The document summarizes a study on how young adults in the Netherlands remember their deceased parents through objects. It interviewed 8 participants aged 20-30 who had lost a father or mother. The study categorized the objects into those arranged in living spaces, portable items like jewelry, and audio/video. Key themes included non-conspicuous displays of objects, balancing public and private remembrance, and using mementos to maintain an ongoing relationship with the deceased parent. The young adults preferred subtle displays and combined letting go with still holding onto their parents through cherished objects and memories.

CASE STUDY :
"Overview of Genetics"
Eighteen-year-old Sean Maxwell has always perceived the world in an unusual way. To most people, color is a characteristic of an object—a cherry is red; a hippo, gray. To Sean, colors are much more. When he plays a note on his guitar, or hears it from another instrument, a distinctively colored shape pops into his mind. His brain, while perceiving the note as an E flat or a C sharp, creates an overwhelming feeling of iridescent orange-yellow diamonds, or a single, shimmering sky blue crescent. Soaring crescendos of sound become detailed landscapes, peppered with alternating black and white imagery that parallels the staccato notes. These images flash by his consciousness in such rapid succession that he is barely aware of them, yet they seem to burst through his fingers in the patterns of notes that he plays. Sean has experienced these peculiar specific sound-color-shape associations for as long as he can remember, but never thought much about it. Didn't everyone link music to imagery? Then he reads a science blog about a condition called synesthesia that mixes up the senses. Synesthesia was once thought to be extremely rare, affecting only about 1 in 2000 people. But as more and more “synesthetes” are finding one another through shared strange sensory stories on the Internet, it is becoming clear that possibly as many as 1 in 23 people has some form of the condition. Rather than experiencing it as a disability, synesthetes report that they can actually harness their sensory associations to enhance learning. It isn't surprising that the condition is about eight times more common among artists and novelists than among people in other fields. Sean is so excited by what he's read about synesthesia that he decides to talk about it at dinner when he's home from college one weekend. It's easy to slip it into a discussion, for the Maxwells are a very musical family. Sean's dad, Peter, sings in various cover bands, and Sean is in a band too, playing lead guitar.
“For me, notes have colors. But for most synesthetes, letters or numbers have colors. Or time is colored, maybe days of the week, or months. It gets even stranger. Some people taste triangles or smell colors,” he says between bites.
Sean looks around at his oddly quiet family, who usually interrupt one another constantly. His mom, Ellie, is focusing on her salad, while his 16-year-old sister Keri twirls her finger against her head, as if Sean's lost his mind. But his dad and 12-year-old sister Anna are each holding their forks still and a.

Vitamin G Conference--Stemming the Flow of Cognitive Lava: The Arts and the '...Morgan Appel
In many respects, the ‘gifted brain’ resembles an active volcano on the verge of eruption: swirling, chaotic and yearning for release. Stemming the Flow … explores the neuroscience that fuels everything educators admire about the gifted and talented yet tends to wreak emotional havoc. In an effort to facilitate focus, confidence and competence, this presentation explores the arts as a whole and disaggregated by artistic discipline and defines their specific roles—individually and in concert—in stemming the flow of cognitive lava. Resources and recommendations are disaggregated by grade level and unique attention is paid to special populations within the gifted community, including twice exceptional pupils and those who are diverse linguistically and socioeconomically.
