Students in the past have commented that there is
TOO MUCH INFORMATION
available on the class Moodle and supporting WebSites.
Yes, there is a lot of information, no doubt about it, and it can be confusing at first. It’s helpful when starting out to remember that the required information for the course is contained in the middle panel of your HomePage. The information in the sidebars and many of the links are there should you find those interesting and/or helpful; that material is not required.

How many senses do we have anyway ? . . .

Parade Column - February 24, 2008

We’re taught in school that we have five senses: vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Yet we also feel pain—and hunger, for that matter. Aren’t they senses too?
—Brian Dozier, Cincinnati, Ohio

In addition to the usual five that we’re taught, humans have receptors for pressure, temperature, pain, balance and motion. So we have a total of 10 senses. But hunger is not one of them. Rather, it’s a motivation or desire, like sex. Well, not quite like sex.

Parade Column - February 24, 2008

We’re taught in school that we have five senses: vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Yet we also feel pain—and hunger, for that matter. Aren’t they senses too?
—Brian Dozier, Cincinnati, Ohio

In addition to the usual five that we’re taught, humans have receptors for pressure, temperature, pain, balance and motion. So we have a total of 10 senses. But hunger is not one of them. Rather, it’s a motivation or desire, like sex. Well, not quite like sex.

. . . Questions to Think About . . .

How man senses do we have?
- Wha's the nature of the concepts/percepts beyond the five "standard" senses?
With visual agnosia there were percepts but no visual concepts
With synesthesia there were percepts and concepts, except that the concepts got mixed up and didn't "match up" properly with the percepts
What about ESP--Extra-Sensory-Perception?
- Can we have concepts without percepts?
What is the role of whatever is already "in" the brain in concept formation?
- Remember the wheat fields in Personality: All About Me?
- And, more specifically, what is the role of language in concept formation?
  - And evenmore specifically, what is the role of linguistic categories (linguistic concepts) in concept formation?
- How Can We Stlil Raed Words Wehn Teh Lettres Are Jmbuled Up? -- ScienceDaily (15 March 2013)

Optical Illusions

Percepts are formulated into erroneous concepts

Correct Percepts and Concepts of non-existent "things"

e.g., one's mental processing of a galaxy in the sky

Pure fantasy

No percepts, but concepts

"Phantom Pain"

residual concepts, but no current concepts, but current pain

How can both the percepts and concepts be manipulated to create altered states of consciousness?

Orientation to Cog-nition: Per-ception and Con-ception
- Cogito ergo sum
"Latin: 'I am thinking, therefore I exist', or traditionally 'I think, therefore I am') is a philosophical statement by René Descartes, which became a foundational element of Western philosophy. 'Cogito ergo sum' is a translation of Descartes' original French statement: 'Je pense, donc je suis', which occurs in his Discourse on Method (1637)."

René Descartes (1596–1650)

"Although the idea expressed in 'cogito ergo sum' is widely attributed to Descartes, many predecessors offer similar arguments—particularly St. Augustine of Hippo in De Civitate Dei (books XI, 26), who also anticipates modern refutations of the concept. (See Principles of Philosophy, §7: 'Ac proinde haec cognitio, ego cogito, ergo sum, est omnium prima et certissima etc.')." -- Wikipedia

The Woman Who Thinks Like a Cow: The world's most famous person with autism uses her unusual cognitive abilities to reduce animal suffering -- BBC (49 min. 2006)

"This fascinating program introduces Temple Grandin, who is autistic. She is also a leading professor in her field—animal science. Temple has shattered expectations of what autistic people can achieve, and her latest theory is just as groundbreaking. She believes the autistic mind is closer to the animal mind than the typical human mind. Temple describes herself as someone who thinks in pictures, in the same way animals do. Just as animals can find it hard to learn general principles, autistic people can have difficulty understanding abstract concepts that cannot be visualized. But they can also exhibit specialist skills beyond the capability of people with normal brains." A BBC Production.

What Do Animals Think?: Temple Grandin says animals think like autistic humans. She should know -- Discover (01 May 2005)

"If brain tissue is damaged or does not develop fully, the ventricles—vessels filled with cerebrospinal fluid, shown in blue in this image based on neuroimaging work—expand to fill the space. Temple Grandin’s enlarged left ventricle is a sign of abnormalities in her left hemisphere, which typically handles language, and may account for the difficulties she has with processing words."

"Last night I dreamed I was a butterfly.

How do I know that I am not a butterfly now dreaming I'm a man ?"

"Once Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know he was Zhuangzi. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuangzi. But he didn't know if he was Zhuangzi who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuangzi. Between Zhuangzi and a butterfly there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things." -- (2, tr. Burton Watson 1968:49)

and intersex* individuals,
a universally occurring group of individuals who live in special cultural worlds

(*formerly sometimes incorrectly known as hermaphrodites)

intersexuality = 0.018% = 18/100,000, but this can include genotypical-only individuals
individuals with phenotypical M/F traits have been estimated at ca. 1/200,000-1/250,000 in the U.S.A.

How do you deal with something that has a
frequency occurrence rate of 0.018% = 18 / 100,000,
including genotpic traits,
and about 1 / 200,000 — 1 / 250,000 for phenotypic traits ?

2. formulate a hypothesis
(expected relationship) for your research

3. outline the research methods
you would use in your study

(26 of 59 min., 1980, VC 182)

course viewing guide

N!ai.

"N!ai was born in April of 1942, the only child of Di!ai and Gumza. Di!ai, her mother, had been married once before to a man named ≠Toma. They had had two children, both of whom died, and ≠Toma was murdered in a fight in 1938. In 1940, Di!ai married Gumza, N!ai’s father, a man from a group across the border in Botswana (then Bechuanaland). Soon after N!ai was born, her parents were divorced, in part because Gumza did not get along with Di!ai’s older sister, a sharp-tongued woman named !U. Di!ai also said she felt lonely for her own people, and so she went home to Gautscha when Gumza returned to Botswana. In 1944, Di!ai remarried, to a man named Kxao. Kxao already had a wife, but because he was considered a steady man, Di!ai was willing to accept the role of co-wife." -- N!ai Study Guide, p. 3

course viewing guide

What things have changed among the Yanomamö since the filming of Magical Death and Children's Magical Death?
Will this likely change the modal personality of the Yanomamö?
Can adult personality change?
- If so, what kinds of experiences will result in an adult change of personality?
Compare the things the Amish control to control change with those same items in the Ocamo Yanomamö culture
- What didn't the Ocamo Yanomamö control?
- What are the apparent consequences of that?
Remember how the Amish consciously select the items they want to change, rather than let technological change or any other kind of change overcome and overwhelm them. And in doing that they control lots of things in order to control the rate of change and thus the forces and conditions that might result in a change in personality and/or world view. How is the situation different among the Ocamo Yanomamö?

Disruptive behavior includes inappropriate use of technology in the classroom. Examples include ringing cell phones, text-messaging, watching videos, playing computer games, doing email, or surfing the Internet on your computer instead of note-taking or other instructor-sanctioned activities." — UMD Educational Policy Committee, Jill Jensen, Chair (08/16/2007)

Instructor and Student Responsibilities Policy

AVISO!

A Note on Extra Credit Papers

Failure to comply with the above codes and standards when submitting an Extra Credit paper will result in a penalty commensurate with the lapse, up to and including an F final grade for the course, and, at a minimum, a reduction in total points no fewer than the points available for the Extra Credit project. The penalty will not simply be a zero for the project, and the incident will be reported to the UMD Academic Integrity Officer in the Office of Student and Community Standards.

A Note on "Cutting and Pasting" without the Use of Quotation Marks
(EVEN IF you have a citation to the source somewhere in your paper)

If you use others' words and/or works you MUST so indicate that with the use of quotation marks. Failure to use quotation marks to indicate that the materials are not of your authorship constitutes plagiarism—even if you have a citation to the source elsewhere in your paper/work.

Patterned failure to so indicate that the materials are not of your own authorship will result in an F grade for the course.

Other instances of improper attribution will result in a 0 (zero) for the assignment (or a reduction in points equal to the value of an Extra Credit paper), and a reduction of one grade in the final grade of the course.

All incidents will be reported to the UMD Academic Integrity Officer in the Office of Student and Community Standards as is required by University Policy.

Students with Disabilities

It is the policy and practice of the University of Minnesota Duluth to create inclusive learning environments for all students, including students with disabilities. If there are aspects of this course that result in barriers to your inclusion or your ability to meet course requirements – such as time limited exams, inaccessible web content, or the use of non-captioned videos – please notify the instructor as soon as possible. You are also encouraged to contact the Office of Disability Resources to discuss and arrange reasonable accommodations. Please call 218-726-6130 or visit the DR website at www.d.umn.edu/access for more information.
