  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • The Reasoning Skills and Thinking Dispositions of Problem Gamblers: a Dual-Process Taxonomy
    Journal of Behavioral Decision Making J. Behav. Dec. Making, 20: 103–124 (2007) Published online 22 September 2006 in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com) DOI: 10.1002/bdm.544 The Reasoning Skills and Thinking Dispositions of Problem Gamblers: A Dual-Process Taxonomy MAGGIE E. TOPLAK1*, ELEANOR LIU2, ROBYN MACPHERSON3, TONY TONEATTO2 and KEITH E. STANOVICH3 1York University, Canada 2Centre forAddiction and Mental Health,Toronto, Canada 3University of Toronto, Canada ABSTRACT We present a taxonomy that categorizes the types of cognitive failure that might result in persistent gambling. The taxonomy subsumes most previous theories of gambling behavior, and it defines three categories of cognitive difficulties that might lead to gambling problems: The autonomous set of systems (TASS) override failure, missing TASS output, and mindware problems. TASS refers to the autonomous set of systems in the brain (which are executed rapidly and without volition, are not under conscious control, and are not dependent on analytic system output). Mindware consists of rules, procedures, and strategies available for explicit retrieval. Seven of the eight tasks administered to pathological gamblers, gamblers with subclinical symptoms, and control participants were associated with problem gambling, and five of the eight were significant predictors in analyses that statistically controlled for age and cognitive competence. In a commonality analysis, an indicator from each of the three categories of cognitive difficulties explained significant unique variance in problem gambling, indicating that each of the categories had some degree of predictive specificity. Copyright # 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. key words dual-process theories; problem gambling; human reasoning; intuitive and analytic processing Pathological gambling is defined as ‘‘persistent and recurrent maladaptive gambling behavior that disrupts personal, family, and vocational pursuits’’ (DSM-IV-TR, American Psychiatric Association, 2000, p.

  • Meta-Effectiveness Excerpts from Cognitive Productivity: Using Knowledge to Become Profoundly Effective
    Meta-effectiveness Excerpts from Cognitive Productivity: Using Knowledge to Become Profoundly Effective Luc P. Beaudoin, Ph.D. (Cognitive Science) Adjunct Professor of Education Adjunct Professor of Cognitive Science Simon Fraser University EDB 7505, 8888 University Drive Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6 Canada [email protected] Skype: LPB2ha http://sfu.ca/~lpb/ Last Revised: 2015–05–31 (See revision history) I recently wrote a blog post containing some importants concepts for understanding adult development of competence (including “learning to learn”). The overarching concept of that topic, and Cognitive Productivity, is meta-effectiveness, i.e., the abilities and dispositions (or “mindware”) to use knowledge to become more effective. Effectance is a component of meta-effectiveness. The concepts of meta-effectiveness and effectance being both subtle and important, I am publishing in this document a few excerpts from my book (Cognitive Productivity) to elucidate them. You will notice that I am critical of the position espoused by Dennett (e.g., in Inside Jokes) that the tendency to think is pleasure- seeking in disguise. Also, I’ve modernized White’s concept of effectance, aligning it with Sloman’s concept of architecture-based motivation. I have also updated David Perkins’ concept of mindware.

Sternberg Frontmatter More information The Psychology of Problem Solving Problems are a central part of human life.

There are chapters by leading experts in this field, includ- ing Miriam Bassok, Randall Engle, Anders Ericsson, Arthur Graesser, Norbert Schwarz, Keith Stanovich, and Barry Zimmerman. The Psychology of Problem Solving is divided into four parts. Fol- lowing an introduction that reviews the nature of problems and the history and methods of the field, Part II focuses on individual differ- ences in, and the influence of, the abilities and skills that humans bring to problem situations. Part III examines motivational and emotional states and cognitive strategies that influence problem-solving perfor- mance, while Part IV summarizes and integrates the various views of problem solving proposed in the preceding chapters. Janet E. Davidson is Associate Professor of Psychology at Lewis & Clark College. She conducts research on several aspects of problem solving, including the roles that insight and metacognitive skills play in problem solving. Robert J.
