Het wegoefenen van foutjes Deliberate practice, wat je zou kunnen vertalen als doelbewust oefenen, komt erop neer dat je geconcentreerd werkt aan (deel)taken waar jij nu nog niet betrouwbaar competent op kunt functioneren. Je zoekt hierbij dus de grens van je eigen competentie op, het punt waar het moeilijk begint te worden voor jou. Dat is wat je gaat oefenen. Je oefent kleine stukjes en je oefent ze steeds opnieuw. Daarbij is het belangrijk dat je één of andere vorm van betrouwbare feedback hebt om te beoordelen of je progressie boekt. Bij deliberate practice oefen je dus kleine stukjes en zo gauw je een foutje ziet, probeer je het meteen opnieuw te doen en nu beter, totdat het foutje weg is. Dit wegoefenen van foutjes is de kracht van deliberate practice.

De plakfactor: de Vloek van Kennis In het boek De plakfactor (Made to Stick) van Dan en Chip Heath wordt de Vloek van Kennis genoemd als een van de belangrijkste oorzaken waarom er in de praktijk weinig 'briljant geformuleerde beklijvende ideëen' zijn. Bij de Vloek van Kennis gaat het om een natuurlijke neiging die ons tegenhoudt plakkende ideëen te lanceren. De gebroeders Heath illustreren de Vloek van Kennis met het Kloppen en luisteren-experiment van Elizabeth Newton uit 1990. Bij het experiment werden mensen ingedeeld in kloppers en luisteraars. Volgens de Heath broeders vallen de tegenvallende resultaten te verklaren omdat de klopper het lied dat hij of zij klopt in het hoofd hoort. De Vloek van Kennis is nu dat je als klopper kennis hebt (de titel van het liedje) waardoor je je niet meer kunt voorstellen hoe het is als je die kennis niet hebt. Een ceo die het heeft ‘aandeelhouderwaarde genereren’ heeft zelf een melodie in zijn of haar hoofd, maar de medewerkers kunnen deze niet horen.
Electricity & Magnetism: Magnets A magnet is an object or a device that gives off an external magnetic field. Basically, it applies a force over a distance on other magnets, electrical currents, beams of charge, circuits, or magnetic materials. Magnetism can even be caused by electrical currents. While you might think of metal magnets such as the ones you use in class, there are many different types of magnetic materials. Iron (Fe) is an easy material to use. There are many different types of magnets. Most of the magnets you see around you are man-made. There are also air-core magnets. Electromagnets are different because they have a ferromagnetic material (usually iron or steel) located inside of the coils of wire.
Bespreking van Mindware: tools for smart thinking (2015) door Richard Nisbett. Psycholoog Richard Nisbett heeft een nieuw boek geschreven getiteld Mindware: tools for smart thinking. Ik vind het een must-read voor studenten psychologie. Hier is mijn bespreking van het boek. Als psychologiestudent in de jaren ’80 hoorde ik voor het eerst van het werk van Richard Nisbett. Samen met Lee Ross (die de term fundamentele attributiefout bedacht, waarover later meer) schreef hij de klassieker Human Inference (1980) over hoe mensen vuistregels gebruiken bij sociale oordeels- en besluitvorming en hoe we aan de lopende band systematische fouten maken in de manier waarop we gebeurtenissen en mensen beoordelen. Nisbett was onder psychologen ook bekend vanwege werk dat hij had gedaan met zijn voormalige student Timothy Wilson over hoe veel mentale processen ontoegankelijk zijn voor ons bewustzijn. Nisbetts nieuwe boek Mindware: tools for smart thinking (2015) behandelt veel onderwerpen die hij in het verleden al heeft behandeld. www.progressfocused.com
Color Meanings | Color Symbolism | Meaning of Colors This is part two of a three-part series on color. Part one was Color Therapy & Healing. You can read part three: The Psychological Effects of Color, where we will delve into the psychology of some specific colors and how they might affect your everyday life. Here are the topics covered in this article: The Meaning of Colors You Choose Carl Jung, a renowned psychiatrist and proponent of art therapy, encouraged his patients to use color because he felt this would help them express some of the deeper parts of their psyche. The colors you choose to wear might also say something about how you are feeling that day. How Do We See Color? There are 2 main sources of light that create the colors we see: the sun and lightbulbs. Surfaces reflect and absorb light differently, which results in the colors we see through our eyes. The colored light enters the eye through the pupil, goes through the lens, then reaches the back of the eye called the retina. Here you can see a basic color wheel.
Intelligence is getable Did you read the 1996 book Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life (A Free Press Paperbacks Book) and did it make you feel uneasy because you did not (want to) agree with its conclusions but did not exactly know how to refute them? Among its conclusions were (loosely formulated): 1) that intelligence is highly important in many areas of life, 2) that differences in intelligence are largely responsible for societal stratification, 3) that differences in intelligence are largely heritable, and 4) that intelligence gaps between (racial) groups are hard to close (if that is possible at all). by psychologist Dick Nisbett. , David Perkins' Outsmarting IQ: The Emerging Science of Learnable Intelligence , and Joshua Aronson's Improving Academic Achievement: Impact of Psychological Factors on Education (Educational Psychology) .
Fireworks “The Geography of Thought,” Richard E. Nisbett Is human cognition the same everywhere? Or do styles of cognition differ depending on geographic or cultural boundaries? Richard Nisbett explores these questions in his 2003 book “The Geography of Thought.” Nisbett opens his argument by comparing the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Chinese as emblems of Western and Eastern thought respectively. Nisbett next discusses the social origins of the mind, where he establishes that cognitive processes are dependent on ecology (location), economy, social structure, attention, metaphysics, and epistemology, or in other words culture. (33) He argues that the unique positions of the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Chinese in relation to each of these categories eventually led to the development of Eastern and Western styles of thought. Although the exact conclusions about Asian culture Nisbett draw are debatable, it is clear that culture influences the individual. Korean thought and perspective is particular interest to me as a biracial Korean American.
untitled Book Review | 'Intelligence and How to Get It,' by Richard E. Nisbett Success in life depends on intelligence, which is measured by I.Q. tests. Intelligence is mostly a matter of heredity, as we know from studies of identical twins reared apart. Since I.Q. differences between individuals are mainly genetic, the same must be true for I.Q. differences between groups. What I have just summarized, with only a hint of caricature, is the hereditarian view of intelligence. Photo Richard E. Intellectually, the I.Q. debate is a treacherous one. Nisbett himself proceeds with due caution. However, Nisbett bridles at the hereditarian claim that I.Q. is 75 to 85 percent heritable; the real figure, he thinks, is less than 50 percent. Even if genes play some role in determining I.Q. differences within a population, which Nisbett grants, that implies nothing about average differences between populations. Could the same logic explain the disparity in average I.Q. between Americans of European and of African descent? Still, there are limits even to Nisbett’s optimism.
Quantitative chemistry Quantitative chemistry is a very important branch of chemistry because it enables chemists to calculate known quantities of materials. For example, how much product can be made from a known starting material or how much of a given component is present in a sample. Quantitative analysis is any method used for determining the amount of a chemical in a sample. The amount is always expressed as a number with appropriate units. Understand the core ideas in quantitative chemistry Explain how the core ideas of quantitative chemistry develop and progress throughout secondary education Identify common misconceptions and know how these can be addressed Confidently and competently teach aspects of quantitative chemistry to secondary aged students Access a range of activities and resources to support students in their learning of quantitative chemistry
Why We're More Creative When We're Tired and 9 Other Surprising Facts About How Our Brains Work 12.6K Flares Filament.io 12.6K Flares × One of the things that surprises me time and time again is how we think our brains work and how they actually do. On many occasions I find myself convinced that there is a certain way to do things, only to find out that actually that’s the complete wrong way to think about it. For example, I always found it fairly understandable that we can multitask. Well, according to the latest research studies, it’s literally impossible for our brains to handle 2 tasks at the same time. Recently I came across more of these fascinating experiments and ideas that helped a ton to adjust my workflow towards how our brains actually work (instead of what I thought!). So here are 10 of the most surprising things our brain does and what we can learn from it: 1. When I explored the science of our body clocks and how they affect our daily routines, I was interested to find that a lot of the way I’d planned my days wasn’t really the best way to go about it. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
