The document discusses food caching behavior in Clark's nutcracker birds. The birds store over 33,000 seeds in thousands of caches and are able to recover the caches in the winter. Food caching is only useful if the birds can remember where the caches are located. Research shows the birds do not search randomly or rely on typical locations, smells, or visual cues when recovering caches. Their caching and recovery abilities suggest the birds may have episodic memory, allowing them to remember detailed episodes of what items were cached, where, and when.

324 12 3 special topics tool use language
Crows in New Caledonia were observed using tools to obtain food in ways greater than chance would predict, such as using sticks of varying lengths to reach food in tubes or bending metal strips to form hooks. While tool use could be explained by reinforcement or social learning, the crows were also able to fabricate tools on their own, suggesting an innate predisposition. Studies of primates and birds provide evidence of complex cognition and intelligence in non-human animals, sparking research on comparative cognition and questions around the origins and uniqueness of human language.

Some potential pitfalls are ensuring learners can understand and that content is culturally appropriate. The document provides examples of using songs for different skills and levels. It also lists some useful websites for finding songs to use in language learning.
Using songs in the efl classroom
The document discusses using songs in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom. It provides rationales for using songs such as affective, cognitive, linguistic, social, and cultural reasons. Songs are authentic English, active, have lots of vocabulary, are adaptable, transmit culture, are repetitive, and are up to date. They can be used to practice listening, introduce topics, reinforce grammar, and practice pronunciation. The document also lists disadvantages and provides examples of different types of songs and activities that can be done with songs.
How to teach english through songs
The document provides guidance on teaching songs to students. It recommends focusing on listening activities and outlines steps for pre-listening, while listening, and post-listening. Some tips for choosing songs include considering difficulty level, quality of recording, and student interests. Pre-listening should introduce vocabulary and get students thinking about the song. While listening can include filling blanks, ordering words, and true/false questions. Post-listening activities may involve writing assignments related to the song such as letters or diaries.
Using Songs in Language Teaching
Songs can be a useful tool in teaching young language learners. They provide variety, help improve listening skills and pronunciation, and aid in vocabulary acquisition. Songs also make learning enjoyable and help create a relaxed classroom environment. However, teachers must select songs carefully to match the target language structures and avoid songs with complex or unfamiliar language. While fun, songs alone are not enough for communication and must be supplemented with other activities.
Using Songs in the English Classroom
Songs can be a useful tool in language learning. They improve concentration, memory, motivation and make learning fun. Songs contain simple language, repetition, and a slower rate of speech which aids comprehension and memorization of new vocabulary and grammar. There are many types of songs that can be used, from nursery rhymes to pop music, and techniques like focusing on specific words, stopping to guess words, and acting out songs help engage students. Using music regularly, even just once a week, can benefit students and help them enjoy learning.

Psyc 321_14 surveys
This document discusses different types of questions that can be used in questionnaires and surveys, including open-ended questions, fixed alternative questions, Likert-type scaling questions, and semantic differentials. It also covers considerations for survey administration such as question order effects, sensitive questions, response rates, and biases from different administration methods like face-to-face, telephone, mail, and computer surveys. The overall topic is methods for developing and administering effective questionnaires and surveys in developmental research.
Psyc 321_13 ethics
This document discusses ethics in developmental research. It outlines the rights of both scientists and subjects. For subjects, it discusses the rights to not be harmed, to learn, and to experience discomfort only with consent. It also discusses how to protect subjects through voluntary participation, informed consent, privacy, and oversight from Institutional Review Boards. The document notes some past unethical experiments and debates issues like deception, debriefing, and the study of nonhuman subjects.
Psyc 321_12 small n research
Small N research involves studying individual subjects to gain a deeper understanding of individual differences compared to group analysis. It uses experimental single-subject designs where the subject acts as their own control to establish a pattern of behavior and observe how that pattern changes when an intervention is introduced. Common small N designs include the simple AB design with a baseline and intervention phase, reversal designs like ABA to introduce baseline periods again, and multiple baseline designs that stagger the introduction of an intervention across subjects to control for external factors.
Psyc 321_11 quasi experimentation
This document discusses various quasi-experimental research methods, including archival studies, time series designs, single group pre-post tests, interrupted time series, multiple time series, cohort designs, ex-post facto designs, correlational designs, and naturalistic studies. Quasi-experimental designs aim to detect effects but have lower internal validity than true experiments. They also have limitations in determining causality due to the lack of random assignment to conditions. The document provides examples and explanations of these different quasi-experimental research methods.
psyc 321_10 experimental ecology
This document discusses issues that can impact experimental validity in ecological research, including:
1) Bias from experimenters that can influence data collection and interactions with subjects. Multiple observers and operational definitions can help address this.
2) Subject factors like the Hawthorne effect and demand characteristics that influence participant behavior and threaten validity. Blinding techniques and deception can help control for these influences.
3) Cultural biases from the experimenters' perspective that fail to account for diversity among subjects. Including diverse participants is important to address this.
Psyc 321_09 within groups
This document discusses within-groups or repeated measures designs. In within-groups designs, the same group of participants receives all levels of the independent variable. The key advantages are that all groups are equal at the beginning and the design is very sensitive to changes. Disadvantages include potential carryover effects and sensitivity to time variables like practice and fatigue. Counterbalancing techniques like Latin squares can help control for order effects. Mixed designs combine within- and between-groups approaches to rule out carryover effects while maintaining control. Matched subjects designs aim to reduce error variance by matching and randomly assigning participants.
Psyc 321_07 control
This document discusses control in developmental research methods. It explains that control is established through careful selection of participants and random assignment to conditions. Random assignment balances any differences between groups to minimize confounding variables. True experiments use both random selection and assignment to control for threats to internal validity like history, maturation, and testing effects. Different experimental designs, like the Solomon four-group design, allow researchers to rule out additional validity threats.
psyc 321_06 threats to validity and control
The document discusses testing hypotheses in developmental research methods. It explains that there are two types of variation: systematic and unsystematic. Systematic variation can come from the independent variable or from confounding variables. There are also two types of errors in hypothesis testing: type I errors in which the null hypothesis is falsely rejected, and type II errors in which it is falsely retained. Various threats to internal validity are outlined, including history, maturation, instrumentation, selection, testing effects like pretest sensitization, and mortality. Ways to control for threats include random assignment, pilot studies, blinding subjects, using distracter items, and standardizing conditions.
Psyc 321_05 introduction to stats
basic statistics in the social sciences - not a full blown analysis, just a presentation about the topic(s) in research methods.
Psyc 321_04 numerical description
This document discusses numerical description in developmental research methods. It describes different types of scales used to measure variables, including nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales. It also discusses distributions, measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), variation (range, variance, standard deviation), standard scores, correlation, and examples of positive, negative and no correlation.
Psyc 321_03 hypotheses
This document discusses the traits of effective hypotheses for developmental research. Hypotheses should be testable using available technology and methods of measurement. They should also be concrete by including operational definitions that allow for measurement. The document contrasts inductive reasoning, where hypotheses are formed based on observations and evidence, with deductive reasoning, where a theory is used to predict observations and hypotheses. Effective hypotheses can come from existing problems, research, theories, or anywhere.
Psyc 321_02 methods of_science
This document discusses several key methods of science: naturalistic observation which involves non-intrusively observing populations without influencing them; correlational approaches which relate variables mathematically without implying causation; experimental methods which test hypotheses using experimental and control groups; and operational definitions which clearly define variables. It also discusses independent and dependent variables, confounds, validity, reliability, and the scientific attitude which values falsification, testability, skepticism, and parsimony.
Psyc 321_01 what is science
This document discusses different aspects of science as a way of knowing. It explains that science involves observing phenomena to develop facts, and emphasizes doubt and questioning existing beliefs. While science is a powerful way to evaluate knowledge, it also discusses other ways of knowing like tenacity, authority, reason, and common sense. The document then outlines different scientific approaches like naturalistic observation, correlation, experimentation, post-hoc analysis, and qualitative and quantitative methods. Overall, it provides an overview of what science is and different methodologies used.
324 12 2 special topics timing
This document discusses timing in human learning. It defines timing as identifying when time has passed and responding differently. It describes techniques for studying timing, including duration estimation tasks and peak procedures. The peak procedure demonstrates how introducing a break in the stimulus shifts the peak of responding. Finally, the document outlines cognitive and behavioral theories of timing, such as scalar expectancy theory involving a pacemaker, switch and accumulator, and theories involving adjunctive waiting behaviors.
324 10 observational learning
This document discusses observational learning, which is a change in behavior that occurs due to observing and watching the behavior of others. It describes classical conditioning studies where observers showed conditioning responses after watching a model receive shocks or eye blink conditioning. The document also discusses operant observational learning studies using monkeys and cats. It reviews factors that influence observational learning like the characteristics of the model and consequences received by the model. Finally, it briefly discusses theories of observational learning like social cognitive theory and Miller-Dollard modeling.
324 09 avoidance
This document discusses discriminated avoidance learning in humans and animals. It describes how a warning signal prompts an avoidance response to prevent or remove an aversive stimulus. The dominant two-process theory explains that classical conditioning creates a fear response to the warning signal, and operant conditioning reinforces the avoidance response because it reduces this fear. The avoidance response is maintained because it allows escape from the conditioned fear response, not because it directly prevents the aversive stimulus.
324 7 part 2 extinction
The document discusses different aspects of extinction in human learning, including renewal where a response can reemerge in a new context, reinstatement where presenting the unconditioned stimulus can cause relearning, and ways to reduce recovery of the extinguished response such as using multiple extinction trials close together or presenting extinction cues in different contexts. It also notes that extinction is not permanent and does not completely erase the association between the conditioned and unconditioned stimuli.
324 06 stimulus control
The document discusses stimulus control and generalization in human learning. It describes how training with a specific stimulus can result in responding to similar but different stimuli, known as stimulus generalization. The strength of responding typically follows a normal curve, with strongest responding to the original trained stimulus and decreasing response strength as the stimuli vary further from the training stimulus. An example of semantic generalization is given where words paired with snacks come to elicit salivation in response to synonyms and homophones of the original words.
324 11 limits of learning
This document discusses several limits of learning, including physical characteristics, the non-heritability of learned behavior contrary to Lamarckian evolution, and the influence of heredity on learning ability as seen when comparing wolves and dogs. Additionally, it addresses how neurological damage from factors like neurotoxins, low socioeconomic status leading to exposure to lead paint, and head injuries can impact learning by damaging neurological functions. Critical periods of development and imprinting are also covered, alongside the concepts of instinctive drift and an organism's preparedness or resistance to certain types of learning.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
“I’m still / I’m still / Chaining from the Block”

- 2. Comparative Cognition Very complex behavior Complex cognitive interpretations exist Must consider basic processes first Think parsimony
- 3. Food caching Storage of food Later recovery How do they remember? Clark’s nutcracker Stores 33,000 seeds, in thousands of caches Recovers them in the dead of winter
- 4. Food caching Only useful if you remember Only useful if you get the food Decrease caching in presence of observer
- 5. How does it work? Are they searching randomly? Are they storing food in ‘typical’ locations? No and No 180 cups Some cups open Sand covered Rocks and things No smelling Raked sand
- 6. Episodic Memory? Remembering episodes Detailed recollection of an event What, when and where Possible explanation for caching/recovery Birds learned to cache different items Remembered where those items were Remembered what those items were Worms vs peanuts Remembered when those items were stored Ate the worms first
