“国际科学书系”与达尔文主义的传播

在本文中我考察了“国际科学书系”作为出版界的一个独特的试验,在它存在的过程中是否传播了达尔文主义关于科学与宗教的关系的观念。赫胥黎、丁铎尔、斯宾塞和尤曼斯是国际科学书系创办之初的关键人物,他们都是进化论的自然主义者,对于科学与宗教的关系共同持有一种复杂的看法。虽然国际科学书系最初是一个致力于传播进化论自然主义的出版项目,但我将论证,到19世纪80年代初,当该系列最初的创办者们丧失对它的控制时,一条新的路线方针被建立起来。     

Memory and mental images in verbal deficit modification

Conclusion Available evidence suggests that human memory and thought are extremely complex and dependent on duration, modality, and brain function. By using unusual modalities and specific visual strategies for remembering and for problem solving it is possible to achieve great success. We should keep this in mind for our educational systems so that students’ non-verbal and other unusual thought processes can be used to increase the potential of human thought. Our present verbally oriented schools should not prevent geniuses with visual or other forms of thinking from achieving their full potential. Indeed, the total thinking power of even an average person can also be expanded.
