Children's Developing Ideas About Knowledge and Its Acquisition
Publication date: Available online 7 December 2017 Source:Advances in Child Development and Behavior Author(s): Samuel Ronfard, Deborah T. Bartz, Liao Cheng, Xinkui Chen, Paul L. Harris We review key aspects of young children's concept of knowledge. First, we discuss children's early insights into the way that information can be communicated from informant to recipient as well as their active search for information via questions. We then analyze the way that preschool children talk explicitly and cogently about knowledge and the presuppositions they make in doing so. We argue that all children, irrespective of culture and...

In search of the engram, 2017
Publication date: April 2018 Source:Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, Volume 20 Author(s): Eva Berlot, Nicola J Popp, Jörn Diedrichsen Based on evidence from lesion and imaging studies, some authors have suggested that the ‘motor engram’—a representation underlying skillful behavior—becomes more localized with learning. We critically review the evidence in favor of this view pointing out several caveats with the interpretation, most of which have been raised in Karl Lashley's classical paper from 1950. We argue that motor skills are likely not stored in a single area, but are instead encoded across multiple...

Expansion and Renormalization of Human Brain Structure During Skill Acquisition
Publication date: December 2017 Source:Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Volume 21, Issue 12 Author(s): Elisabeth Wenger, Claudio Brozzoli, Ulman Lindenberger, Martin Lövdén Research on human brain changes during skill acquisition has revealed brain volume expansion in task-relevant areas. However, the large number of skills that humans acquire during ontogeny militates against plasticity as a perpetual process of volume growth. Building on animal models and available theories, we promote the expansion–renormalization model for plastic changes in humans. The model predicts an initial increase of gray matter structure, pot...

John Oliver wants you to know that small business is the backbone of our economy — and he has the eerily echoing footage of U.S. politicians to prove it. “It’s that rare thing that ever politician agrees on,” said Oliver. “It’s that, support our troops, Ted Cruz can go f— himself, and South Dakota Senator John Thune can get it.”
While small business is the backbone of the economy, these days, big business is getting bigger than ever thanks to mergers and acquisitions, which is what Oliver focused on during Sunday night’s episode of Last Week Tonight. Corporate consolida...
