Mi Theory

Multiple Intelligences (MI) emerged as a critical response to Intelligence Quotients (IQ) which limits the definition of intelligence in logical-mathematical and linguistic areas. The MI theory defines nine intelligence of human being such as (1) the linguistic, (2) the logical-mathematical, (3) the visual-spatial, (4) the kinesthetic, (5) the musical, (6) the interpersonal, (7) the intra-personal, (8) the natural, and (9) the existential. This theory recognizes the fact that every child has his/her own uniqueness and deserves appreciation in his/her education. This is important for the reason that education is a mode of developing students’ potentials in purpose of implementing their caliphate roles and bringing God’s mercy in the world. MI-based learning is an alternative in teaching Islamic education as a school subject in Indonesia. Implementing MI-based learning means implementing interdisciplinary approach in developing learning materials, making use multi-model of learning activities, and authentically assessed the learning itself. This purposes to accommodate the diversity of students’ intelligences.

Light And Shadow

In the cave allegory, Plato illustrates his theory of ideas by showing that the world man senses and tries to understand, actually only is a dim representation of the real world. We know the allegory for its light and shadow; however, there is also sound and echo in the cave. In this article, I discuss whether the narrative of the prisoners in the cave is in tune with an audial experience and whether an allegory led by sound corresponds to the one led by sight. I start with a phenomenological analysis of the cave as a place of sound. After that, I elaborate on the training of attentive listening skills and its ramifications for pedagogical practice. I conclude that there are profound differences between seeing and listening and that sound reveals different aspects of “the real” compared to sight. The significance of Plato’s cave allegory should be evaluated in relation to modern, scientific thought characterised by a visual-spatial language. With support of this allegory, the light-shadow polarity has become the Urbild of represented reality. At the same time, a visually oriented culture of ideas repeatedly confirms Plato’s cave allegory as its central metaphor. Finally, an elaboration on the sounds in the cave proves to be fruitful in an educational sense: The comparison of sound and sight sharpens the differences and complementarities of audial and visual experiences.

The article is dedicated to the revelation of heuristic potential of hermeneutic image conception within discussions on contemporary visual culture. H. G. Gadamer has analysed the image as the visual, spatial and social phenomenon expanding and thereby transforming the accustomed notion of iconic experience. The image is not primarily an object of research for aesthetics and art criticism, but a social phenomenon which has to be considered in its real and imagined character as well as in its interrelations with the lived world structures. By blurring boundaries between art and life in his image theory Gadamer opens up an array of opportunities for the analysis of iconic practices in all their variety: from science to theater.Keywords: Gadamer, image, philosophical hermeneutics, space, agency, social icons Matyti paveikslą – būti pasaulyje: vizualumo, erdviškumo ir veikumo sąryšiai filosofinėje hermeneutikoje Ilya Inishev, Yuliya Biedash Santrauka Straipsnis skirtas atskleisti hermeneutinės paveikslo sąvokos euristinį potencialą šiuolakinėje vizu­alinėje kultūroje. H. G. Gadameris analizavo paveikslą kaip vizualinį, erdvinį ir socialinį reiškinį, išplėsdamas ir sykiu transformuodamas įprastą ikoninio patyrimo sampratą. Paveikslas pirmiausia yra ne estetikos ar meno kritikos tyrinėjimo objektas, o socialinis reiškinys, kuris turi būti vertinamas su jo realiais ir įsivaizduojamais požymiais bei sąryšiais su gyvenamojo pasaulio struktūromis. Savo paveikslo teorijoje suliedamas meno ir gyvenimo ribas, Gadameris atveria aibę galimybių analizuoti pačias įvairiausias vaizdines praktikas – nuo mokslo iki teatro.

Human Nervous System

The task of deciding how long sensory events seem to last is one that the human nervous system appears to perform rapidly and, for sub-second intervals, seemingly without conscious effort. That these estimates can be performed within and between multiple sensory and motor domains suggest time perception forms one of the core, fundamental processes of our perception of the world around us. Given this significance, the current paucity in our understanding of how this process operates is surprising. One candidate mechanism for duration perception posits that duration may be mediated via a system of duration-selective ‘channels’, which are differentially activated depending on the match between afferent duration information and the channels' ‘preferred’ duration. However, this model awaits experimental validation. In the current study, we use the technique of sensory adaptation, and we present data that are well described by banks of duration channels that are limited in their bandwidth, sensory-specific, and appear to operate at a relatively early stage of visual and auditory sensory processing. Our results suggest that many of the computational principles the nervous system applies to coding visual spatial and auditory spectral information are common to its processing of temporal extent.

Simple Filter

Information about the world is captured by our separate senses, and must be integrated to yield a unified representation. This raises the issue of which signals should be integrated and which should remain separate, as inappropriate integration will lead to misrepresentation and distortions. One strong cue suggesting that separate signals arise from a single source is coincidence, in space and in time. We measured increment thresholds for discriminating spatial intervals defined by pairs of simultaneously presented targets, one flash and one auditory sound, for various separations. We report a ‘dipper function’, in which thresholds follow a ‘U-shaped’ curve, with thresholds initially decreasing with spatial interval, and then increasing for larger separations. The presence of a dip in the audiovisual increment-discrimination function is evidence that the auditory and visual signals both input to a common mechanism encoding spatial separation, and a simple filter model with a sigmoidal transduction function simulated the results well. The function of an audiovisual spatial filter may be to detect coincidence, a fundamental cue guiding whether to integrate or segregate.

The Mind

When thought overwhelms the mind, the mind uses the body and the world. Several studies reveal ways that people alone or together use gesture and marks on paper to structure and augment their thought for comprehension, inference, and discovery. The studies show that the mapping of thought to gesture or the page is more direct than the arbitrary mapping to language and suggest that these forms of visual/spatial/action representation are used to “translate” language into mental representations. It is argued that actions in space create patterns in the world that reflect abstractions, that the actions are incorporated into gestures and the patterns into diagrams, a network that integrates gesture, action, the designed world, and abstraction dubbed spraction.

Kinetic Typography

Kinetic typography, which is used firstly in film generics by metaphors created, has become widespread in social, economic and cultural fields such as internet, advertisements, TV with increasing of the need of communication under technological advance and the influence of globalization. The most important factors in the widespread use of this communication tool are that the message that is intended to be conveyed can be presented interactively and the design elements can be manipulated directly in order to create a certain mood in the audience. In kinetic typography, the elements of sound, motion and time present the abstract concepts as concrete and each element is evaluated as a mode (method, tool). Using these elements, the sign system is revealed through the visualization of the language, and all our experiences of the world are represented by creating a visual, spatial and aural environment in kinetic typography. Therefore, it is stated that kinetic typography is not just composed of letter forms, it is also a means of multimodal semiotic expression integrated with abstract concepts such as sound, motion, and color. Since multimodal systems have two or more semiotic tools to fulfil communication, the process of making meaning needs to be analyzed from different angles. The concept of social semiotic, which deals with how people communicate in society, this study has been tried to be carried out by adapting it to the field of visual communication. Expressing how designers portray the physical movement unique to the world in the digital environment is one of the main points of this research. Therefore, by analyzing the applications created with kinetic typography, why and how each design formation was created was expressed by examined in terms of the methods used. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the potential to create meaning with instance examinations in terms of the transitivity system which is a part of social semiotics in kinetic typography which has a multimodal (methodical) structure. Keywords: Typography, kinetic typography, social semiotics, transitivity system

AbstractA pragmatist philosophy of psychological science offers to the direct replication debate concrete recommendations and novel benefits that are not discussed in Zwaan et al. This philosophy guides our work as field experimentalists interested in behavioral measurement. Furthermore, all psychologists can relate to its ultimate aim set out by William James: to study mental processes that provide explanations for why people behave as they do in the world.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
