---------------------------------------------

Nature vs. nurture debate is a prominent philosophical debate within psychology.

Nature discusses the influence of genetics on an individual's personality.

Nurture refers to the impact of the environment, including relationships and experiences, on personal development.

Both nature and nurture contribute to shaping personality and behavior, with a significant emphasis on environmental influences.

Research shows that environment-related factors like parenting styles, social relationships, and culture profoundly impact an individual’s development.

A nurturing environment with supportive caregivers often results in positive personality traits like empathy and self-esteem in children.

Children experiencing neglect or abuse potentially develop negative personality traits like aggression or anxiety.

Environmental factors can influence an individual's behavior

children exposed to violent environments or substance abuse are more likely to engage in similar behaviors.

Genetics and environmental influences equally contribute to the shaping of personality and behavior.

Understanding the dynamic between nature and nurture is vital for understanding human development and formulating effective interventions for at-risk individuals.

---------------------------------------------

Environmental policy and climate policy involves considering the value we place on the future.

There is a dispute between economists and others on how much money should be set aside for the future.

Economists use discounting to calculate how much money should be set aside for future consumer goods.

The discount rate, how far in the future, and the type of good being purchased all affect the present value.

There is a debate on the appropriate discount rate to use for climate policy.

A refusal to act on climate change could lead to a decline in future prosperity and exacerbate global inequities.

The idea of discounting the future is questioned ethically as it may prioritize present interests over the interests of others.

Economics can be useful in decision-making, but it should not be the sole determinant of policy.

Ethics should play a role in setting policy ends.

Tests validated in various populations and situations

Adapted tests to run online as the Cambridge Brain Sciences (CBS) cognitive testing platform

Tests completed over 8 million times, generating massive database

Acquired normative database of 75,000 participants with extensive demographic information

Collected cognitive data from 16,600 people as part of World's Largest Sleep Study (WLSS)

Short term objective: use existing datasets to answer questions about human cognition

Long term objective: design and conduct intervention studies to investigate relationships between lifestyle factors, demographic variables, and cognitive performance

Utilized CBS platform for various large-scale studies assessing cognition and lifestyle factors

Research themes include Sleep and Cognition, Cognitive and Physical Training, and Identifying the Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms of Behaviour Change

Physical exercise improves cognitive health

Mechanisms by which physical exercise improves cognitive health are unclear

Uncertain if certain forms of physical exercise improve certain domains of cognition more than others

Uncertainties surround the benefits of cognitive or brain training

CBS databases will be used to examine how physical and cognitive training habits relate to cognition across different domains

Long term effects of training on different cognitive systems will be explored

Large scale intervention study online will be conducted using custom designed training programs focused on specific cognitive sub systems

Targeted training programs centered around single tasks will be compared to determine the degree of transfer

Aerobic and resistance exercise both lead to improved cognition but their relationship needs further study

Laboratory-based studies will manipulate the type and amount of exercise to examine these relationships

Brain networks that underlie different cognitive domains will be studied to explore how changes in cognition are mediated by changes in brain function and structure

Multivariate methods will be used to investigate how demographic and lifestyle variables relate to specific aspects of cognition and brain function

Follow-up studies will examine variables that were most strongly associated with cognitive performance

At least 5 papers in high quality peer-reviewed journals are expected each year

Results will be of interest to educators, policymakers, human resource professionals, psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, and the general population

Findings are likely to pave the way for scientifically validated interventions and programs to help individuals optimize or improve their cognitive functioning

The approach outlined in this proposal will provide a new paradigm for future scientists to explore human cognition

Beginning with an end in mind is the concept of Outcome Based Education (OBE)

Educators design curriculum and lesson plans with a clear understanding of desired learning outcomes

It ensures quality education by focusing on specific expectations, providing clear direction, and facilitating effective assessment and evaluation

Starting with an end in mind enables educators to set explicit learning outcomes

Teaching methods, activities, and assessments are purposefully arranged to achieve desired learning outcomes

This principle promotes a student-centered approach

Educators can tailor teaching methods and strategies according to the needs, abilities, and interests of students

Education becomes more meaningful and personalized, leading to increased motivation and active participation

Effective assessment and evaluation are possible when educators have a clear understanding of desired outcomes

Appropriate assessment methods can be designed to measure students' progress and attainment of outcomes

Continuous improvement is necessary within this principle

Educators need to reflect on outcomes, strategies, and assessment methods to identify areas for enhancement or modification

Collaboration and involvement of various stakeholders are crucial in ensuring quality education

Involving all stakeholders promotes a comprehensive and holistic approach that addresses diverse needs

Beginning with an end in mind is fundamental to providing a purposeful, coherent, and relevant educational experience.

Descriptive linguistics was a new approach to the study of languages

Leonard Bloomfield was a leader in this new field

Bloomfield criticized traditional methods of teaching second languages

He believed that oral language should be given primary emphasis in the classroom

Language learning should involve overlearning necessary structural forms

The American Council of Learned Societies established intensive language courses at colleges and universities

The government turned to these linguists for leadership in teaching language skills to Armed Forces personnel during World War II

The linguists in the Army Specialized Training Program produced graduates who could function in the language

Public reaction was surprise and admiration at Americans learning a second language quickly

Questions were raised about why this had not been done before and directed at schools

Adaptations were developed to fit the school situation after 1945

Psychology established itself as a science separate from philosophy and physiology

Different schools of psychology emerged, including structuralists, functionalists, and behaviorists

Behaviorists rejected introspection and focused on observable behavior for objective descriptions

American legal system based on the concept of precedent

Precedent is decided by principles established in earlier cases

Precedent can be overturned if it's no longer worth preserving

Brown v. Board of Education is a famous reversal of precedent

Court overturned decision from 1896, Plessy v. Ferguson

Plessy v. Ferguson allowed government imposed racial segregation as long as facilities were equal

"Separate but equal" doctrine provided constitutional basis for racial segregation

Changes in American society after World War II paved the way for reversal

Thurgood Marshall conducted strategic litigation campaign to undermine "separate but equal"

Marshall started with integrating law schools and won a Supreme Court ruling in 1950

By 1954, public school segregation was ruled unconstitutional

Chief Justice Earl Warren ensured unanimous Brown decision

Warren held off on a vote until he was certain it would be unanimous.
