About this site

The Human Thinking Process

1999
The entry explores those unique aspects of human thinking. The first tab looks at some of the landmark thinking model developers by era, which we call "thinking history." Secondly, we examine some of the physical aspects with a dynamic model of the brains control area in a two-frame JavaScript popup window. This section examines learning theories and language as a cognitive skill set. Thirdly, we examine classical reasoning processes: syllogisms, classification, and illustrate the rules of proper thinking with stuffed animal examples. Fourthly, we move into scientific method and some simple statistical theory. After all this theory, we cover modern symbolism with illustrated truth tables. The most extensive coverage, both theory and illustration, is of argument formation theory. We take an intermission with a bivalue logic game page and then finish off with logic and fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is a very difficult concept to present. We have tried to simplify the theory by illustrating that this type of logic model tries to accomodate the fact that objects change over time. Thus, the static theories of Aristotle's "pure" logical model where every object can be put into its set or class, breaks down through morphology. Section 9 deals more with the details of the educational objectives (see below).

!Ultimate Kids' Divorce Guide!

1998
The main educational objective of this web page is to help children cope with divorce. We felt that students who are experiencing a divorce may not understand some of the events that may take place in their lives. We have learned through our support group that sharing information with those who have lived through a divorce can be very helpful. We think that the web page can be useful in helping teachers to understand the warning signs of a child experiencing coping problems during a divorce. The web page will also help parents to understand what a child is feeling and how they can help a child at home.
