Reflection in Nursing Education: Why and How?
Introduction: Nursing education should develop autonomy, critical thinking, open-mindedness and sensitivity to others. Reflection seems to be an effective strategy for developing such capabilities in nursing. Therefore, this narrative review study was carried out to explore reflection in nursing education. Methods: Using keywords like reflecting, reflection and nursing reflection, FarsiandEngl...
متن کاملAction selection: A race model for selected and non-selected actions distinguishes the contribution of premotor and prefrontal areas
Race models have been used to explain perceptual, motor and oculomotor decisions. Here we developed a race model to explain how human subjects select actions when there are no overt rewards and no external cues to specify which action to make. Critically, we were able to estimate the cumulative activity of neuronal decision-units for selected and non-selected actions. We used functional magneti...
متن کاملFree-Energy Minimization and the Dark-Room Problem
Recent years have seen the emergence of an important new fundamental theory of brain function. This theory brings information-theoretic, Bayesian, neuroscientific, and machine learning approaches into a single framework whose overarching principle is the minimization of surprise (or, equivalently, the maximization of expectation). The most comprehensive such treatment is the "free-energy minimi...
متن کاملDark microglia: Why are they dark?
Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) we recently characterized a microglial phenotype that is induced by chronic stress, fractalkine receptor deficiency, aging, or Alzheimer disease pathology. These 'dark' microglia appear overly active compared with the normal microglia, reaching for synaptic clefts, and extensively engulfing pre-synaptic axon terminals and post-synaptic dendritic spin...
متن کاملAction Understanding: How, What and Why
The mirror neuron system may help us understand how others act and what they do. A recent study has shown that consciously reflecting on their intentions additionally recruits mentalizing areas.
