Leddy, Diana – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 2010
Integrating writing into the social studies curriculum ought to be easy. After all, within any rich unit of study, there are endless possibilities for students to record, synthesize, and respond to new content with written words. Learning is enhanced by multiple opportunities to write, and what better way to teach composition than in the vivid…

Cowell, Rosemary A.; Bussey, Timothy J.; Saksida, Lisa M. – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2010
We examined the organization and function of the ventral object processing pathway. The prevailing theoretical approach in this field holds that the ventral object processing stream has a modular organization, in which visual perception is carried out in posterior regions and visual memory is carried out, independently, in the anterior temporal…

Bowers, Jeffrey – Psychological Review, 2010
The author briefly responds to a number of terminological, theoretical, and empirical issues raised in some postscripts. The goal is not to respond to each outstanding point but rather to address some comments that in his view confuse rather than clarify matters. He responds to Plaut and McClelland and Quian Quiroga and Kreiman in turn.

Salimpoor, Valorie N.; Chang, Catie; Menon, Vinod – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2010
We investigated the neural basis of repetition priming (RP) during mathematical cognition. Previous studies of RP have focused on repetition suppression as the basis of behavioral facilitation, primarily using word and object identification and classification tasks. More recently, researchers have suggested associative stimulus-response learning…

Johnsson, Mary C.; Boud, David – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2010
The purpose of this paper is to challenge models of workplace learning that seek to isolate or manipulate a limited set of features to increase the probability of learning. Such models typically attribute learning (or its absence) to individual engagement, manager expectations or organizational affordances and are therefore at least implicitly…

Herrenkohl, Leslie Rupert; DeWater, Lezlie Salvatore; Kawasaki, Keiko – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2010
In this chapter, the authors focus on a multiyear teacher-researcher collaboration. They analyze the collaboration as oriented toward "phronesis," or wise action used to solve practical problems. The three practical problems they emphasize in this chapter are: (1) How did they use their work together to improve teaching and learning? (2)…

Temporal preparation was assessed in 15 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, 20 persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 28 healthy older adults. Participants completed a simple reaction time task in which the preparatory interval duration varied randomly within two blocks (short versus long temporal window). Results indicated that AD and…

Larsson, Rune – Religious Education, 2010
In general churches talk a lot about the importance of education. At the same time their educational praxis is often fragmentized. The most crucial factor for this is a weak connection between the Church's identity and its activity. When this link is diffuse, different activities have a tendency to live their own lives. This article examines some…

In this research study, we undertook a content analysis of thirteen economics and business textbooks, which were examined for their coverage of the social economy, which encompasses a range of nonprofit and social enterprise organizations that put "people before profits." The goal was to understand the ways that these textbooks represent official…
