Research Findings: Western ideas and progressive pedagogies have been introduced to China (including Shenzhen), Hong Kong, and Singapore to replace Chinese traditional pedagogy. But these “imported” ideas are not congruent with traditional Chinese culture thus have encountered resistance from Chinese teachers. The present study observed and analyzed 18 early childhood classrooms in the three lo...

Systems without mental states, such as cognitive technology, can sometimes contribute to human cognition, but that does not make them cognizers. Cognizers can offload some of their cognitive functions onto cognitive technology, thereby extending their performance capacity beyond the limits of their own brain power. Lang...

The inherenceheuristic is a cognitive process that supplies quick and effortless explanations for a wide variety of observations. Due in part to biases in memory retrieval, this heuristic tends to overproduce explanations that appeal to the inherent features of the entities in the observations being explained (hence the heuristic’s name). In this response, we use the commentators’ input to clar...

Open Source Software has proved to be reliable and efficient in many cases. Therefore the technical advantages are self-explanatory. What is interesting about this work is the production model itself. As will be displayed it has a commons based structure and arises through collective action. A general economic assumption is that such forms of organisations own the risk to fail. With these condi...
