  • MEDIA RELEASE 8 May 2019 PERTH NINJA WARRIOR PREPARING TO
    MEDIA RELEASE 8 May 2019 PERTH NINJA WARRIOR PREPARING TO STEP UP FOR MSWA Ninja Warrior and local firefighter Alex Matthews is preparing to put his special skills to the test when he takes part in the Shadforth Financial Group Step Up for MSWA, racing to the top of Central Park in the Perth CBD on Sunday, 30 June. 2019 marks the 12th annual Step Up for MSWA. The event sees a broad range of participants – from professional athletes and protective services personnel, to office workers and families – who make the climb up Central Park’s 1,103 stairs (53 flights) to raise funds for people living with MS and all neurological conditions in WA. In preparation for Step Up for MSWA, Alex and other registered participants will take part in an exciting training session at Perth’s own Ninja Academy, in Osborne Park – home to Australia’s most extensive Ninja Warrior-style obstacle course. Alex, a qualified aviation firefighter based at Perth Airport, is competing in the Extreme Firefighter Challenge category of the event and said he would be taking full advantage of the Ninja Academy training session. In the first series of Channel Nine’s Australian Ninja Warrior Alex smashed the gruelling course in six minutes and six seconds. He said that in 2019, he planned to work just as hard when tackling Step Up for MSWA in aid of a very worthy cause. “The reward and exhilaration of climbing 1,103 steps to the top of Central Park, whilst knowing you have helped make a difference to thousands of Western Australians living with MS and all neurological conditions, is incredible,” Alex said.

  • Understanding and Sharing Intentions: the Origins of Cultural Cognition
    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2005) 28, 000–000 Printed in the United States of America Understanding and sharing intentions: The origins of cultural cognition Michael Tomasello, Malinda Carpenter, Josep Call, Tanya Behne, and Henrike Moll Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, D-04103 Leipzig, Germany [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: We propose that the crucial difference between human cognition and that of other species is the ability to participate with others in collaborative activities with shared goals and intentions: shared intentionality. Participation in such activities requires not only especially powerful forms of intention reading and cultural learning, but also a unique motivation to share psychological states with oth- ers and unique forms of cognitive representation for doing so. The result of participating in these activities is species-unique forms of cultural cognition and evolution, enabling everything from the creation and use of linguistic symbols to the construction of social norms and individual beliefs to the establishment of social institutions. In support of this proposal we argue and present evidence that great apes (and some children with autism) understand the basics of intentional action, but they still do not participate in activities involving joint intentions and attention (shared intentionality). Human children’s skills of shared intentionality develop gradually during the first 14 months of life as two ontogenetic pathways intertwine: (1) the general ape line of understanding others as animate, goal-directed, and intentional agents; and (2) a species-unique motivation to share emotions, experience, and activities with other persons.
