"Gus has autism, and Siri, Apple's "intelligent personal assistant" on the iPhone, is currently his BFF. Obsessed with weather formations, Gus had spent the hour parsing the difference between isolated and scattered thunderstorms - an hour in which, thank God, I didn't have to discuss them."

"Two University of Texas, Houston, graduate students created a claymation video to illustrate how synapses (connections between nerve cells in the brain) grow stronger over time. The video also features video games and earned Julia Hill and Natalia Rozas both third place and the People's Choice Award in the 2011 Brain Awareness Video Contest. "

"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."

feedback motivation engagement behaviour

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.

"Dianne Backwell was a psychology student at La Trobe University in 1973. She took part in controversial obedience tests modelled on the infamous Milgram experiments conducted at Yale University in the early sixties. On the orders of a tutor, Dianne had to give what she thought were electric shocks to her fellow student. Even after finding out that there were no shocks, she still suffers to this day about taking part in the experiment."
