Formal operations and postformal reasoning: A replication

1991

The relationship between formal operations and postformal reasoning was examined by using the Shayer (1978) chemicals problem to assess formal operations and the Commons, et al. (1982) four-story problem to measure postformal reasoning. The subjects were 35 undergraduate social science and humanities students. None of the subjects who were classified as concrete operational or transitional on the chemicals task showed postformal reasoning. The hypothesis that full format operations are a necessary condition of post-formal reasoning and the expectation that subjects showing full formal operations are more likely than others to exhibit postformal reasoning was not supported.

Long-term effects of delayed motherhood in mice on postnatal development and behavioural traits of offspring

2003

BACKGROUND: Some epidemiological evidence tentatively suggests that children born to older parents may have lower intellectual development and maturity than children whose parents are younger. This study aims to analyse the long-term effects of delayed motherhood in mice on postnatal development and behavioural traits later in life. METHODS: Hybrid females, either at the age of 10 weeks or 51 weeks, were individually housed with a randomly selected 12-14 week old hybrid male. After a postweaning resting period of 1 week, dams were caged again with a new randomly selected 12-14 week old male. This sequence of events was repeated until old females reached the end of their reproductive life. R…

Ewolucja ludzkości według Hoene-Wrońskiego

2017

The aim of this article is to recall and, at the same time, to update, the theory of the evolution of humanity by Josef Hoëné-Wronski. I am trying to show that the author of Metapolitics (Métapolitique messianique) and of other philosophical and mathematical works was much ahead of his contemporaries concerning his ideas about evolution and these ideas, although expressed in a somewhat archaic and obscure language, are still valid for us today. Hoëné-Wronski has boldly challenged the deterministic picture of the world emerging from modern science and has derived human evolution from the moral and rational development of human beings. He divided it into seven stages. My interpretation of Hoë…

Survivors of childhood cancer for more than twenty years.

2001

Present health status, complications, and development of long-term survivors of childhood cancer followed for more than 20 years in a single institution were reviewed. The departmental database was searched to identify patients diagnosed with childhood cancer and consequently treated between 1965 and 1978. A total of 124 (77%) long-term survivors participated on a voluntary basis in the study. A semi-standardized interview consisted of measures evaluating the present health condition, sequelae of treatment, second malignancies, intellectual development and presence of offspring of the former patients. The majority of patients were treated with chemotherapy (82%). 67% received radiotherapy a…

PEDAGOGICAL PROCESS FACILITATING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OF PRE-SCHOOLERS

2019

The research covers analysis of theoretical literature on significance of physical activities in the development of child’s integrity, as it is a well-known fact that child is researcher and his/her activity is manifested through movement. Child gets his first impressions about surrounding world through movement – the more diverse motions are, the more information is acquired, and the more intense is intellectual development thereof. However, quite often pedagogical process does not consider the specific factors facilitating capacity of child’s physical, functional, motion and mental development. To conduct the research, an aim was set to study physical activity of children in pre-school an…

Kształtowanie intuicji matematycznych w trakcie pozaszkolnej aktywności dziecka

Rodzice jako partnerzy procesu rozbudzania dziecięcej aktywności matematycznej

2017

Children learn in a spontaneous and continuous way: when they look at an object, paying more attention to it, or when they notice something accidentally, when they perform simple actions of daily routine, or even when they turn to a grown-up with a question. Therefore, forming proper mathematical intuition should not be limited merely to activities at school, but should proceed natural, also during everyday activities, while playing games or talking to other children or the parents. The individual’s own activity plays a particular role in the development of mathematical skills in children. And it is parents who have the greatest say as regards the lines along which the child’s activity is d…
