Somos mais racionais quando pensamos em outros idiomas

Somos mais racionais quando pensamos em outros idiomas Salvatore Vuono / FreeDigitalPhotos.netAo apresentar o estudo The Foreign-Language Effect, o pesquisador Boaz Keysar, da Universidade de Chicago, fez a seguinte pergunta: Would you make the same decisions in a foreign language as you would in your native tongue?  A maior parte das pessoas responderia, intuitivamente, que sim, que tomariam as mesmas decisões, mas será que é mesmo assim?Embora as idéias de que faríamos as mesmas escolhas ou de que seríamos menos sistemáticos quando abordamos questões em uma língua estrangeira sejam plausíveis, Boaz Keysar e a sua equipe descobriram que o uso de uma língua estrangeira leva a que o indivíduo seja mais imparcial, sendo, por isso, mais sistemático, analítico e racional. Estas conclusões foram retiradas dos resultados de quatro experiências, realizadas com mais de 300 voluntários dos Estados Unidos e da Coreia, nas quais os pesquisadores testaram a hipótese de  maior distanciamento emocional e cognitivo quando os assuntos são abordados em um idioma estrangeiro.De acordo com o que foi relatado pelos autores do estudo, no  Psychological Science, nós somos mais racionais quando pensamos e comunicamos em um idioma que não o nosso, pois somos capazes de pesar todos os aspectos de uma questão de forma mais analítica. Isso leva a crer que, quando pensamos em outra língua, conseguimos controlar as emoções e ser mais racionais na hora de tomar decisões. Isto sugere que, na verdade, há uma grande possibilidade de as nossas escolhas serem diferentes quando somos questionados e temos de responder em um idioma estrangeiro.Segundo Boaz Keysar, essa facilidade para colocar as emoções de lado só acontece quando os assuntos em causa não estão diretamente ligados às emoções.  Portanto, pensar em uma segunda língua poderá ajudar a ter uma abordagem mais racional quando é necessário tomar decisões que envolvem questões financeiras, mas não será de grande ajuda se o assunto estiver relacionado c om questões afetivas.

Why I Teach Art...

Why I Teach Art... “Diamonds are created under pressure.”One of my teachers told me this on a day when I was having a particularly hard time finishing an art project at school. I asked her why she said it, and she explained that even in the most difficult moments in our lives, we have the ability to generate sparkling brilliance….like a diamond. A new-found sense of possibility came into my spirit and I was able to create a beautiful sculpture out of the clay that I thought would forever remain a blob on the table!Children have an amazing ability to discover deep feelings and inspiration through creating art. Art allows us all to capture our imaginations and then interpret what we see in our minds eye through clay, paint, photography, tissue paper, mosaics or whatever we can get our hands on and heads around.I believe in teaching Art as if it is not simply the facility of learning how to manipulate a material or a achieving a skill or technique. I teach art as if it is a life lesson, a history le sson and journey to the core of the human soul.Art is a reflection of the human experience, therefore I teach the social and cultural context of an art-form first. Why was this particular art-form important? How did it function within a culture? History? What effect did it have on people?Then we go about learning materials, texture, technique and exploring the creative process….always asking questions and nurturing critical thinking skills along the way.Then we start laying out the piece, using math and geometry to plan how we will display or install the piece when it is finished….discussing what we have learned and what the final piece means to us individually and as a group.I teach children that there is a beginning, middle and end to the process of creating. I teach them to think about how it will be presented, who will the audience be that receives it, and how might people interpret the piece when they see it?In that essence, I tell my students that there are no mistakes in Art, because Art is honest communication. Just like our feelings, every artistic moment is a chance to express what we feel, how strongly we feel, and make a choice about how we will interpret the ways we feel.Being able to take children on such a personal journey is both a great responsibility and tremendous joy. The Arts have the abilty to open our minds, heal our hearts and make the World a more interesting place.That is why I teach ART……

Windows 8 3 Reasons Why You Shouldnt Upgrade

Windows 8 3 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Upgrade Photo from microsoft.com Windows 8 didnt look very new to me â€" and I realized Id been seeing this same interface since the arrival of the Windows Phone. Microsoft is clearly cross-promoting their tablet, phone, Xbox and computer brand.  The new interface, or rather the old interface formerly known as Metro, looks and feels like a touchscreen. Though Im sure Windows 8 works like a dream on convertible Tablet PCs, I still rely on my mousepad and wireless mouse, and the experience is truly sub-par. Windows 8  is made with fingers in mind, not mice. While the Windows 8 interface is very pretty, it is at the price of functionality. 2. A counter-intuitive learning curve For months, I thought that Windows 8 was essentially a faster Windows 7, just with a new start menu. How wrong I was. The system relies on mouse gestures such as moving to the corners to change windows, return to Start, use Charms and more to really work. The system is completely counter-intuitive, especially because it relies on a mobile-based interface. I spent most of the first day using Windows 8 just moving my mouse around and trying to learn all the new quirks. At first, I only had a few questions: Wheres the Control Panel, how do I scroll, etc. Gradually, more and more questions popped up: How do I close this app? How do I delete this tile from Start? Where are the rest of my programs? To top it all off, it took me an agonizing five minutes to figure out how to just shut down the computer. The first day using a new computer should be exciting and uplifting, not frustrating to the point that I want to tear out my hair. Ironically, for a system that simplifies the start menu, Windows 8 simply expects too much from its users. 3. Modern vs. Desktop Apps Windows 8 features new modern apps as its main attraction: users can click tiles on the Start menu that lead to clean, appealing full-screen PC-version mobile-style apps. The desktop is familiar to Windows 7 users, just missing the beloved Start button. Apps that dont have modern counterparts yet simply run on the Desktop. Best of both worlds right? Wrong. Desktop apps dont run in the modern, full-screen experience and vice versa. Switching from a modern app to the Desktop is easy enough, but switching from Desktop to a modern app or even from a modern app to another modern app requires waiting for the loading screen each time. This process wastes time and can become utterly infuriating.  Users now have to remember which apps are running on Desktop and which require the modern interface. Even as an avid Windows lover, Windows 8 has earned two double facepalms from me. While the learning curve might be slightly less steep on a tablet PC, the rest of us traditional PC users are left with the considerably shorter end of the stick. With the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro starting at a discounted $40, I would cautiously urge you to reconsider putting that moolah towards something more useful. Thoughts? Love Windows? Hate it?

Andy Completes the October Language Challenge!

Andy Completes the October Language Challenge! Andy is our new UX Designer and recently joined the italki team in September.  One of the first things he did was join the italki October Language Challenge as he really needs to improve his Chinese as you can tell from his Public Video Pledge.  Hes graciously offered to blog about his experiences and how he is going to conquer the Challenge!  Take it away Andy Yeah! I Made it!!! Im so happy i was finally able to focus an entire month on learning chinese, i really needed it! I always thought that chinese is way to difficult  but it only requires some time and dedication. Looking back at it, it wasnt even so hard. 12 hours per month, or 3 hours per week are something really easy to achieve. The main lesson that i learnt is that i also needed to account time to review the lesson by myself in order to be really efficient with the time i spend with the teacher. This improves the result by a lot, but it also requires more time than i thought. Developing a routine was also useful to achieve the goal. A routine that was working for me, was to wake up earlier and get a class before going to work. Additionally, i was alternating teachers lessons days with personal review days. This also helps you optimize the cost of your learning, at the end of the month i practiced around 20-24 in total, but only 12 of those hours were with a teacher. Overall, it feels great now! I can finally start to have some short conversations with my chinese friends in chinese, but i still have a long time to go before been able to properly hold a more serious discussion. Fortunately, there will be a new language challenge soon! ?? (I have inside information!) Happy learning! Andrea P.S. Check out my AFTER challenge video below!
