In such situations there may be different frameworks for such education – a coordinative framework when a child easily switches between the semantic basis of two languages (such cases are rare); a subordinate framework when a child thinks in and fluently speaks his/her mother tongue (Ta- tar, Chuvash, or Mari) and poorly in his/her second language (Rus- sian); and a mixed framework when rules of one language overlap with the rules of another which results in a child poorly speaking both languages. Bilingulism can be good or bad but in has a major impact on intellectual, communicative, and moral development of children. Contemporary psycholinguistics consider it an ideal bilingualism when a child freely switches between languages, i.e., fluently speaks both languages. However, if a child studies three languages simulta- neously let s say, Tatar, Russian, and English), then two semantic frameworks (i.e., meanings of words) overlap with the third – with Russian, Tatar or English. It is very important to determine how in happens for every child, which would help to develop an overall strategy for coordinated and simultaneous learning of three lan- guages. Dissociated language training leads to a mixed bilingualism which can slow down not only speech production in the mother tongue but also the overall intellectual development. The spread of mixed bilin- gualism currently observed in pre-schools and schools can result in a child unable to speak any language – neither the mother tongue nor the second language. Studies of problems associated with preschool language learning show the need for developing a special didactics, i.e., linguistic didactics of pre-school education. Methodology of development of a child includes philosophy (Soc- rates, and others), psychology (Charles Samuel Myers, and others), didactics. Valerian F. Gabdulchakov, 2011.

Make a story on the theme of "Socrates and science". In his use of critical reasoning, by his unwavering commitent to truth, and through the vivid example of his own life, fifth-century Athenian Socrates set the standard for all subsequent Western philos- ophy. Since he left no literary legacy of his own, we are dependent upon contemporary writers like Aristophanes and Xenophon for our information about his life and work. As a pupil of Archelaus during his youth, Socrates showed a great deal of interest in the scientific theories of Anaxagoras, but he later abandoned inquiries into the physical world for a dedicated investigation of the development of moral character. Having served with some distinction as a soldier at Delium and Amphipolis during the Peloponnesian War, Socrates 1 http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/socr.htm 7 dabbled in the political turmoil that consumed Athens after the War, then retired from active life to work as a stonemason and to raise his children with his wife, Xanthippe. After inheriting a modest fortune from his father, the sculptor Sophroniscus, Socrates used his margin- al financial independence as an opportunity to give full-time attention to inventing the practice of philosophical dialogue. For the rest of his life, Socrates devoted himself to free-wheeling discussion with the aristocratic young citizens of Athens, insistently questioning their unwarranted confidence in the truth of popular opinions, even though he often offered them no clear alternative teaching. Unlike the professional Sophists of the time, Socrates pointedly declined to accept payment for his work with students, but despite (or, perhaps, because) of this lofty disdain for material suc- cess, many of them were fanatically loyal to him. Their parents, how- ever, were often displeased with his influence on their offspring, and his earlier association with opponents of the democratic regime had already made him a controversial political figure. Although the am- nesty of 405 forestalled direct prosecution for his political activities, an Athenian jury found other charges - corrupting the youth and in- terfering with the religion of the city - upon which to convict Socra- tes, and they sentenced him to death in 399 B.C.E. Accepting this outcome with remarkable grace, Socrates drank hemlock and died in the company of his friends and disciples. Our best sources of information about Socrates's philosophical views are the early dialogues of his student Plato, who attempted there to provide a faithful picture of the methods and teachings of the master. (Although Socrates also appears as a character in the later dialogues of Plato, these writings more often express philosophical positions Plato himself developed long after Socrates's death.) In the Socratic dialogues, his extended conversations with students, states- men, and friends invariably aim at understanding and achieving vir- tue {Gk. αρετη [aretê]} through the careful application of a dialecti- cal method that employs critical inquiry to undermine the plausibility of widely-held doctrines. Destroying the illusion that we already comprehend the world perfectly and honestly accepting the fact of our own ignorance,

This copy of the thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract This thesis asks: what are the uses and meanings of Indigenous Australian collections in the UK today? This question is approached through a comprehensive analysis of one exhibition, Indigenous Australia: enduring civilisation, which took place at the British Museum (BM), London, from 23 April to 2 August, 2015. Each chapter considers a different stage of the exhibition’s development and reception. It begins in Chapter 2. Genealogy with a study of how the exhibition emerged from the longer history of collecting and displaying Indigenous Australian material at the BM. It then interrogates the aims and experiences of the people who made Indigenous Australia in Chapter 3. Production. Chapter 4. Text analyses the finished display and, Chapter 5. Consumption, evaluates how the exhibition was received by its audiences. Each chapter considers not only how the exhibition was experienced by the people involved, but also how their aims and understandings relate to broader debates about the role of colonial era collections in contemporary Western societies. 2 Acknowledgements Thank you to the AHRC for funding this project, and to the Sainsbury Research Unit for Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas and University of East Anglia for additional travel and conference funds.

  • “Going in for Insanity”: W. H. R. Rivers, World War One, and War-Neurosis Morgan Bourque University of Prince Edward Island
    Running head: “GOING IN FOR INSANITY” 1 “Going in for insanity”: W. H. R. Rivers, World War One, and War-Neurosis Morgan Bourque University of Prince Edward Island “GOING IN FOR INSANITY” 2 Abstract Dr. William H. R. Rivers was found to have made significant contributions to the field of psychology, along with various other fields of study including anthropology, neurology, and ethnology. Rivers is often described as one of the first experimental psychologists in Britain, and is credited with the founding of the country’s first two experimental psychology laboratories. He conducted noteworthy psychology research and also pioneered cross-cultural psychology. Perhaps most significant, however, were Rivers’ contributions during the First World War when he worked with shell-shocked patients and developed his own theory and method of treatment for war-neurosis. This Honours thesis made use of several of Rivers’ own published works to convey his significance within the history of psychology, especially Instinct and the Unconscious: A Contribution to a Biological Theory of the Psycho-Neuroses, published in 1920 and which detailed his theory and treatment for war-related trauma. Within this Honours thesis, Rivers was also considered in relation to three of his main students; Charles Myers, William McDougall, and Frederic Bartlett. All three of these students are largely significant within the history of psychology and Rivers was found to have influenced each of them, both personally and academically. “GOING IN FOR INSANITY” 3 Introduction William H. R. Rivers, M.D., D. Sc., LL. D., F.R.S., was a notable English anthropologist, ethnologist, neurologist, and psychiatrist.

  • A Short History of the British Psychological Society
    A Short History of The British Psychological Society 1901 Psychology was a modest enterprise in Britain in 1901. Laboratories for experimental research had been established in London and Cambridge, and elementary psychophysiology was being taught at Liverpool. A lectureship in comparative psychology had been created at Aberdeen and Oxford had appointed a reader in Mental Philosophy.1 An informal psychology discussion group had been formed at University College London. It was here, on October 24 1901, that a Psychological Society was founded. The aim of the Society, its members quickly decided, was ‘to advance scientific psychological research, & to further the co-operation of investigators in the various branches of Psychology.’ The ten founders resolved ‘that only those who are recognised teachers in some branch of psychology or who have published work of recognisable value be eligible as members’.2 Although a variety of attempts had been made to institutionalise the subject during the previous quarter century, the ‘new psychology’ nevertheless remained the activity of but a few specialists.3 Alexander Bain had first broached the idea of bringing out a new 1 See Hearnshaw (1964: ch.11) and Boring (1929/1957: ch.20) for British psychology’s experimental and institutional beginnings. For an extensive but accessible history of the human sciences, see Smith (1997). Richards (1996) provides a critical historical introduction to psychology. 2 As the British Psychological Society’s first historian later recalled, the change of name from The Psychological Society to The British Psychological Society in 1906 ‘was not due to any sudden uprising of imperial pride, but to the fact that members had discovered another body of persons who were using the former title.
