      There seems to be a lot of interesting work going on at this institution.  Several of our readings this semester come from faculty there.
  • This is emphatically wrong. Hawkins needs to consult with neuro-psychologist in the field of brain trauma to become enlightened.

      Can you expand on why you think there's a conflict between Hawkins and other researchers' findings?  (I might add that one of the challenges in talking about "intelligence" across different works is that there are so many different definitions and ideas about what "intelligence" is.)

  • More tweaking continues on my facilitation of Edyburn’s ULD in a couple more weeks. It is difficult to get a firm grasp on each classmate(s) level of exposure on digital media and/or learning challenges. Therefore, it may be wise to provide a brief discernment thereby routing them to multiple formats to accomplish the true meaning of ULD concepts.

      I'm looking forward to this, Frank.  I think it might be helpful to suggest some examples of good UDL design in action that could be used as "anchors" to help people grapple with the more theoretical stuff in the article.

  • If you examine this backwards, it would appear that the only way to change behaviors in an individual is to first alter the perceptions/predictions which are coming from the brain.

      Yes! (Although, to a certain extent, exerting control/influence on the behavior of others can change mental patterns as well.  The drawbacks of this approach are that it can be coercive and it takes some consistency and repetition.)  For example, think of people who pay personal trainers or diet counselors to essentially manipulate their behavior until they develop the habits they want.
  • Thus, if we couple expectations with predictions and perceptions, I believe that we can go a long way in changing behavior over time.  If a person is going to behave based on what the brain see’s as most logical, then behavior can be changed by changing the logic.  I am a true believer in congnitive therapy, for instance.  I believe that cognitive therapy is rather strong proof that the patterns of ones behaviors can be changed by retraining the brain to set up the resultant behaviors to the desired outcome.

      Good insight and example, Matt.
  • There needs to be more emphasis on “what” behaviors are resulting from technology.  If we can tangilby measure the behaviors resulting from technological innovation, would that not help us to understand what parts of technology are effective and what parts are ineffective?

      Another interesting point.  Remember, too, that Hawkins really views behavior as part of the thinking/learning process.  In his view, behavior is often driven by desire to collect data about the world to help us determine which mental patterns are applicable and to verify that our mental models of the world are correct.  There's no hard line between thought and behavior.
