeled as fluid intelligence and crystal intelligence. Fluid intelligence is a non-learned intelligence that is developed through the interaction with the environment and on the basis of cultural relations, such as reasoning ability to some extent. On the other hand, crystal intelligence is a learned intelligence, the tasks one learns throughout his or her life, such as mathematical ability. According to Cattell, fluid intelligence is essential to gain crystal intelligence.
