  • here’s been a lot of talk recently about introverts vs. extroverts and the fact that social media seem to stifle the participation of the not-so-socially-comfortable among us
  • blogs really do encourage slow thinking space and offer a place of choice for thinkers
  • blogging and perhaps to a lesser extent other social media interactions change the way we think and write, but I think for the better
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • social media are all about the network you build and interact with. Regardless of its size
  • criticising social media for sidelining introverts is like shooting at the ambulance: it is targeting the channel not the person using it, it is misguided, over-simplified, not to mention the strait-jacketting it suggests, by putting all introverts and extroverts in one same bag

    "3D animation of a neuron and an action potential. Ion channels in the soma open and allow an increase in the intracellular voltage. Once the voltage reaches a threshold, an action potential is generated, which travels the length of the axon and passes into the terminals. The voltage in the terminals stimulate the release of neurotransmitters which cross the synapse, opening ion channels in dendrites of the post-synaptic neuron and increasing the voltage of the second neuron."

  • The results underline how the population shifted its focus from looking back and reflecting on the revolution, to looking forward and focusing on new state institutions and the elections

    "Two years after the Arab Spring, questions still remain as to how much social media actually helped fuel and drive the uprisings that arose in Tunisia and swept across the region. But regardless of what happened during those Twitter-fueled revolutions, what's happened afterward?"

  • What works better is praise for effort, and feedback that encourages kids to try different strategies (“Can you think of another way to do it?”)
  • Planning is an important component of self-discipline
  • Any time we ask kids to play by the rules, we’re encouraging them to develop self-control. But some games are more challenging than others.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • kids benefit when parents talk to them about their feelings, show empathy, and discuss constructive ways to cope
  • Experimental studies suggest we can help these kids improve their working memory skills with practice. Computer-based training programs ask kids to pay attention to new information and repeat it back.
  • music training can boost a child's ability to inhibit inappropriate responses
  • When parents are too controlling, or enforce discipline with threats and harsh punishments, kids may lose important opportunities to regulate themselves.
  • harsh parenting tactics predict child aggression and other behavior problems
  • Roland Gesthuizen on 04 Apr 12
     
    To get along in the classroom, kids need to pay attention, follow directions, stay motivated, and control their impulses. So we might expect self-control to play an important role in academic achievement. Recent studies support the idea.

    The brain is a mystery we've been trying to solve for ages, and the desire to unlock its secrets has led to vast amounts of misinformation. Many of these false notions are more widely believed than the truth. We took our healthy skepticism and a bunch of brain research to find the truth behind some of the most common myths about intelligence and our brains. Here's what we learned.

Delivering Constructive Feedback Doesn't Have to Be Painful | Your Voice of Encouragement - 1 views

feedback motivation engagement behaviour

shared by Roland Gesthuizen on 17 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • 1.  Describe the behavior – What specifically is the person doing or not doing? 2.  Share your reaction – how you feel about it 3.  Explain the impact of their actions 4.  State what you’d like this person to do in the future – what you want 
  • Give the person a chance to respond and commit to making the change. If there are issues to discuss, you've increased the chances of both parties being honest and open. This approach strengthens your relationship with that individual and you can feel good about the way you handled the situation.
  • Roland Gesthuizen on 17 Feb 13
     
    "When you give feedback the right way, you focus on the behavior, not the person. There's a simple 4-step process that works well. It helps you stay calm and use language that makes it more likely the person will listen to your message."

  • So, for most of us, eight hours of sleep is excellent and six hours is no good
  • cognitive deficits: “You don’t see it the first day. But you do in five to seven days. Unless you’re doing work that doesn’t require much thought, you are trading time awake at the expense of performance.”
  • the sleep-deprived among us are lousy judges of our own sleep needs. We are not nearly as sharp as we think we are.
  • Roland Gesthuizen on 17 Apr 11
     
    In what was the longest sleep-restriction study of its kind, Dinges and his lead author, Hans Van Dongen, assigned dozens of subjects to three different groups for their 2003 study: some slept four hours, others six hours and others, for the lucky control group, eight hours - for two weeks in the lab.

    "Image is powerful. A universal language of sorts, images evoke emotion, can mobilise the masses and even change the course of history. But, images are representations, not reality. And representations of what our culture deems as beautiful or not can have a profound impact on our lives."
