He works at the intersection of philosophy, cognitive science, and machine learning, integrating ideas, methods, and frameworks from each to advance our understanding of complex, cross-disciplinary problems. (...) His earlier work on computational cognitive science resulted in his book, Unifying the Mind: Cognitive Representations as Graphical Models, which developed an integrated cognitive model of complex human cognition.

  InBrief: The Science of Early Childhood Development

Sensory pathways like those for basic vision and hearing are the first to develop, followed by early language skills and higher cognitive functions. Connections proliferate and prune in a prescribed order, with later, more complex brain circuits built upon earlier, simpler circuits. 2 The interactive influ-ences of genes and experience shape the developing brain. (...) Early plasticity means it’s easier and more effective to influence a baby’s developing brain architecture than to rewire parts of its circuitry in the adult years. 4 Cognitive, emotional, and social capacities are inextricably intertwined throughout the life course. (...) Emotional well-being and social compe- tence provide a strong foundation for emerging cognitive abilities, and together they are the bricks and mortar that comprise the foundation of human development.

Better cognition in later life has been associated with higher levels of education.29,30 Our urban sample had much more formal education than the rural sample, which may explain the higher levels of cognitive functioning among the urban older adults. (...) Residential mobility and cognitive function among middle-aged and older adults in China. (...) Rural-urban differences in the prevalence of cognitive impairment in independent community-dwelling elderly residents of Ojiya city, Niigata Prefecture, Japan.

  PowerPoint Presentation

PowerPoint Presentation UNESCO EDUCATION SECTOR Education for Sustainable Development Goals Learning objectives UNESCO EDUCATION SECTOR 2  Publication developed by UNESCO together with a research team at the University of Vechta, Germany to provide guidance on how to address each of the 17 SDGs through Education  Peer-reviewed by experts on ESD and on each of the SDGs from around the world  Launched at the UNESCO Week for Peace and Sustainable Development in Ottawa, Canada in March 2017  So far available in 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese); translation into other languages (Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Serbian…) ongoing Background UNESCO EDUCATION SECTOR 3  Provide orientation on how to use ESD for learning for the SDGs  Outline indicative learning objectives as well as suggestions and examples for topics and learning activities for each SDG  Describe implementation on different levels from course design to national strategies  Support education officials, policy makers, educators, curriculum developers and others in designing strategies, curricula and lesson plans  Contribute to developing all learners’ capacity to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs within their timeframe until 2030 Aims of the Publication UNESCO EDUCATION SECTOR 4 Structure of the Publication Part I Introduction to the SDGs, ESD, and the possible contribution of ESD to achieving the SDGs; Part II Recommendations for cognitive, socio- emotional and behavioural learning objectives, topics and pedagogical approaches for each of the 17 SDGs; Part III Recommendations and examples of strategies for how ESD can be implemented at different educational levels and in different settings. (...) UNESCO EDUCATION SECTOR 6  cognitive domain: comprises knowledge and thinking skills necessary to better understand the specific SDG and the challenges in achieving it  socio-emotional domain: includes social skills that enable learners to collaborate, negotiate and communicate to promote the SDGs as well as self-reflection skills, values, attitudes and motivations that enable learners to develop themselves  behavioural domain: describes action competencies Recommendations for SDG learning topics and approaches UNESCO EDUCATION SECTOR 7 Example: No poverty (SDG 1) – Learning Objectives Cognitive learning objectives The learner understands… • the concepts of extreme and relative poverty and is able to critically reflect on their underlying cultural and normative assumptions and practices. • how extremes of poverty and extremes of wealth affect basic human rights and needs. (...) Suggested learning approaches and methods: UNESCO EDUCATION SECTOR 9 Example: Affordable and clean energy (SDG 7) Cognitive learning objectives The learner knows about/understands… • different energy resources – renewable and non-renewable – and their respective advantages and disadvantages • how policies can influence the development of energy production, supply, demand and usage Socio- emotional learning objectives The learner is able to: • assess and understand the need for affordable, reliable, sustainable and clean energy of other people/other regions • clarify personal norms and values related to energy production and usage as well as to reflect and evaluate their own energy usage in terms of efficiency and sufficiency Behavioural learning objectives The learner is able to: • apply basic principles to determine the most appropriate renewable energy strategy in a given situation • influence public policies related to energy production, supply and usage UNESCO EDUCATION SECTOR 10 Ex: Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12) Cognitive learning objectives The learner understands… • how individual lifestyle choices influence social, economic and environmental development • dilemmas/trade-offs related to and system changes necessary for achieving sustainable consumption and production Socio- emotional learning objectives The learner is able to: • differentiate between needs and wants, and to reflect on their own individual consumer behaviour in light of the needs of nature, other people, cultures, countries and future generations • feel responsible for the environmental and social impacts of their own individual behaviour as a producer or consumer.

The approach of integrating different (e.g. behavioral and neurobiological) measures of a comprehensive set of cognitive domains has become increasingly influential in the field of psychiatry. (...) In addition, demographic information as well as extensive cognitive and behavioral measures will be permitted to derive predictive models. (...) In addition, clinical institutions could potentially provide additional (undisclosed) data, such as cognitive, behaviourally, neurophysiological data and clinical diagnosis.

  Dementia

Dementia is a syndrome – usually of a chronic or progressive nature – that leads to deterioration in cognitive function (i.e. the ability to process thought) beyond what might be expected from the usual consequences of biological ageing. (...) Consciousness is not affected. The impairment in cognitive function is commonly accompanied, and occasionally preceded, by changes in mood, emotional control, behaviour, or motivation. (...) Signs and symptoms Dementia affects each person in a different way, depending upon the underlying causes, other health conditions and the person’s cognitive functioning before becoming ill. The signs and symptoms linked to dementia can be understood in three stages.
