Mosaic Cognitive Evolution: The case of imitation learningFrancys Subiaul
This document discusses the evolution of the human imitation faculty. It proposes that imitation evolved in a mosaic fashion, with different imitation mechanisms evolving to copy different types of stimuli, like motor actions versus sounds. This is opposed to the view that imitation is a single, general mechanism. The document outlines a "multiple imitation hypothesis," where humans have a suite of distinct imitation mechanisms or "instincts" that allow flexible imitation across domains. These include mechanisms for familiar imitation of known behaviors and novel imitation or "imitation learning" of new behaviors. The evolution of different imitation mechanisms in humans versus other apes may explain differences in their imitation abilities.
Mirra comenzó como asociación en 2003 con el objetivo de promover el liderazgo de la mujer y defender su responsabilidad en la propia evolución. Su inicio se remonta a 1997 cuando un grupo de mujeres querían conocer el origen de sus decisiones a través de la introspección. Mirra trabaja para que cada mujer haga consciente sus barreras internas y exprese su potencial y belleza de forma libre.
This document discusses the key concepts of domain-driven design (DDD), including ubiquitous language, bounded contexts, entities, value objects, aggregates, aggregate roots, persistence ignorance, repositories, and domain services. It explains that DDD takes a top-down approach, focusing on the domain model first before technical implementation. It emphasizes establishing a shared language between developers and business stakeholders and dividing large applications into independent bounded contexts to improve modularity.

El documento resume brevemente la historia del automóvil desde sus orígenes en vehículos de vapor en el siglo XVIII hasta los principales hitos y empresas automotrices en los siglos XIX y XX. Se describe la evolución tecnológica del automóvil y cómo pasó de ser un juguete para ricos a principios del siglo XX a ser popularizado por Henry Ford con su Modelo T y la producción en cadena. También se mencionan algunas de las principales marcas como Citroën, Volkswagen, Renault, Peugeot, Fiat y el origen de Henry Ford
The document summarizes the perspectives of different groups on the Indian independence movement led by Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress. Plantation workers in Assam saw "swaraj" as freedom of movement. Gandhi's Salt March in 1930 sparked large-scale civil disobedience against British salt taxes. While farmers were disappointed the movement didn't reduce land taxes, businessmen wanted independence to grow their businesses free of British restrictions. Women participated widely but the Congress was reluctant to give them leadership roles.

Becoming a high-fidelity--Super--Imitator: What are the contributions of soci...Francys Subiaul
In contrast to other primates, human children’s imitation performance goes from low- to high-fidelity soon after infancy. Are such changes associated with the development of other forms of learning? We addressed this question by testing 215 children (26-59 months) on two social conditions (imitation, emulation)—involving a demonstration—and two asocial conditions (recall and trial-and-error)—involving individual learning—using two touchscreen tasks. The tasks required responding to either three different pictures in a specific picture order (Cognitive: Apple→Boy→Cat) or three identical pictures in a specific spatial order (Motor-Spatial Up→Down→Right). There were age-related improvements across all conditions. And imitation, emulation and recall performance were significantly better than trial-and-error learning. Generalized linear models demonstrated that motor-spatial imitation fidelity was associated with age and motor-spatial emulation, but cognitive imitation fidelity was only associated with age. While, this study provides evidence for multiple imitation mechanisms, the development of one of those mechanisms—motor-spatial imitation—may be bootstrapped by the development of another—motor-spatial emulation. Together, these findings provide important clues about the development of what is arguably a distinctive feature of human imitation performance.
This document outlines a business plan for Access Travels, a proposed accessible tourism company in Blekinge, Sweden. The plan proposes offering tours and travel services tailored for disabled, elderly, and visually impaired customers. Key points include:
- The company will offer services like travel consultation, pre-arranged tours, equipment rentals, and customized packages to give customers a safe and enjoyable travel experience.
- The target market is people with disabilities or accessibility needs in Sweden and Europe. There is currently no competitor offering this specialized service.
- Financial projections estimate the company will break even in the first year and become profitable thereafter, serving 300 customers in year 1, 600 in year 2, and 1,000 in
The document discusses using the present simple tense to talk about habits and things that are always true. It provides examples of sentences using the present simple tense to describe daily routines like getting the bus or brushing teeth. It also gives examples of sentences describing things that are always factual, like the sky being blue or the Earth orbiting the sun.
This document describes a student project to design an open cycle gas engine that uses a turbocharger. It is submitted by five students under the supervision of Mr. Bhupender Gahlot. The engine will run on LPG or CNG and power the turbocharger through exhaust gases, making it more efficient than traditional engines. It has several main components including an outer casing, flame chew, copper chew, and turbocharger. The fuel is ignited inside the flame chew and the hot gases spin the turbocharger before exiting.

Este documento contiene varias reflexiones sobre temas como el perdón, la humildad, la felicidad, el esfuerzo y los sueños. Algunas de las ideas principales son: 1) es mejor perdonar que vengarse para ser feliz para siempre; 2) debemos esforzarnos con todo nuestro ser pero no olvidar nuestra humanidad; 3) la vida es breve así que debemos vivir cada momento intensamente antes de que termine.
