And what should parents know about it to help them in their daily interaction with children? This book is a fascinating, non-technical introduction to the mental life of the child. Written in a simple, accessible way for those without an academic background in philosophy, the book explores and explains key elements of the child's mind without overwhelming the reader with complicated theories. Some of the areas discussed are: how children learn concepts the acquisition of beliefs, skills, knowledge and understanding the place of memory can we teach thinking skills? what is intelligence? imagination and creativity the development of emotion connections between home life, education and the school curriculum. 606 $aCognition in children 606 $aChild psychology 615 0$aCognition in children. 615 0$aChild psychology. 676 $a155.4/13 676 $a370.15 700 $aWhite$b John$f1934 November 7-$01815614 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965839403321 996 $aThe child's mind$94371512 997 $aUNINA LEADER 08403nam 22007215 450 001 9910633934303321 005 20251009105959.0 010 $a9783031136115$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9783031136108 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-13611-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7150597 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7150597 035 $a(CKB)25510409800041 035 $a(OCoLC)1352974121 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-13611-5 035 $a(EXLCZ)9925510409800041 100 $a20221130d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMoveable Designs, Liminal Aesthetics, and Cultural Production in America since 1772 /$fby Stefan L.

Interrogating the notion of a presumptive unity of the American experience, Moveable Designs argues that inner conflict, divisiveness, and contradiction are integral to the nation?s cultural designs, themes, and motifs. The study suggests that U.S. literary and cultural practice is permeated by ?moveable designs??flexible, yet constant features of hegemonial practice that constitute an integral element of American national self-fashioning. The naturally pervasive liminality of U.S. cultural production is the key to understanding the resilience of American culture. Moveable Designs looks at artistic expressions across various media types (literature, paintings, film, television), seeking to illuminate critical phases of U.S. American literature and culture?from the revolutionary years to the movements of romanticism, realism, and modernism, up to the postmodern era. It combines a wide array of approaches, from cultural history and social anthropology to phenomenology. Connecting an analysis of literary and cultural texts with approaches from design theory, the book proposes a new way of understanding American culture as design. It is one of the unique characteristics of American culture that it creates?or, rather, designs?potency out of its inner conflicts and apparent disunities. That which we describe as an identifiable ?American identity? is actually the product of highly vulnerable, alternating processes of dissolution and self-affirmation. Stefan L.

Consequently, archaeologists have often focused their research on this transition, hoping to understand both the ecological causes and impacts of this shift, as well as the social motivations and constraints involved. Given the complex interplay of socio-ecological factors, the answers to these types of questions cannot be found using traditional archaeological methods alone. Computational modeling techniques have emerged as an effective approach for better understanding prehistoric data sets and the linkages between social and ecological factors at play during periods of subsistence change. Such techniques include agent-based modeling, Bayesian modeling, GIS modeling of the prehistoric environment, and the modeling of small-scale agriculture. As more archaeological data sets aggregate regarding the transition to agriculture, researchers are often left with few ways to relate these sets to one another. Computational modeling techniques such as those described above represent a critical next step in providing archaeological analyses that are important for understanding human prehistory around the world. Given its scope, this book will appeal to the many interdisciplinary scientists and researchers whose work involves archaeology and computational social science.
