The Dynamics and Social Outcomes of Education Systems (Education, Economy and Society)The Dynamics and Social Outcomes of Education Systems (Education, Economy and Society)

Some scholars argue that education systems across the western world are becoming increasingly similar due to the influence of transnational discourses and organizations. Others believe that education is the panacea for all problems of social cohesion. After all, aren't the well-educated usually more tolerant, civically engaged and trusting than the poorly educated?

Linguistic Attractors: The Cognitive Dynamics of Language Acquisition and Change

Linguistic Attractors: The Cognitive Dynamics of Language Acquisition and ChangeThe interdisciplinary linguistic attractor model portrays language processing as linked sequences of fractal sets, and examines the changing dynamics of such sets for individuals as well as the speech community they comprise. Its motivation stems from human anatomic constraints and several artificial neural network approaches. It uses general computation theory to: (1) demonstrate the capacity of Cantor-like fractal sets to perform as Turing Machines; (2) better distinguish between models that simply match outputs ("emulation") and models that match both outputs and internal dynamics ("simulation"); and (3) relate language processing to essential computation steps executed in parallel. .

Traffic - Why We Drive the Way We Do (And What It Says About Us)Traffic - Why We Drive the Way We Do (And What It Says About Us)

Would you be surprised that road rage can be good for society? Or that most crashes happen on sunny, dry days? That our minds can trick us into thinking the next lane is moving faster? Or that you can gauge a nation’s driving behavior by its levels of corruption? These are only a few of the remarkable dynamics that Tom Vanderbilt explores in this fascinating tour through the mysteries of the road.
