This book provides an introduction to nineteen popular multiple
intelligences. Part One discusses general intelligence,
psychological testing, naturalistic intelligence, social
intelligence, emotional intelligence, interpersonal intelligence,
and cultural intelligence. Part Two tackles machine intelligence,
the development of artificial intelligence, computational
intelligence, and digital intelligence, or the ability for humans
to adapt to a digital environment. Finally, Part Three discusses
the role of intelligence in business development, using technology
to augment intelligence, abstract thinking, swarm and animal
intelligence, military intelligence, and musical intelligence. A
Primer on Multiple Intelligences is a must-read for graduate
students or scholars considering researching cognition, perception,
motivation, and artificial intelligence. It will also be of use to
those in social psychology, computer science, and pedagogy. It is
as a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about
the multifaceted study of intelligence.
Groundbreaking, insightful, and compulsively readable,
"Revolution in Mind" goes beyond myth and polemic to give us the
story of one of the most controversial and important intellectual
endeavors of the twentieth century. In this masterful history,
George Makari demonstrates how a new way of thinking about inner
life coalesced and won followers who spread this body of thought
throughout the West. Along the way he introduces the reader to a
fascinating array of characters, many of whom have been long
ignored or forgotten.
"Revolution in Mind" is a brilliant, engaging, and radically
new work--the first ever to account fully for the making of
psychoanalysis.
This book is essential for anyone interested in learning about the
therapeutic potential of orthodox and state-of-the-art supports for
autistics. Using research evidence, supports are rated using a
Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Tin category system. 'Gold' is extremely
promising and use with confidence, whereas 'Tin' is extremely
unsafe and potentially life threatening. This book, however, is
more complex than just presenting literature reviews about supports
for autistics and then rating the efficacy of the support. In
addition to this, the insights and experiences of autistics about
the autism supports examined are presented. Such testimonials
provide an insider perspective from those who ultimately stand to
benefit or suffer after receiving a support - namely autistics
themselves.
This Book is comprised of solutions for the treatment of cognitive
diseases with Bionics or Bioinspired Algorithms using future
technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning,
Internet of Things (IoT), data science, and more. Studying the
behavior of nature and providing the medical engineering solutions
would not only be unique but would result in substantial
contribution in solution of so many cognitive disease problems
which are not detected correctly in initial stages. This
publication would be a breakthrough in the field of medical
science, especially in the field of cognitive diseases by providing
solutions in the form of algorithms and devices that could be
useful for the brain disease patient for early detection. This book
is essential for various medical research centers, engineering
institutions across the world, medical colleges, biomedical
research centers, and electronics and communication research
centers.
The concept of resistance has always been central to the reception
of Hegel's philosophy. The prevalent image of Hegel's system, which
continues to influence the scholarship to this day, is that of an
absolutist, monist metaphysics which overcomes all resistance,
sublating or assimilating all differences into a single organic
'Whole'. For that reason, the reception of Hegel has always been
marked by the question of how to resist Hegel: how to think that
which remains outside of or other to the totalizing system of
dialectics. In recent years the work of scholars such as Catherine
Malabou, Slavoj Zizek, Rebecca Comay and Frank Ruda has brought
considerable nuance to this debate. A new reading of Hegel has
emerged which challenges the idea that there is no place for
difference, otherness or resistance in Hegel, both by refusing to
reduce Hegel's complex philosophy to a straightforward systematic
narrative and by highlighting particular moments within Hegel's
philosophy which seem to counteract the traditional understanding
of dialectics. This book brings together established and new voices
in this field in order to show that the notion of resistance is
central to this revaluation of Hegel.
This second European edition of this classic textbook brings the
exceptional introduction to organizational behaviour written by the
masters of the subject, and adapts it to meet the needs of students
studying in Europe today. Fully updated and revised, this
adaptation continues the tradition of making current, relevant
research come alive for students, while maintaining its hallmark
features - clear writing style, cutting-edge content and compelling
pedagogy. This new edition offers real-life examples drawn from a
global range of organizations including Google, Cadbury, Apple,
Capital One, Microsoft, Lego, Ferrari and more, plus up-to-date
insights into the latest research and hot topics from across the
world. Key features include: 'Myth or science?' boxes, which
provide repeated evidence that common sense can often lead us
astray in the attempt to understand human behaviour, and that
behavioural research offers a means for testing the validity of
common-sense notions. 'OB in the news' which prepares students to
recognise and evaluate OB issues which often appear in the news
when presented with them in newspapers, magazines, TV, etc. 'Face
the facts': these boxes highlight interesting facts from recent
surveys that emphasise key aspects of the text. For example,
diversity across Europe, the extent of employee engagement, and the
popularity of working in teams. "As a whole, the content of the
book is strong, and is well-structured with a European focus."
