Overview of learning styles - 1 views

  • Your learning styles have more influence than you may realize. Your preferred styles guide the way you learn. They also change the way you internally represent experiences, the way you recall information, and even the words you choose. We explore more of these features in this chapter.Research shows us that each learning style uses different parts of the brain. By involving more of the brain during learning, we remember more of what we learn. Researchers using brain-imaging technologies have been able to find out the key areas of the brain responsible for each learning style.

    "The Seven Learning Styles Visual (spatial):You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding. Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music. Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing. Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch. Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems. Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other people. Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study."

From music making to speaking: Engaging the mirror neuron system in autism - 0 views

  • mirror neuron system (MNS)
  • The involvement of this multisensory and motor system is particularly evident in experts, such as musicians. Neuroimaging studies using voxel-based morphometry found evidence for structural brain changes such as increased gray matter volume in the inferior frontal gyrus in instrumental musicians compared with non-musicians
  • Social and communication impairments represent some of the key diagnostic characteristics of autism
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Theory of mind refers to the ability to understand another person’s mental state, including their beliefs, intents and desires, as separate from one’s own thoughts, experiences and behaviors
  • Research has demonstrated a relationship between joint attention and language development in children with autism.
  • Besides poor joint attention, the communication deficits in autism may be related to imitation difficulties. Imitation involves translating another person’s action into one’s own, and is also considered to be a precursor of language developmen
  • We argue that this engagement could be achieved through forms of music making. Music making with others (e.g., playing instruments or singing) is a multi-modal activity that has been shown to engage brain regions that largely overlap with the human MNS. Furthermore, many children with autism thoroughly enjoy participating in musical activities. Such activities may enhance their ability to focus and interact with others, thereby fostering the development of communication and social skills. Thus, interventions incorporating methods of music making may offer a promising approach for facilitating expressive language in otherwise nonverbal children with autism.
  • Given that the mirror neuron system is believed to involve both sensorimotor integration and speech representation, it is likely to underlie some of the communication deficits in individuals with autism spectrum disorder
  • Music is a unique, multi-modal stimulus that involves the processing of simultaneous visual, auditory, somatosensory, and motoric information; in music making, this information is used to execute and control motor actions
  • It has long been noted that children with autism thoroughly enjoy the process of making and learning music

  • 1.  Students create an avatar using Voki.com. We suggest limiting the time because students and teachers could spend all day creating the perfect avatar. 2.  Students type a sentence, paragraph, or section of their stories into the Voki text box. 3.  Students listen to the speech and read along several times. 4.  Students make corrections.

  • The one primary shortcoming of Voki that occurs to me is the 1 minute limit to what can be recorded for a given avatar. Multiple avatars can be created, but I saw no obvious way to simply copy an avatar so you could then record more speech to create a new “scene” for it. Additionally, there did not seem to be any apparent help utility (beyond an FAQ section). If I just missed this, and someone knows how to find help or request help in Voki, kindly comment and point it out.

      Diane: this is a good overview of the tool. I agree, that the one minute is a limitation, but i also like the challenge of having to work with that limitation : )

  • assimilation
  • assimilation
  • Sociocultural Theory of Development
  • human activities take place in cultural settings and cannot be understood apart from these settings
  • Through these social interactions, we move toward more individualized thinking.
  • Private speech is considered to be self-directed regulation and communication with the self, and becomes internalized after about nine years
  • zone of proximal development.
  • Vygotsky believed that given proper help and assistance, children could perform a problem that Piaget would consider to be out of the child's mental capabilities.
  • Vygotsky's theory stressed the importance of culture and language on one's cognitive development
  • Piaget proposed that children progress through the stages of cognitive development through maturation, discovery methods, and some social transmissions through assimilation and accommodation
  • think abstractly
  • Assimilation is information we already know. Accommodation involves adapting one's existing knowledge to what is perceived
  • provide short instruction and concrete examples
  • opportunities to organize groups of objects on "increasingly complex levels"

    This article from Dartmouth College is a good introduction to the basic steps of the writing process, and jumps off to several links which get into the steps in more detail. The authors stress that each student's process is going to be a little different; writing a paper is not like following a recipe with precise steps.
