How Do Babies Come To Know What Babies Know?, David S. Moore, David J. Lewkowicz Jan 2024

How Do Babies Come To Know What Babies Know?, David S. Moore, David J. Lewkowicz

Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research

Elizabeth Spelke’s What Babies Know is a scholarly presentation of core knowledge theory and a masterful compendium of empirical evidence that supports it. Unfortunately, Spelke’s principal theoretical assumption is that core knowledge is simply the innate product of cognitive evolution. As such, her theory fails to explicate the developmental mechanisms underlying the emergence of the cognitive systems underlying that knowledge.

Modeling The Binding Of Dendrin And Ptpn14 To Kibra, Aniruddh Mehra, Anna Maria Weber, Chandralekha Sai Mekala

Protein Modeling Reports

Due to the complexity of the brain, the underlying mechanisms of most neurobiological diseases have yet to be completely uncovered, prompting the use of more innovative tools in current research. Designing 3D printed protein models has shown promising results in facilitating the understanding of protein dynamics by allowing scientists to analyze protein binding and folding at a 3-dimensional level. Kidney and Brain Expressed Protein (KIBRA) is a synaptic scaffold protein commonly found in brain regions associated with learning and memory. Expressed highly in the hippocampus, KIBRA is crucial for synaptic plasticity, but beyond its role in memory, it is also …

Teaching For Transpersonal Learning, Paul Cunningham Jan 2024

Teaching For Transpersonal Learning, Paul Cunningham

International Journal of Transpersonal Studies Advance Publication Archive

This article addresses the “why,” “what,” and “how” of teaching for transpersonal learning. Why transpersonal education is relevant for addressing modern social problems and the global ecological crisis, what it is like to teach for transpersonal learning, and how transpersonal learning becomes transformative are discussed. Three promising options in technology and consciousness studies for transpersonal learning—transpersonal media, multistate studies, and entheogenic education—are described and the challenges of introducing transpersonal education into academic settings and assessing educational (student) learning outcomes are reviewed. The relevance of Mezirow’s Transformation Theory to transpersonal educational psychology, with special attention to ecological perspective transformation, is then …


Embody The Cause: Subaltern Body Protests As Resistance Tactics, Dipakshi Sarma Jan 2024

Embody The Cause: Subaltern Body Protests As Resistance Tactics, Dipakshi Sarma

Political Science Honors Projects

Gendered, classed, and racialized bodies differentially experience state-sanctioned violence and societal norms. Body protests — when the body manifests the political messages by drawing attention to itself — manifest in these intersections. Women engaging in body protests garner more attention; a body that is sexualized, controlled, and subjugated draws attention to itself as a political act. To understand this, I ask, what explains the specific tactics that women employ in acts of political resistance? By employing subaltern agency and feminist social movement theories, I use process tracing and comparative analysis of three body protest cases: the incarcerated Armagh women in …


Role Of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Signaling In Diet-Enhanced Bone Elongation, Cassaundra A. White Jan 2024

Role Of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Signaling In Diet-Enhanced Bone Elongation, Cassaundra A. White

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Childhood obesity has increased precipitously to the point that almost 20% of children between the ages of 2 and 19 have been diagnosed with obesity. While obesity is a complex metabolic disorder, one contributing factor is diet, particularly a diet high in fat. Among many problems associated with diet-induced obesity, the impact on skeletal health is often overlooked. In addition to increased stress on the skeleton due to excess weight, obesity also disrupts the endocrine and immune systems that, in turn, can secondarily alter skeletal growth. Obesity during the early years of childhood is particularly detrimental because the skeleton is …


The Hypothesis Of Extended Cognition, Weston Fields Jan 2024

The Hypothesis Of Extended Cognition, Weston Fields

Bouwsma Paper Contest

In the study of philosophy, one is bound to come across some rather counter-intuitive theories about how the world really is. This is especially true when it comes to studies of the mind and consciousness. Despite this, some of these seemingly-outlandish theories often have a good degree of explanatory power, and oftentimes raise complicated moral dilemmas. Both of those things seem to be true of the Hypothesis of Extended Cognition (HEC). In this paper, I will argue that while HEC is an intriguing theory, ultimately, it has what I and many others consider to be fatal flaws. That said, however, …

Deep Dive: An Investigation Of What It Means To Be An Octopus Mother, Evelyn Beauchemin Jan 2024

Deep Dive: An Investigation Of What It Means To Be An Octopus Mother, Evelyn Beauchemin

Theses & ETDs

Octopuses are fascinating animals with a bad reputation, however, they are slowly but surely gaining the recognition they deserve. The goal of this study was to identify a hierarchy of motivating factors in brooding octopuses, using three O. joubini that had laid eggs in captivity as case studies. To address feeding motivation, I continued to supply the animals food, both free-roaming and directly to their dens. To address the importance of hiding, I disturbed the dens and monitored the animals’ responses. To address the importance of brooding, I encouraged one subject to make choices between returning to her eggs or …


Quantitative Analysis Of Freely-Circulating Vs. Exosomal Micrornas In Canine Congestive Heart Failure Secondary To Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease, Lola Lyons Jan 2024

Quantitative Analysis Of Freely-Circulating Vs. Exosomal Micrornas In Canine Congestive Heart Failure Secondary To Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease, Lola Lyons

Theses & ETDs

Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease (MMVD) remains to be the number one cause of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) in dogs. Mainly characterized by mitral regurgitation in the left atrium, MMVD can lead to fatal heart failure down the line. MicroRNAs, which are small, noncoding RNAs about 21-25 nucleotides in length that regulate gene expression, can be found freely-circulating throughout the blood, extracellular fluid, intracellular fluid and interstitial fluid, or in extracellular vesicles such as exosomes. These vesicles play a role in the transportation of various molecules as well as in intercellular communication. Previous studies show microRNAs display statistically significant expression levels …
