Active Learning from Infancy to Childhood

Social Motivation, Cognition, and Linguistic Mechanisms

This book presents new findings on the role of active learning in infants’ and young children’s cognitive and linguistic development. Chapters discuss evidence-based models, identify possible neurological mechanisms supporting active learning, pinpoint children’s early understanding of learning, and trace children’s recognition of their own learning. Chapters also address how children shape their lexicon, covering a range of active learning practices including interactions with parents, teachers, and peers; curiosity and exploration during play; seeking information from other people and their surroundings; and asking questions. In addition, processes of selective learning are discussed, from learning new words and trusting others in acquiring information to weighing evidence and accepting ambiguity. Topics featured in this book include: Infants’ active role in language learning. The process of active word learning. Understanding when and how explanation promotes exploration. How conversations with parents can affect children’s word associations. Evidence evaluation for active learning and teaching in early childhood. Bilingual children and their role as language brokers for their parents. Active Learning from Infancy to Childhood is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians and related professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, educational psychology, and early childhood education.

What Every Woman Should Know About Sharia Law, Before It's Too Late!

What Every Woman Should Know About Sharia Law, Before It's Too late! is an eye-opening expose of the brutal mistreatment of women and children under Islamic sharia law.Women (and males) across the USA will be stunned to learn that the Quran, the Holy Book of Islam, counsels men to beat their wives to keep them obedient. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.Islamic men, under sharia law can beat, or butcher the female members of their families, up to and including murdering them for disobedience. This is known as 'honor killings', a misnomer if there ever was one.With the threat of punishment for displeasing the men in their lives, women and girls may be , beaten, burned by fire or acid, have an extremity or their nose cut off, even be burned or buried alive with NO repercussions to the male involved.Because male-female relationships in the Islamic world are so strict, rape is commonplace in Islamic countries, and usually unpunished. Girls are often forced to marry their rapist or go to jail themselves.Women in Western societies need to realize that they are being targeted for recruitment to Islam, and why. This book explains why this recruitment has been so successful.Some of the topics covered in What Every Woman Should Know About Sharia Law, Before It's Too Late! are:• the Cinderella Complex• the Mystique of the Sheik• sharia law in the USA• Islamic goals for world Domination• taqiyya and kitman• honor killings• polygamy• child brides• bacha• female genital mutilation• and a host of other important topics.This is a book that every woman should read and then share with every woman she knows and loves.
