Archetypal Energies, The Emergence Of Obama As A Practical Idealist, And Global Transformation, Carroy U. Ferguson
Archetypal Energies, The Emergence Of Obama As A Practical Idealist, And Global Transformation, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
During this time of change, AHP and kindred spirits on the edge have important roles to play. We are the keepers and nurturers of a transformative and evolutionary Vision for Consciousness and a more humane world. At issue is what I will call the “psychic politics” for global transformation, nurtured by practical idealism and the Archetypal Energies. In other writings, I have described Archetypal Energies as Higher Vibrational Energies, operating deep within our individual and collective psyches, which have their own transcendent value, purpose, quality, and “voice”, unique to the individual. We experience them as “creative urges” to move us …
The Psychological Impacts Of Long-Term Unemployment, Sex Differences And Activity: A Case Study Analysis, Juanita Muller, Brian Delahaye, Sharon Winocur, Richard Hicks
The Psychological Impacts Of Long-Term Unemployment, Sex Differences And Activity: A Case Study Analysis, Juanita Muller, Brian Delahaye, Sharon Winocur, Richard Hicks

There is renewed interest in the use of qualitative methods in the unemployment research arena to provide a richer understanding of the unemployment experience. This study is designed to investigate the effects of long-term unemployment on psychological well-being, sex differences and the effects of participating in 'activity' using a case study methodology. Findings from ten semi-structured interviews with people, unemployed between 12 and 36 months, showed that psychological distress, depression and life satisfaction were the most affected psychological variables. Financial difficulties also have a major impact on psychological well-being. The social policy implications from this study suggest that women may …
Longitudinal Analysis Of Early Semantic Networks Preferential Attachment Or Preferential Acquisition?, Thomas Hills, Mounir Maouene, Josita Maouene, Adam Sheya, Linda Smith
Longitudinal Analysis Of Early Semantic Networks Preferential Attachment Or Preferential Acquisition?, Thomas Hills, Mounir Maouene, Josita Maouene, Adam Sheya, Linda Smith
Josita C Maouene
Analyses of adult semantic networks suggest a learning mechanism involving preferential attachment: A word is more likely to enter the lexicon the more connected the known words to which it is related. We introduce and test two alternative growth principles: preferential acquisition— words enter the lexicon not because they are related to well-connected words, but because they connect well to other words in the learning environment—and the lure of the associates—new words are favored in proportion to their connections with known words.We tested these alternative principles using longitudinal analyses of developing networks of 130 nouns children learn prior to the …

Auditory Verb Perception Recruits Motor Systems In The Developing Brain: An Fmri Investigation, Josita Maouene, Karin Harman James

This study investigated neural activation patterns during verb processing in children, using fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Preschool children (aged 4-6) passively listened to lists of verbs and adjectives while neural activation was measured. Findings indicated that verbs were processed differently than adjectives, as the verbs recruited motor systems in the frontal cortex during auditory perception, but the adjectives did not. Further evidence suggested that different types of verbs activated different regions in the motor cortex. The results demonstrate that the motor system is recruited during verb perception in the developing brain, reflecting the embodied nature of language learning and …
Categorical Structure Among Shared Features In Networks Of Early-Learned Nouns, Thomas Hills, Mounir Maouene, Josita Maouene, Adam Sheya, Linda Smith
Categorical Structure Among Shared Features In Networks Of Early-Learned Nouns, Thomas Hills, Mounir Maouene, Josita Maouene, Adam Sheya, Linda Smith
Josita C Maouene
The shared features that characterize the noun categories that young children learn first are a formative basis of the human category system. To investigate the potential categorical information contained in the features of early-learned nouns, we examine the graph-theoretic properties of noun–feature networks. The networks are built from the overlap of words normatively acquired by children prior to 2½ years of age and perceptual and conceptual (functional) features acquired from adult feature generation norms. The resulting networks have small-world structure, indicative of a high degree of feature overlap in local clusters. However, perceptual features – due to their abundance and …
