Surprise! 4 : teacher's resource pack.

Caja de recursos para profesores de inglés en el nivel de cuarto de educación primaria. Contiene el libro del profesor con actividades que se pueden fotocopiar para utilizar en clase, pegatinas, pósters, CDs audio y varios juegos de fichas con fotografías, ilustraciones y palabras. Los contenidos están estructurados en seis lecciones: un vaquero de verdad, la hora del baño de Fifi, la rata hambrienta, noche y día, ¡a la escuela!, el lobo está en la ciudad. El objetivo es que los niños desarrollen poco a poco su capacidad para comprobar, mejorar y corregir sus actividades y aprendan de forma autónoma a través de las relaciones que establecen entre el Inglés y sus propias experiencias.

Paths to development: Is there a Bangladesh surprise?

Using aggregate indices of education, health, demographic, and gender equality outcomes, we empirically investigate the hypothesis that Bangladesh achieved a higher level of social development compared with countries of similar level of per capita income. Stylized facts and cross-country regression results support this hypothesis for a broad range of dimensions. Further tests show that such achievements do not simply reflect income-mediated channels and social expenditure programs. We conclude by speculating on the role of Bangladesh’s development to sustain the process of growth and on the role of governance and institutional quality for the nexus between growth and development.

More than a surprise: The bivalency effect in task switching

When switching tasks, if stimuli are presented that contain features that cue two of the tasks in the set (i.e., bivalent stimuli), performance slowing is observed on all tasks. This generalized slowing extends to tasks in the set which have no features in common with the bivalent stimulus and is referred to as the bivalency effect. In previous work, the bivalency effect was invoked by presenting occasionally occurring bivalent stimuli; therefore, the possibility that the generalized slowing is simply due to surprise (as opposed to bivalency) has not yet been discounted. This question was addressed in two task switching experiments where the occasionally occurring stimuli were either bivalent (bivalent version) or merely surprising (surprising version). The results confirmed that the generalized slowing was much greater in the bivalent version of both experiments, demonstrating that the magnitude of this effect is greater than can be accounted for by simple surprise. This set of results confirms that slowing task execution when encountering bivalent stimuli may be fundamental for efficient task switching, as adaptive tuning of response style may serve to prepare the cognitive system for possible future high conflict trials.
