Brain-based Learning for Preschoolers

The nineties have been called the Decade of the Brain and the Decade of Education. Because of new technology we know more about the function of the brain than ever before. We now know that, in an enriched environment where a person is actively engaged with their surroundings, the cortex of their brain actually increases. Because a thicker brain cortex produces smarter lab animals, scientists have drawn the inference that the same is true for humans (Jacobs, Schall, Scheibel, 1993). The science of deliberate enrichment, to stimulate the student’s development, is called “brain-based education.” For the preschool child there are fundamentally basic elements that must be a part of their education. These are: helping the preschooler make sense of their world; helping them feel safe and secure; teaching them that learning is fun; and empowering them with a thirst for knowledge that lasts a lifetime. A preschool classroom and environment that uses brain-based education techniques can achieve these elements.Master'sCollege of Arts and Sciences: EducationUniversity of Michiganhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/117770/1/Wind.pd

What does a platypus look like? Generating customized prompts for zero-shot image classification

Open vocabulary models are a promising new paradigm for image classification. Unlike traditional classification models, open vocabulary models classify among any arbitrary set of categories specified with natural language during inference. This natural language, called "prompts", typically consists of a set of hand-written templates (e.g., "a photo of a {}") which are completed with each of the category names. This work introduces a simple method to generate higher accuracy prompts, without using explicit knowledge of the image domain and with far fewer hand-constructed sentences. To achieve this, we combine open vocabulary models with large language models (LLMs) to create Customized Prompts via Language models (CuPL, pronounced "couple"). In particular, we leverage the knowledge contained in LLMs in order to generate many descriptive sentences that are customized for each object category. We find that this straightforward and general approach improves accuracy on a range of zero-shot image classification benchmarks, including over one percentage point gain on ImageNet. Finally, this method requires no additional training and remains completely zero-shot. Code is available at https://github.com/sarahpratt/CuPL

Cerebral dominance and its implications for education: A look at hemisphericity

This paper reviews research on cerebral dominance and considers the relevance of this research to education. Conclusions from research are outlined and the implications of hemisphericity are discussed for educators. The research cited reviews the findings of neuroscientists that specifically relates to the functioning of the two hemispheres of the brain. Materials selected for inclusion in this paper speak to the research that either implies or states strategies that teachers may apply to classroom practice. To facilitate an understanding of the functioning of the two hemispheres, a portion of the paper speaks to the generalized functions of each hemisphere on an individual basis and addresses the need for teaming of both hemispheres for the development of competent, independent, and effective learners
