Understanding Scientific text Scientific text uses different mental models than narrative text, and we are less skilled at using them. Scientific text that is structured in ways most similar to narrative text will be the easiest to process. Gaps in the text that require us to make inferences determine how easily the text can be understood. First of all, a reminder about situation models. A situation, or mental, model is a retrieval structure you construct from a text, integrating the information in the text with your existing knowledge. Your understanding of a text depends on its coherence; it’s generally agreed that for a text to be coherent it must be possible for a single situation model to be constructed from it (which is not to say a text that is coherent is necessarily coherent for you — that will depend on whether or not you can construct a single mental model from it). There are important differences in the situation models constructed for narrative and expository t...

How to charm people Humans often overlook the most obvious things about other humans—and I start with myself in making that judgment.So even though I know a fair amount about people, I can overlook basic things because I am caught up in the interplay that is humanity. When average people run into a highly charismatic,what is it that they recall about the person? Everyone who has an encounter with a decidedly charismatic person recounts the story in very similar fashion, regardless of whether the encounter went well or ended in tragedy. Whether it was, “He made me feel as though I was the only person in the room,”or “He made me feel as though he was divine,”it is always about a feeling and not facts. Followers of Charles Manson, David Koresh, and many other leaders of both cults and genuine religious sects have described their leaders as gods or godlike, just like this man who followed the Maharaji: “I believed he was the living incarnation of God,”said Joe Whalen in his pos...

I know you don’t know what you will be learning, but you have those excuses all lined up, don’t you? Take time to really think about your excuses and write them down. These are the same excuses that you use every time to stop yourself from learning anything new. You can have success or excuses, but you can’t have them both.

Children need a minimum of eight  touches during a day to feel connected to a parent. If they’re going through a particularly challenging time, it’s a minimum of 12 a day. This doesn’t have to be a big deal; it could be the straightening of a collar, a pat on the shoulder or a simple hug. 2. Each day, children need one meaningful eye-to-eye conversation with a parent. It is especially important for babies to have that eye contact, but children of all ages need us to slow down and look them in the eyes. 3. There are nine minutes during the day that have the greatest impact on a child: the first three minutes right after they wake up the three minutes after they come home from school the last three minutes of the day before they go to bed We need to make those moments special and help our child...
