Any more philosophical / theory like texts on the philosophy of foreign language study / the politics of multilingualism/trying to be multilingual ?

A bit of a strange post. But I’m constantly thinking about how poetic / interesting it is being able to code switch between different languages and how , a lot of times, different personalities are expressed in doing so. For ex, I feel much smoother when speaking Spanish but am a bit more clumsy in English and feel I can be more self-deprecating (in a good way).

In another vein, I work in a multilingual office (french, German, spanish, English), and there’s definitely a sort of politics to working in an environment like that. For ex, this one woman who is one of the few decently fluent in all of the offices languages , will only speak with people in the office in their native language ( sounds rather endearing but after a while I think it’s a bit of a superiority type thing). It’s interesting watching which language people slip into and with who in the office.

This is all a long-winded means of me asking if you guys have any recommended readings related to what has been mentioned above. Really just in love with language and am constantly perplexed haha

ASL as a gateway to multilingualism?

Hello!This is a theory I have, but have been unable to find any relevant research on.

It is already well-known that learning ASL speeds up speech development in children, and reduces frustration by allowing them to express themselves before they can fully verbalize what they wish to communicate. There is a big trend of "baby sign" right now, which is teaching some basic signs (not necessarily ASL, but can be) for words like milk, sleep, hungry, tired, more, etc. However, I have only ever seen this concepts applied to children learning their primary/only language from birth. Signing gets replaced as soon as child can verbalize, instead.

My belief is that teaching ASL to a child would aid them in picking up multiple languages, not simply their primary language, because they are given a common visual for the same words. This would work much like pointing to an object and saying the name in two languages (a common strategy), except it would be more effective since it can be used any time and can be used in the abstract (you don't need the object, or a picture of it, in front of you to talk about it), and for actions, feelings, or ideas, instead of just objects.

With a solid base in ASL, I believe it would work almost like live subtitles. If I do the sign for "Milk", which my child recognizes, I could say "Leche" or "Latte" or "Milk", and the understanding would still be there even if this is a totally new verbal word for the child. This would be equivalent, perhaps, to very effective TPR (total physical response) which is used for immersion teaching- except instead of acting things out, you already have a physical gesture the child recognizes instantly.

Working with older children who might have a grasp on more vocabulary of their target language, but have trouble understanding those words when used in sentences (I could read, write, and speak French, but for the life of me could not understand it when it was spoken to me- it all blurred together), they could listen while watching someone sign, and thus be able to differentiate the beginning/ending of words, pick out vocabulary they recognize more easily, etc.

I am not confident that this is correct, of course, since different languages have different grammar and syntax- and perhaps it would be too difficult to watch the words being signed in a different order than the spoken language. Buuuut then again, ASL doesn't have the same syntax/grammar as English, and often the translator signs and speaks simulta

Techniques and tips to learn coding in a more efficient way. Some are backed by research in Neuroscience, Behavioral Psychology, and Years of experience.

Let's get to it.

If you’re not struggling, you’re not learning.

What’s your idea of learning to code?

Whip out your computer, type out a couple of cool commands. And bam - beauty personified.

Sorry, nope.

The process is at least 50% struggling especially at the beginning. And that’s how it should be. I’ve seen people quit programming because they don’t want to struggle with bugs. That’s like hating the gym because you don’t want workouts to hurt.

But the struggle is the way.

You don’t run from bugs;

You train yourself to find them quicker.

>A proficient programmer is an efficient detective of bugs.

If you’re feeling frustrated that things are not smooth, remember that this is how learning actually works.

Neuroscience research confirms that practice doesn’t simply make you perfect; it is deliberate practice to improve in a specific task that makes you better. And deliberate practice involves struggling.

So your mantra should be:You code.

You debug.

You struggle.

You overcome.

And you repeat.

If you’ve not struggled at all, you’re simply playing around. If you struggle all the time, then the next section is for you.

You’re not dumb, you’re learning at the wrong level.

Let’s start with a little analogy.

Imagine learning the English language (the language of exceptions :)

You start with a tutorial motivating you to learn to spell big words like ELEPHANT.

But it’s not working. After beating yourself for so long you decide to go to a lower tutorial and learn to spell smaller words like ANT.

But you still struggle.

So you conclude that you’re dumb because you lowered your tutorial level and still didn’t grasp anything.

But when a new teacher investigates why you’re struggling, they find out that you’ve been struggling because you actually don’t know the English alphabets.

Let’s bring this home to our coding world.

Some people jump into beginner tutorials to learn a React framework (ELEPHANT). Then realize it makes no sense so they move on to learn JavaScript (ANT). But that still makes no sense to them, so they quit.

But they’re simply working with something that’s too advanced.

Even introduction courses can be advanced because your thinking is not wired yet to programming in general. There’s no shame in finding something lower than Intro courses and starting from there to build up to Intro courses.

I don’t see this recommended enough but if you’re struggling with intro courses, you should consider Intro to programming

State of /r/Neuroscience and Rule Changes.

Community Statistics:

/r/Neuroscience has been experiencing rapid growth the past couple of months, averaging over 50,000 uniques and almost 200,000 pageviews this fall alone. We also broke the 60,000 subscriber barrier earlier today, and we're seeing consistent growth in user engagement on major posts. Put simply -- things are going well.

Rule Changes:

Unfortunately, our recent expansions have highlighted some issues communities like ours have been grappling with for a while now -- specifically, the spread of misinformation and the administration of medical advice by students, laymen, hobbyists, and quacks.

In an attempt to counter this problem, we've decided to commit to a change in the subreddit's direction: We are officially aiming to turn /r/neuroscience into a more strict, academic community. To do this, we are adjusting our ruleset as follows:

  • Blanket ban on pop sci articles.

    > We're taking our pop sci policy to the next step by establishing a ban on popular science articles -- you can find our definition of the term here.

  • Laymen's Questions FAQ & Megathread

    > In an effort to keep more basic and repetitive questions to a limit, we will be redirecting apparent laymen to a megathread meant for these types of questions and discussions. Said thread will also include a fitting FAQ.

  • Career Opportunity Megathread

    > We'll be maintaining a new monthly megathread in which users can post any openings and career opportunities they may come across. Dedicated reddit bots will also be crossposting items from the Systems Neuroscience google group.

  • Expansion of the AMA Series

    > As you have likely noticed by now, we've been organizing monthly AMAs with various researchers, teams, and workshops. We'll continue to do so, and are hoping to ramp up the frequency of these AMAs as well. If you're part of a team doing interesting work in the field and think that you might be a good fit, feel free to contact us here.

We know that not everyone is going to agree with the change in our direction, but we nonetheless deem it prudent given the current condition of neuroscience on reddit.

Different fields of neuroscience for PhD programs

I’m currently a Junior studying Psychology B.S. and Neuroscience B.S..I’m interested into going into a PhD program to study neuroscience. I’m currently volunteering in a psychology lab with human participants as well as neuroscience lab that works with rat models. I’m torn between working with animal models and human participants. I’m wondering what other labs and fields of neuroscience there are that use human participants? I am more interested in molecular and cellular neuroscience but I am still open to other fields as well.

How did you determine which Sub-Discipline of Neuroscience was right for you?

I am interesting studying neuroscience, but the field is large and diverse. How did you determine which area to focus on? Did you explore several areas first, if so how?

Off the top of my head, I find the following to be interesting: modeling neural networks/systems, neural correlates of consciousness (especially perception, learning and memory), neuropharmacology (drugs!), and neurodegenerative/neurological disease.

For those of us who are new to neuroscience: Behave-The Biology of Humans At Our Best and Worst by Robert Sapolsky is a great place to start.

I am a psychology student and have been drawn to neuroscience and I decided to simply see what I can start learning about on my own. This was way more fun than I anticipated, thanks to Robert Sapolsky. His book Behave is by far one of the best non fictions I have ever read. It is easy to understand, yet very detailed; very factual, yet surprisingly entertaining. It is a great introduction to neuroscience for those beginners like myself. Someone was asking for book recommendations and I suggested this one, but the books is so good I think it needed a post of its own for those eager new neuroscience students that may need direction.

Neuroscience student here: so classic psychedelics are serotonin receptor agonists so they excite serotonin (excitatory) release, however they lower brain activity, specifically in the context of ego dissolution. Any theories on why/how?

I think this is interesting because serotonin typically (but not always) excites other neurons to increase brain activity, so there must be a unique signal transduction pathway for this inhibitory phenomenon.
