There are multiple kinds of prejudice, including racism, sexism, ageism, sexual prejudice, and weight prejudice, to name a few (Nelson, 2009). As people become aware of stereotyping, there is an increased awareness of the relationship between stereotyping and prejudice. Researchers often distinguish between implicit/subtle prejudice and explicit/blatant prejudice. This distinction refers to how prejudice is activated cognitively and manifested in the individual. Sometimes prejudice is […]

Your text provides a copious amount of information in support of the view that language is innate and inherent in our biology, suggesting that we don’t need to be exposed to language in order to learn language.

Last week, you learned how to summarize a distribution by using frequency distribution tables and various graphs. The shape the frequency distribution forms is important, but frequency tables and graphs are not always the most efficient or meaningful way to summarize large amounts of data. In addition to graphing the shape of the distribution, statistics can be computed to provide even more information about the scores. Measures […]

The way depth gets compressed in the retinal image is the same as in a photograph: parallel lines that recede into the distance converge at a vanishing point on the horizon.   This geometrical relationship is called linear perspective  https://smarthistory.org/how-one-point-linear-perspective-works/.  Although there are some hints of linear perspective in Greek and Roman art, linear perspective was not accurately described until the Renaissance. Brunelleschi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkNMM8uiMww is credited with discovering the […]

For counselors in training, developing a solid understanding of a single theory may be a more manageable starting place to develop a group leadership […]
