Makes the material fun and interesting (and surprisingly easier to comprehend!)” “Loved the lectures... very entertaining and proved very successful in improving my learning and comprehension of some often very difficult concepts!” “Great lecturer! Very entertaining. Made difficult topics less daunting, more interesting and provided some great examples to enhance understanding. I felt he understood where students are coming from. Approachable, friendly, helpful - really good!” “Best lecturer I've had. He makes the boring lecture content interactive and easy to engage. Fantastic lecturing technique” “Although he is an entertaining character, he is very knowledgeable and really good at teaching and explaining things. His lectures were based on the harder parts of research methods, and I found his teaching helpful in grasping difficult concepts.” “Adam is definitely the most captivating lecturer i have ever had. I have never enjoyed lectures as much as i enjoyed Adam's (despite the dry content of ANOVAs). Fantastic lecturer.. deserves a medal!” “Adam was amazing, very approachable and he made learning fun and explained difficult topics really well. One of the best teachers at Deakin!” “Amazing lecturer. I would go to any of his classes. An eclectic way of teachings. Loved the style of lectures, hilarious, clear, helpful, informative.

ROCK VIII. COURSE/CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT Developer of a 4th year psychology unit (PSYC401H - Altering Consciousness) at the University of New England. Director and primary developer of the first-year Psychology program at Deakin University, which consisted of two subjects: Introduction to Psychology A and B. In addition, developed a 12-part first-year Psychology tutorial series delivered in a synchronous virtual environment using an online teaching technology referred to as Elluminate-live! (E-Live!). This led to the formulation of a preliminary 'cyberspatial' pedagogy consisting of effective teaching strategies that were designed to be implemented in an online environment. The aforementioned pedagogy was presented at domestic (Rock, Wilkie, Hooley, & Wig, 2009) and national (Rock, Hooley, & Wilkie, 2009) teaching and learning conferences. IX.

  • Evolution and Executive Functions: Why Our Toolboxes Are Empty
    Revista Española de Neuropsicología 4, 4:351-377 (2002) Copyright© 2002 de REN ISSN: 1139-9872 Evolution and executive functions: Why our toolboxes are empty Roy Sugarman PhD Royal Adelaide Hospital: Glenside Campus Dept of Psychiatry, Adelaide University Abstract: Despite the recent findings with regard to our origins as human primates, we still struggle to find tools that evaluate executive functioning adequately and reliably. Despite some evidence of ecological validity, our toolboxes remain largely empty. With regard to how we produce common behaviours by using individually distinct, multiple areas of focus, each brain is individual. In a sense, not many complex, human, behaviours follow a normal distribution. This work traces the probable origins of executive functioning in humans in a social context, defining in passing the nature of human self-regulation. A discussion follows which integrates these ideas within a second order, cybernetic neuroepistemology of human thought and emotion, and questions the logical paradox of assuming that isolated cortical areas such as the frontal lobes generate executive functions in a linear progression. A brief exploration follows with regard to the nature of human consciousness, and the difficulties in measuring such a homeostatic mechanism as executive function. Using alcohol related brain changes, and cross-cultural issues as exemplars, an attempt is made to define a neuroepistemology for understanding the dynamic interplay between executive function and consciousness. Key words: Brain´s Evolution, executive functioning. Evolución y funciones ejecutivas: por qué nuestras cajas de herramientas estan vacías Resumen: A pesar de los recientes hallazgos en relación a nuestros orígenes como humanos primates, aún luchamos para encontrar instrumentos que evalúen el funcionamiento ejecutivo adecuadamente y de manera fiable.

  • Religion in an Age of Science by Ian Barbour
    Religion in an Age of Science return to religion-online 47 Religion in an Age of Science by Ian Barbour Ian G. Barbour is Professor of Science, Technology, and Society at Carleton College, Northefiled, Minnesota. He is the author of Myths, Models and Paradigms (a National Book Award), Issues in Science and Religion, and Science and Secularity, all published by HarperSanFrancisco. Published by Harper San Francisco, 1990. This material was prepared for Religion Online by Ted and Winnie Brock. (ENTIRE BOOK) An excellent and readable summary of the role of religion in an age of science. Barbour's Gifford Lectures -- the expression of a lifetime of scholarship and deep personal conviction and insight -- including a clear and helpful analysis of process theology. Preface What is the place of religion in an age of science? How can one believe in God today? What view of God is consistent with the scientific understanding of the world? My goals are to explore the place of religion in an age of science and to present an interpretation of Christianity that is responsive to both the historical tradition and contemporary science. Part 1: Religion and the Methods of Science Chapter 1: Ways of Relating Science and Religion A broad description of contemporary views of the relationship between the methods of science and those of religion: Conflict, Independence, Dialogue, and Integration. Chapter 2: Models and Paradigms This chapter examines some parallels between the methods of science and those of religion: the interaction of data and theory (or experience and interpretation); the historical character of the interpretive community; the use of models; and the influence of paradigms or programs.

  • The Neuroscientific Study of Religious and Spiritual Phenomena: Or Why God Doesn’T Use Biostatistics
    THE NEUROSCIENTIFIC STUDY OF RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL PHENOMENA: OR WHY GOD DOESN’T USE BIOSTATISTICS by Andrew B. Newberg and Bruce Y. Lee Abstract. With the rapidly expanding field of neuroscience re- search exploring religious and spiritual phenomena, there have been many perspectives as to the validity, importance, relevance, and need for such research. In this essay we review the studies that have con- tributed to our current understanding of the neuropsychology of re- ligious phenomena. We focus on methodological issues to determine which areas have been weaknesses and strengths in the current stud- ies. This area of research also poses important theological and episte- mological questions that require careful consideration if both the religious and scientific elements are to be appropriately respected. The best way to evaluate this field is to determine the methodologi- cal issues that currently affect the field and explore how best to ad- dress such issues so that future investigations can be as robust as possible and can become more mainstream in both the religious and the scientific arenas. Keywords: health; methodology; religion; spirituality. With the rapidly expanding field of research exploring religious and spiri- tual phenomena, there have been many perspectives as to the validity, im- portance, relevance, and need for such research. There is also the ultimate issue of how such research should be interpreted with regard to epistemo- logical questions.

  • 1 Neural Connectivity of the Creative Mind Psyche Loui Setareh O'brien
    Neural Connectivity of the Creative Mind Psyche Loui Setareh O’Brien Samuel Sontag Wesleyan University March 17, 2015 1 Abstract Human creativity contributes to the engagement, achievement, and subjective well-being of individuals. While historiometric and psychometric studies have defined multiple areas for creativity research, a neuroscientific understanding of how the human brain subserves creativity is only beginning to be realized. This chapter reviews the literature on the neuroscience of creativity, with special foci on how different components of creative cognition and domains of perception relate to the structural and functional connectivity of the human brain, and how these patterns of brain connectivity can inform interventions that foster creativity and innovation. Keywords Creativity, neuroimaging, structural connectivity, functional connectivity, creative cognition, perception, intervention 2 Introduction What would the world be like without creativity? Surely, the fundamentally human drive to create something wholly new and useful has catalyzed great achievements in history. Creativity contributes to the adaptation, growth, and pleasure of communities, and plays an important role in the well-being of individuals. Creativity can allow us to lose ourselves in engaging activities, to achieve success by developing innovative solutions to problems, and to make social contributions that provide satisfaction and meaning in our lives. These ends—engagement, achievement, and meaning—are considered to be among the key components of the flourishing life (Seligman 2011). More specifically, research studies suggest that creativity may be positively correlated with measures of happiness and subjective well-being (Pannells & Claxton, 2008; Tamannaeifar & Motaghedifard, 2014). As positive psychology embraces the use of scientific inquiry to increase happiness and improve well-being, the movement would be incomplete without a thorough investigation of this core human strength (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000; Simonton, 2002).
