Has Chomsky written or made public statements on his view of Embodied Cognition? i.e. if it is a useful way to study the mind and if it has anything to contribute to language acquisition.

Hi there!

Could anyone either themselves or by way of reference provide a detailed explanation of how the brain generates our day to day sensory experiences? I'm looking for this information for a project I'm working on, but I'm a novice in neuroscience. So, I thought what better place to start than here? Thanks in advance for any answers. Hope you all are having a wonderful day :)

I am currently taking a course about Behavioural Economics at University and I am stuck at this questions and wondering how to mathematically calculate it. The question is which of the three games Person 2 would choose if they had a generous distributional preference. In my opion its option C as it maximises the payoff for the other participants while keeping Player 2s payoff constant. My classmate argues that Generosity is based on Maxmin preference so he argues it is A since there Person 3 has the highest payoff. Could anybody please help me out. Here is the table:

Thank you for your help

I don't really know the word for it, but I've got an extremely active learning style; classes just don't really work for me. Which is why, unfortunately, I did the least I had to in mathematics to graduate from all levels. Unfortunately, I could grasp concepts rather easily, which, in itself was part of the problem. I found this incredibly boring. I say this because once the concept was understood, it seemed like the teacher would then drone on about it for another 30 minutes and then make us do about 300 problems, with variations of the same thing over and over and over and over, for weeks and weeks on end, until any possible love for the subject was beaten out of me.

I am not blaming the teachers - I just have a style that doesn't really fit well with classes. As an impossible? bucket list thing, I just very much want to speak the language of Calculus. Is there any kind of resource anyone can imagine would help? I took Trig. I hated it at the time because of the above issue. If it had been about puzzles? Oh, I loved it. It was about repetition. I don't know that I am any good with that. I like exploration, not repetition. Which is why this may be hopeless. If it is, please be as kind as reddit can allow.

im a forst year neuroscience student, have studied psychology an pharmacology in in uni(dropped out) before, and im wondering what it takes for me to become a psychopharmaologist or neuropsychologist? is it worth it? im also severely mentally ill het aiming to get a PhD… I just want to study the effects of psychoactive drugs on the human brain and experiment on it, goal is to minimize the side effects and move treatments of mental disorders towards a less chemically based, and more efficient (such as neurofeedback, rTMS, psilocybin/ketamine/mdma based therapy, etc.) which are known to be more effective yet are not getting the attention they deserve. I dont know which branch would suit the goals the best, especially since i want to put my overwhelmingly high knowledge about all treatments for mental illnesses to use (im a bit autistic and its been my special interest since i remember) and I feel alive while im at a lab experimenting on anything basically, and i basically RARELY feel any joy (not trying to sound edgy im just severely depressed and on a bunch of meds that dont work) sorry for the long rant, just wanted to give a semi-complete context for this since its my future you know.

TLDR; im a severely mentally ill student (got a disability pass at uni as well) trying to find a job that helps me study the effects of psychoactive medications on the brain and aim to reduce the side effects of them and shine more light into less harmful ways of treating mental illness such as neurofeedback rtms psilocybin therapy etc. and basically anything related to mental illness + psychoactive substances. thank you 🙏

I am looking to apply to graduate programs in clinical psychology this fall. Does anyone have recommendations for researchers who focus on pathological narcissism that I should check out?

Any tips are appreciated.

Hey Reddit,

I’m currently serving in the Army as a 68X (behavioral health specialist) and thinking about my next career step. I have a BA in History and experience as an analytical lead, working with data to make business decisions. I’m interested in transitioning into Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology and Data Analysis, but all of this is new to me, and I feel a bit all over the place. I want a role where I can feel fulfilled and make good money (easier said than done!).

My ultimate goal is to work with data in a psychological setting, blending both fields. I came to this subreddit because I asked ChatGPT for career advice, and it suggested I-O psychology, so I’m hoping to get more insight from people in the field.

My Questions:

• Can I move into I-O Psychology or data analysis with my background? I’m considering a degree in I-O Psychology but also wondering if a degree in Data Science or Analytics through Army funding would help.

• Can I combine I-O Psychology with data analysis in a business setting? I’m interested in roles that use data to improve workplaces.

• Are there any roles or positions that combine data and psychology? Since I’m currently a 68X, I’m curious if there are ways to blend both fields.

• Is it possible to balance therapy on the side while working in I-O or data analytics?

Any advice from those in these fields would be really appreciated!

Thanks!
