Colin Rose developed many of the Accelerated Learning techniques and pioneered how to apply the method for students, teachers and language learners.
However the method is certainly not the work of just one person. Dozens of universities, research psychologists and professional educators have contributed to produce this unique way of learning and presenting new information.
The techniques, for example, incorporate the work of Dr Howard Gardner of Harvard University on Multiple Intelligences, of Arthur Costa from UCLA and others on learning styles and of Nobel prize winners Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein on the brain.
Scientific American Magazine - Special Edition - Frontiers of Physics.2006
Scientific American is a popular-sciencemagazine, published (first weekly and later monthly) since August 28, 1845, making it the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. It brings articles about new and innovative research to the amateur and lay audience.
Scientific American (informally abbreviated to "SciAm") had a monthly circulation of roughly 555,000 US and 90,000 international as of December 2005
. It is a well-respected publication despite not being a peer-reviewedscientific journal, such as Nature; rather, it is a forum where scientific theories and discoveries are explained to a wider audience. In the past scientists interested in fields outside their own areas of expertise made up the magazine's target audience. Now, however, the publication is aimed at educated general readers who are interested in scientific issues. The magazine American Scientistcovers similar ground but at a level more suitable for the professional science audience, similar to the older style of
Scientific American
For the past forty years, linguistics has been dominated by the idea that language is categorical and linguistic competence discrete. It has become increasingly clear, however, that many levels of representation, from phonemes to sentence structure, show probabilistic properties, as does the language faculty. Probabilistic linguistics conceptualizes categories as distributions and views knowledge of language not as a minimal set of categorical constraints but as a set of gradient rules that may be characterized by a statistical distribution. Whereas categorical approaches focus on the endpoints of distributions of linguistic phenomena, probabilistic approaches focus on the gradient middle ground. Probabilistic linguistics integrates all the progress made by linguistics thus far with a probabilistic perspective. This book presents a comprehensive introduction to probabilistic approaches to linguistic inquiry. It covers the application of probabilistic techniques to phonology, morphology, semantics, syntax, language acquisition, psycholinguistics, historical linguistics, and sociolinguistics. It also includes a tutorial on elementary probability theory and probabilistic grammars.
The Acquisition of Verbs and their Grammar : The Effect of Particular Languages (Studies in Theoretical Psycholinguistics)
This volume investigates the linguistic development of children with
regard to their knowledge of the verb and its grammar. The selection of
papers gives empirical evidence from a wide variety of languages
including Hebrew, German, Croatian, Japanese, English, Spanish, Dutch,
Indonesian, Estonian, Russian and French. Findings are interpreted with
a focus on cross-linguistic similarities and differences, without
subscribing to either a UG-based or usage-based approach. Currently
debated topics, such as the role of frequency, as well as traditional
ones such as bootstrapping are integrated into the presentation of
language-specific, learner-specific and more general properties of the
acquisition process. The papers are united by their focus on
discovering what determines rule-governed behavior in language learners
who are coming to terms with the grammar of verbs.
An undergraduate textbook for students who have completed first-year physics and mathematics, covering modern physics in terms accessible to non-physics majors. Covers three main subject areas: general and special relativity, quantum theory, and the nuclear atom. Covers a selection of topics in detail, such as the design and use of lasers.
