Can Cognitive Training Make You Smarter?: Interview with Author Dan Hurley
By
Scott Barry Kaufman
Dan Hurley is one of my favorite science journalists. Not only does he write about issues that interest me, but he doesn't sacrifice the nuance, or the humor. Dan's popular feature in The New York Times Magazine, "Can You Make Yourself Smarter?" brilliantly presented multiple perspectives in the cognitive training debate. In his latest book, "Smarter: The New Science of Building Brain Power", Dan expanded his investigation of the cognitive training literature and also reviewed other interventions that attempt to increase intelligence. I highly recommend the book for anyone who wants to see how science works (i.e., how messy it really is behind the scenes), including its real human dimension. Hits: 502 )

The ten tough questions to ask your training vendor
By
Michael Wilkinson
If you are a typical purchaser considering a facilitation training class to attend or to have taught in-house, there are probably lots of standard questions you would a sk the training vendor. Common questions might include: What topics are taught? What are the desired outcomes? How long is the class? How much does it cost? Can it be customized? Based on these basic questions, you could very easily conclude that facilitation classes are pretty similar, so you might as well choose the least expensive or the most convenient in terms of location.

The Teachable Moment
By
James Neal
Experience and learning seems to happen in fits, stops, and starts. Sometimes it seems one is going nowhere or even backwards. Other times there is steady, plodding progress. And yet other times seem to be peak learning moments, when everything comes together. Such crescendous learning moments are often very memorable. As people look back over their lives they often note their watershed learning experiences - their first kiss, love, death, achievements, etc. Just prior to significant learning moments, one sits at the eye of the storm, having experienced the ups and downs and arounds, there is suddenly only pure curiosity and confidence in flowing with the task/problem/challenge. This state may be experienced as flow (or optimal arousal). In such moments, an individually is primed for discovering and developing a new understanding of a phenomena. It is a "teachable moment".
