Revealing Minds

Revealing Minds is a practical, hands-on guide to assessing learning problems, based on the approach of All Kinds of Minds, the groundbreaking nonprofit institute co-founded by Mel Levine. Whereas most assessments of struggling learners focus on what is "broken" within a student and needs to be fixed, All Kinds of Minds has adopted a more positive and comprehensive approach to the process. Rather than labeling children or categorizing them into certain pre-defined groups, their optimistic and helpful path creates a complete picture (or "profile") of each student, outlining the child’s assets along with any weaknesses, and identifying specific breakdown points that lead to problems at school. The process of assessment should be able to answer a question such as, "Why is my son struggling with reading?" with a better answer than, "Because he has a reading disability." Revealing Minds shows how to discover hidden factors—such as language functioning, memory ability, or attention control—that are impeding a student’s learning. It goes beyond labels and categories to help readers understand what's really going on with their students and create useful learning plans. Providing scores of real-life examples, definitions of key terms, helpful diagrams, tables, and sample assessments, Pohlman offers a useful roadmap for educators, psychologists, and other professionals to implement the All Kinds of Minds approach in their own assessments.

"How to Read People's Minds." (Burlingame). -- Explains how Johnstone successfully accomplished the feat of driving blindfolded through the streets of Chicago, from one hotel to another, and found, while still blindfolded, a page in the register thought of by a committee, finishing by writing the name of the person who registered. Explains also in a most lucid manner how to teach dogs to do tricks in magic, lightning calculations, etc., with programs of various performers. 48 pages, illustrated.

A deeper understanding of how consumers think, feel and act is vital to the success of management and provides valuable information for managerial decision making in many areas of business. One key to this understanding is brand knowledge, which is the representation of a brand in consumers’ minds. Unfortunately, a substantial amount of relevant knowledge within people’s minds is unconscious and cannot be retrieved, accessed and recalled by consumers. As a consequence, certain methods of retrieval are required, such as projective techniques. The method this book works with is the collage technique, an expressive projective method. The aim of this book is to create a multi-layered approach that facilitates the interpretation of collages without the need of any additional information given by the participants, based on metaphor analysis, color theory, a communication model and structural analysis.

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. *By reading this summary, you will know the latest advances in artificial intelligence through a study conducted on the neocortex. This part of the brain is at the origin of all civilizations and our perception of the universe. The neocortex is about to create its ultimate work: its double, a digital mind with infinite possibilities, freed from the constraints of biology. *You will also learn that : man is a species apart, thanks to his brain and in particular to the neocortex; the functioning of the neocortex can be summarized in a simple theory applicable to artificial intelligence; the concept of "consciousness" poses a tricky problem to solve; there are counter-arguments to the creation of an artificial mind. *Emblem of biological evolution on Earth, the human being is the only species, until today, capable of shaping the world in its own image, of extracting matter in order to create increasingly complex tools. Mathematics, computer science and physics have reached their critical threshold; Man will now be able to engender a creation in his own image: an artificial intelligence that thinks, feels and gently takes human form. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
