Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

468
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Conservative Forces

10.4K
According to the law of conservation of energy, any transition between kinetic and potential energy conserves the total energy of the system. Hence, the work done by a conservative force is completely reversible. It is path independent, which means that we can start and stop at any two points in the transition, and the total energy of the system (kinetic plus potential energy at these points) will remain conserved. This is characteristic of a conservative force. Some important examples of...

Conservative Forces

Conservative forces are an essential concept in the field of mechanical engineering. Understanding the properties and characteristics of these forces is crucial to the design and analysis of mechanical systems.
Conservative forces are forces that are dependent only on the initial and final positions of an object and that are independent of the path that the object takes between these positions. These forces conserve energy, which means that the work done by the force is independent of the path...

The Colonization of Land

31.8K
Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...

Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation

266
Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often...

Repressed Memory01:16

Repressed Memory

661
Repressed memories are a psychological phenomenon where memories of traumatic events are unconsciously blocked from a person's awareness. This process occurs as a defense mechanism, protecting the mind from the emotional impact of distressing or painful experiences. For example, a person who has experienced childhood trauma may grow up with no conscious recollection of the event. In such cases, the memories are thought to be buried deep within the subconscious, inaccessible to the conscious...

Area of Science:

  • Science Communication
  • Sociology of Science
  • Science Policy

Background:

  • Public engagement with science (PES) has been a focus of policy and academic discussion for two decades.
  • The field grapples with assessing its own progress and effectiveness.
  • Historical models like the 'deficit' model have influenced science-public relations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To offer a personal evaluation of achievements and failures in public engagement with science over the last 20 years.
  • To reflect on the contributions within a special issue on PES.
  • To consider the future needs for reflective practice and practical application in PES.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of policy-making and academic discourse on PES.
  • Critical evaluation of the balance between success and shortcomings in PES initiatives.
  • Review of science-social science collaborations and institutional support.

Main Results:

  • Public engagement efforts and science-social science collaborations have persisted.
  • The institutional adoption of social science in PES remains ambiguous.
  • PES research is often assigned an instrumental role, posing a significant issue.

Conclusions:

  • Despite some progress, the field of public engagement with science faces ongoing challenges.
  • Addressing the instrumentalization of PES research and clarifying institutional roles are crucial for future development.
  • There is a need for both enhanced reflective practice and practical application within the PES field.
