Germane Cogntive Load

This post is a revisit to previous work on Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) and re-focuses on the germane cognitive load aspect. Germane refers to the work put into creating a permanent store of knowledge, your long-term memory.The germane processes are a function of the learners cognitive resources available and, also are attributible to the learner’s motivation.  Germane load refers to the effort…

Cognitive Theory and Primary Science Teaching

Cognitive science is gaining increasing influence in education and many existing and developing educational approaches are described as ‘inspired by cognitive science’. Many of these approaches have been long practiced or described as effective pedagogy without any reference to cognitive science – for example, quizzing pupils on topics has been common even without this being thought of as a form…

Dude, do you just not know what "weltgeist" means? Is that what's going on?

It's the world-spirit, which I know, and I know you know, and you know I know. You are pretending to be stupid in order to somehow tell yourself you've humiliated and dunked on me, but it's got nothing to do with reality. I'm guessing you think it's going to make me go on some fascist tear, because you cannot distinguish "fascist" from "person who thinks I am wrong." Because as previously stated, communists do not understand "wrong" the way fish do not understand "wet."

That entire thread is people saying "that is incorrect, that is not true, that is not a true statement" and communists being unable to grasp the concept of someone thinking a statement isn't true. You can't ever respond to the thing someone is saying, because you have such a disorted worldview and such a lack of cognitive empathy you can't envision a mental state other than your own. Anyone who says "that thing you said isn't true" must be either deliberately on the side of Capital, or been tricked into repeating propaganda from them. Because everything about your ideology is so completely factually incorrect, that you've lost the ability to check things against reality. If you did, you'd realize all of your Marxist theory was horseshit. That's why all you can do is tell others to read Marx, that's why all you can do is sneer and imply that other people are ignorant, and you fall the fuck apart the moment you try to explain anything or make any positive claim.

Now say something glib and pretending to be stupid so you can roll your eyes and make "get a load of this guy" gestures to your friends and remind the rest of us that life is not worth tolerating.

It really saddens me to see Aziraphale get the full force of everyone’s contempt over his reaction to the kiss & here's why:

What do we know about Aziraphale's true character? What they we been shown? Well, he’s a silly angel, who cares too much, loves his partner Crowley and truly wants to do what he believes is the right thing!

Don't get me wrong, I can see why a lot of people side and identify with Crowley after the final fifteen, given his trauma and the fact that he was the one making himself vulnerable by initiating the kiss.

But here the thing: it’s not like Aziraphale acted out of character after hearing Crowley’s proposal. We, as the audience, have been shown multiple times when Crowley has begged for them to run away together and every time we’ve seen it, it has been in a situation where Crowley wants to abandon all responsibility. It’s a trauma response and I don’t blame Crowley for being traumatized by Heaven and Hell. Just like I don’t blame him for not wanting to go back to either.

But Aziraphale has never responded positively to this proposition before. The only difference this time was the kiss. A beautiful, desperate, awkward kiss!

Aziraphale has always been wired to take responsibility and direct action even when he shouldn’t. For him, Azi’s personal code is to always do what he believes is the right thing to do, even if it might not end well. He gives the flaming sword to humanity, he saves Job’s children, he discorporates himself to stop the apocalypse, he does the thing with the halo.

I just don’t buy the narrative that he chose Heaven over Crowley. I think Aziraphale chose Heaven *because* of Crowley. He knew as long as he was in charge, he could keep Crowley safe.

Azi clearly loves Crowley despite his cognitive dissonance at all times. He can talk all the livelong day about how they "aren’t friends," but his actions speak the opposite. He cares deeply for Crowley. Azi trusts Crowley, he lets him get “plenty of use” out of the bookshop, he turns a neighborhood association meeting into a cotillion ball so that he can dance with him, he risked an eternity in Hell by wearing Crowley’s face.

He also knows that Crowley always comes back especially his angel needs him. Unless Crowley does a 180 and returns to Hell to actively thwart Heaven out of spite (which ngl that would great television & a theory I’d like to dwell deeper into elsewhere) this was just another disagreement and they will work it out somehow by working together. And hopefully learn how to communicate clearly!

The very root of the argument was misunderstanding and failure of communication on both sides.

The more I think about the “I forgive you” line, the more I think it may have just been Azi’s gut reaction to read the kiss as one of Crowley’s “temptations.” It’s a loaded word, but I think most people read the kiss as a last act of desperation to convince him to run away. In the past, we have seen Azi’s automatic response to what he feels like is a temptation from Crowley has always been to “forgive” him.

Is it irritating? Yes. Is it good communication? No. Is it a trauma response? I think yes.

I think that’s why the ending of season 2 didn’t upset me as much as it has upset others. I feel like I understand both sides—both how and why Crowley and Aziraphale make their decisions—because the writing is so damn good.

*Aziraphale did not reject or abandon Crowley.*

That last look at Crowley before stepping into the elevator was not a “good bye” or a “fuck you.” I truly believe he looked back to remind himself why he’s doing what he’s doing in the first place!!!

Aziraphale is protecting Crowley because he loves Crowley and believes their relationship is not only worth making sacrifices for, but also strong enough to withstand them!

am think about how tired how difficult how suck it is be higher support needs higher autism level

idk how explain because am not like. go through all day hate it hate self because honestly not even that aware of it most times it just is. see some higher level/support needs people say if give choice would want not born autistic high needs/levels and am absolute understand why they think that but if me, i don’t know if i would or would not because don’t know any different. can’t understand different perspective can’t understand experience that don’t have can’t even pretend imagine because theory of mind impairment can’t even think that.

but also would not say want reborn like this without hesitate. because need help everything every day and every day so struggle

most days just is not aware of it not think about it just follow but sometimes realize grim reality of would probably literally die if left alone for long will have depend on others for entire rest of life will never be independent never private. and that really scary and make feel sad and hopeless and scared

sure nothing wrong with need help nothing wrong with never can independent but with level of help need, depend on other people also mean depend on their free time, energy, health, mood, generosity, ability, want to help, money, etc etc. if want do something but other people not free or even just. they don’t want to, will not able. if other people sick or when parents go old, will be neglected. if take advantage of me, many times i literally wouldn’t even know.

will never be spontaneous like others. never in charge of own life like others.

even more suck that. even things you like. become too much cognitive load when do by self. so even thing enjoy is hard. even nonverbally respond to people even go places inside home too much cognitive (and physical) load.

cant even open container by self. wouldn’t even know to eat by self will not eat entire day if leave alone. need other people make sure brush teeth good clean. need other people physical help entire shower time. need other make sure go bed on time. need other people plan day for. need other people prompt n guide n direct go one activity to other and know what do next or else stuck do one entire day. many more. so many things have even trouble think and write and describe all. all of these sound so tame don’t even know how describe

sucks

5, 12, 24! asking lots because your writing is amazing, plus i have to see more of your sona ❤️❤️

Here you go, Little Anon! You're so sweet ahhh little bean eee!!

5) "They had become well acquainted with him, he thought."

24) The amount of cool adventures and smut I write is untenable and largely unpublished because it's all OC x Canon bullshit I don't think anyone wants to see, such as... (though the one below also applies solid information on my WIP Uroboros Wesker verse).

12) Wesker but he's niceys because of extraneous reasons explained in extreme and unfortunate detail below. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I apply the currently understood theory that the hippocampus is physically different in a sociopath / psychopath vs individual not identified to have it, plus the personal verse headcanon that human brains can unassign synapses and their associated axons without neural loss (e.g. emotion ranges in a psychopath, or vision pathways in complete 20-year-sustained blindness, in the same way a Creatures 3 Norn can unassign movement neurons and can have their axons jostled to refresh the synaptic connection).

Then we sandwich the classic "Uroboros, but he lives" and "Uroboros, but he comes back wrong because it infects his brain, even if he's totally compatible". Now, we divert again: What if it reconnected all those silly diminished axons to their previous "known-healthy" state, meaning Wesker is stuck burning alive in a volcano Feeling™ about it? He's burning alive in tarry bubbles of magma, having ego death after ego death while being brazen-bulled over and over until his form finally melts out of the way and re-integrates into a "Wesker-y shape"...

This sets the stage for the story / roleplay, but it's also set-up for my personal Uroboros Wesker I want to write headcanons and xreader content for, whom I don't have a verse name for yet. I am open to suggestions!

[You don't have to read further below if you don't care about the OC x Canon version of this, but I've included lots of juicy medical details with reading links if you'd like more facts about my Wesker's state.]

Wesker ends up going a bit feral for an undisclosed period of time (2-6 months, presumed dead) and eating everything on the island that he can grab in a state of depleted cognitive and physical strength, in a fugue energy starvation state mimicking severe Cannibal Disease, though temporary. He instinctually heads to a TRICELL scientist's house, specifically one who had the gall (or nerve, or bravado) to strike casual conversations with him when he was their boss and they worked on Plaga subspecies classifications in the same building (they're a paleo-biologist(?)) because they're one of the only people he can think of in that moment.

More on that in another post which I'll tag as Hector Maxwell.

Wesker breaks open their door and collapses on their floor not knowing where he is or quite frankly who he is, with extreme, crippling hunger and low insulin, begging for help, something absolutely unprecedented of him. His ghrelin is high, his motilin is out of control, his leptin is nonexistent, and his thiamine is low. His clothing is basically nonexistent save for some flesh-burnt scraps that cling to his skin. He is in unbelievable pain. They load him up on Oxycodone and inject him with insulin and thiamine, give him a glucagon nasal spray and rush him microwave meals (hey, don't judge them) until he stops moaning their name brokenly while trying to resist chewing their hair.

They treat his wounds as best they can with a spare health kit and stitch lacerations shut, and, thus, a type of mysterious acquaintanceship begins as Wesker begins to regain his faculties...

Wesker finds that though he is no less rabidly intelligent, he is afflicted with various irreversible phenotypical mutations and Uroboros has infiltrated his brain tissue. The veins nearest his skin have receded due to T-Virus malnutrition-conservation, his nails are tough, keratinous and claw-like, his teeth are carnivorous with a few extra small canines, his palate is carnivorous with a preference for iron-rich raw red meat with a severe uptick in necessary intake, his scars are scaly, and he has gained an entire sense revolving around his Uroboros tentacles. They now allow him to sense the lightest step from up to a mile away, able to predict earthquakes before they happen and the marching of men or helicopter blades at the expense of severe constant overstimulation he must learn to harness and tamp down.

He's so hungry all the time. He can barely think through the crippling hunger, and he never feels full. The wheel of Samsara bears its' gear upon him daily, as he now feels the full spectrum of emotion at a dramatic and uncontrollable intensity that leaves his eyes like high-lumen floodlights. Not to mention the mental effects... he often feels like his mind slips from him and he does inexplicably animalistic things, like tracking animals with optokinetic vision, twitching and sudden cursing, drooling when food is present, and what seems to present itself as a sort of accursed pack-bonding to such a previously cold man, one who had erroneously believed himself beyond the need for socialization; the paleontologist that is rooming him has to manage and assist as he adapts while also dealing with Wesker getting oddly friendly (sitting next to them, awkward small talk, touchiness/desire for physical reassurance, being awkwardly followed around, falling asleep on them, ... crying to them and often breaking down or becoming hysterical and consolable only through physical touch [hugs, snuggles, the like]).

Eventually, Wesker is forced to reconcile with painful, uncomfortable feelings and undeniable truths; he needs socialization and support now that his tolerance for human suffering is somewhat neurotypical, has been robbed of his ego, status and pride, and can no longer perform unethical bioweapons science to the degree he did previously due to the sheer mental agony that assaults him almost all hours of the day knowing he... he did that. Did it, caused it, was it, made people feel... feel this hunger. A bludgeon, sharp and inescapable... it eats at him, and maybe, maybe that's why he's so goddamn hungry all the time, some kind of punishment...

Anyway, there's smut somewhere in there where he goes hog wild on the cute dino research twink. They end up very much so situationshipping because it's really difficult not to do that when your ex-boss (world's greatest virologist and mass murderer) is snuggling up to you and crying on you and getting in your personal space and experiencing so much pent-up 'need for human contact'. Wesker is bound to fall for someone who meticulously plays doctor, is much shorter and lighter and weaker than he, and, not bound to Umbrella's teachings, is generally compassionate.

It'd be very easy to just sub in a reader instead of Hector, so I'd do that if I wrote for him (and good god I want to so bad).

Autism is so frustrating because sometimes I just have a severe disconnect between my feelings/reactions/cognition.

"Go to therapy," they said. "It'll help you understand your emotions." Well I did. And in theory, I do.

It never quite worked the same way for me, though, because I can actually rationalize quite well. And that was exhausting because it meant that I had to find a therapist who genuinely understood that. I am very empathetic and very rational. Sometimes, though, my brain doesn't want to be empathetic and rational. Sometimes it's just too many feelings to manage. And I never even knew the reason because I was just labeled as anxious and depressed and probably "crazy" with air quotes around it.

But unfortunately, now that I've gone through lots of therapy and spent a very long time trying to figure out why I was feeling a certain way, I discovered that I still have physical emotional reactions, I'm now just frustrated as shit that I'm having them. Like... I AM rationalizing. I KNOW that my feelings are not valid. But I'm still crying???? I don't want to be crying??? I know what needs to happen and I'm still physically upset. It's frustrating as sh*t. The tears are streaming down my face but that's not what's happening in my head.

I know, technically, that I'm allowed to have feelings. But it feels like such a burden? I'm absolutely terrified about becoming my (very reactive) parents, and that does not help. I don't want to traumatize others with my own anxiety.

BUT on the other hand, sometimes my brain cells just completely stop working. It's like the loading screen on a computer. And that's frustrating because I have STUFF TO DO. I need thoughts!! On some level, I need to be able to cognate. Instead, it just feels sort of blank, and that makes me panic in a totally different way. It's anxiety about being unable to speak. Unable to fully express myself.

And sometimes I express myself and it's just ~anxiety~.

My brain just feels like it's broken into separate spaces that can't seem to align on anything. And that's really what autism is, a lot of times. There is a lot of gray and white matter, but not quite in the right places.

And I have to just accept it, because there isn't a "cure" for autism.

Unfortunately, my ADHD somewhat keeps this in check, because it says "do things! Socialize! HAVE EVERY EMOTION" except then I can't focus on shit, and I'm slightly irritable, and still kinda useless.

Week 1 - Sept 13

Topics - What are the effects of gamification on cognitive load and emotion, Illusion/Perception-Bending

Because I am basing my capstone on my thesis research question, I have a lot of different sources and an entire literature review (rough) to look through. However, I wanted to avoid limiting myself to simply that research question and started exploring the major topics within the questions and cast a wider net for more creative inspiration.

I began looking through this article about cognitive and emotional research in relationship to gamification and serious gaming. I was drawn to the topic of "inattentional blindness" (the tendency to miss a second stimulus after detecting an initial visual stimulus) which tied into my second topic of illusions or any sort of perceptual manipulation that may trick the brain's processing of images/information.

"Additionally, emotion may prevent “inattentional blindness,” i.e., the tendency to miss a second stimulus after detecting an initial visual stimulus"

"Immersive first-person shooter games enable faster and more accurate attention allocation. Focused attention is key to achieving cognitive absorption or “flow” " --> ties into flow theory (providing positive incentives at varying intervals aligns with human nature, which is driven by internal motivations stimulated by external rewards).

After reading about inattentional blindness, I wanted to research illusion science and history more. This article included some history of the origin of illusions, the use of depth, movement, and color in optical illusion art, and important types and figures of illusion art.

"According to BigThink, there are three main types of optical illusions: literal, physiological, and cognitive. "

"Literal illusions can be seen in two different ways, such as the duck and rabbit image. Physiological illusions use sensory overload to trick our brains into seeing movement and depth that aren’t actually there. Cognitive illusions trick both our eyes and brain with impossible shapes and logic, such as Oscar Reutersvärd’s “Penrose Triangle.”"

I hope to look into more game designs because I was able to research Superliminal a bit this week and found that was a really interesting design to confuse players using perception and "tricking brains."

I also feel like next week I will be looking more into software for game design and playing around with that for a while.

認知負荷理論の目的は、人間の認知アーキテクチャの能力と限界を考慮することによって、学習成果を予測することである。この理論は、学習教材の設計の特徴を人間の情報処理原理と結びつけるため、幅広い学習環境に適用することができる。認知負荷理論は、「効果的な学習のデザインは、人間の知性がどのように働くかについての知見に基づかなければならない」という考えに導かれている。この前提から出発して、知識の獲得と理解の様々なプロセスが、能動的で容量の限られた情報処理システムとみなされる人間の認知システムへの要求という観点から説明される。学習すべき情報の複雑さ、学習者への指示の提示方法、学習者の既有の経験や知識によって引き起こされる認知資源への要求を考慮し、認知負荷理論は、何が学習を成功させるのか、そしてどのように学習が教授や指導によって効果的にサポートされるのかを予測することを目的としている。 このように、認知負荷理論は「人間の認知アーキテクチャの能力と限界」を出発点とした、効果的な学習デザインを考案するための理論です。ソフトウェア開発やプログラミングも、「複雑性との戦い」という表現をされることがあると思いますが、この「複雑性」も「人間の認知アーキテクチャの能力と限界」があるからこそ発生し、増減するものだと考えられます。 認知負荷理論は複雑性との戦いにおいて、有効な道具となり得ると考えられ、注目が集まっているように思われます。

ive always wanted to make comics about my experience with OCD symptoms (not officially diagnosed, but thats the impression my therapist gave me after some tests) but i dont really know how to properly incorporate it into the cognitive functions theory since its... disorderedly thinking, atypical. how would these mind people even begin to interact with each other when my thought processes feel like they dont even belong to me

one of the worst parts of these symptoms is just how much trust you lose from yourself, and it takes a shit load of effort just to regain said trust. i feel like my perception just gets fucked constantly, and my anxiety signals are haywire. its exhaustive repeating shit over and over again but my brain for some reason sees this as the "safest" option

ive been going through intervention though, and its been a positive progress! but still, i dont really believe these obsessions will be permanently removed, i just gotta cope with it i guess

[llort]

I am just going to put the TLDR at the start of the post as realistically the only person who will read the whole thing is me. TLDR: All I am saying is that unless you have a clear and logical system to help you work towards reproducibly work towards sustainable levels of self actualization, it is just unlikely that most people will ever get to that part of Maslow's pyramid scheme in the same way that most people won't complete something of quality compared to an engineering project in their lifetime

There is unfortunately a high level of weaponized autism that went into developing Unsignificant Sentience and in particular a form of axiomatic practical philosophy and frame/existential/perspective/personal engineering. The amount of possible iterations of functional ME0000 configurations is essentially infinite and endlessly customizable and optimized.

Typically by the default grace that you are human and hopefully viable as a biological organism, you would typically be somewhere in the very top peak of that ^ diagram in your day life. US allows you to transcend your normal mental, cognitive, and physical limitations and push past the usual glass ceiling of geodisc possible EGC splines and potential states of excellence just due to the mathematical almost deductive certainty of having a cohesive, robust, and constantly adaptive/optimized re memetic and genetic algorithmic systems based on the cybernetic construct of an actualized cyberphysical viable system model which is the gold standard control and communication theory of self managing entities.

There are two sets of five axioms that I always have loaded no matter how badly I get mindfucked and destroyed by reoccurring depressive phases. They are,

Five: “Laws of Observation and Action”

1. There is always a bigger picture.

2. There is always another level of detail.

3. There is always another perspective.

4. There is always error.

5. There is always the unexpected.

Existential Consequences of Merely Existing

a) I exist

 b) I am alive and/or experiencing something

c) What I do or think matters or has consequences somehow

d) I have some level of agency

e) There is something other than me

Taken together these sets of axioms provide a robust outlook to adapt to external objective, subjective, and abstract reality. Given that I am blatantly an unashamed strong monist, the environment and I/you any VSM is one and the same internally and externally.

The AAMP is a heuristic that I developed to deal with my ADHD as it is a good metric for exactly what I am focusing on when I want to focus on something else in in another certain way. It is just a fact of reality and how our consciousness evolved that there are just different non-modal ways we can pay attention to ourselves and our environment

AAMP – Attentional Awareness Model Perception

Awareness of focus subjective substrate

Awareness of foci of focus

Awareness of circumstantial NWF correlates emergent in conscious awareness

IESOA splines are a good axiom to consider as typically you, and you know this, view yourself as the happy little subjective center of the universe. This is not correct, the center of the universe is where the point is and the point can be anywhere. In fact many people miss the point.

IESOA Splines

Allocentric

Exocentric

Egocentric In order to deal with the fact that I have to do so much shit to remain viable as a human, the BH, aka the behavioral hierarchy provides a default set of behavior and non finite endpoints to work towards when I just either don't know what to do nor do I have anything to do. Basically the pointless radiant quests in Skyrim. But applying the BH always means that my cognition and behavior always means I am acting in accordance my morals, ethics, and values

BH

a) JMC and PMC management

b) Active Attention/Focus

c) Mindmap/Meditation/MR/CBT/AE

d) Exercise and PMC Management

e) Projects and Autonomy

f) Study and HISE

g) Communication, Subvocalisation, Personas Systems

h) Contingencies, Preplanning, Prevention and IRS

i) Entertainment, Mindfulness/Mediation and Content Creation

j) Self Actualization

k) IO (Self Care)

l) OMA 7 (Offensive Meta Heuristics)

h) TPHU (Trans/Posthuman Undertaking)

There is my view of the totality of nature, which I am in perfect accordance with https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Baruch_Spinoza view that "god" is just the sum total of

Emergent Meta Awareness

1 EO - External Objective

2 IO - Internal Objective

3 ES - External Subjective

4 IS - Internal Subjective

5 IA - Internal Abstract

6 EA - External Abstract 

which is to say the entirety of existence. Unfortunately I just had to go a step further and define new ontological metaphysical categories which are

Gestalt Cognitive Perception

US just doesn't work out as logically and ontologically consistent if I don't establish fuzzy gestalt boundaries between certain "modes" of reality and conscious experience. I just simply don't believe that humans as we are currently in the process of biological and cultural evolution as well as technological developments, are fully conscious in the way that consciousness could be like if we took steps towards remedying issues such as how remembering things actually edits those memories in the form of a weird Mendalla effect. There are just so many things about the human mind that are just shit in their implementation and execution and I firmly believe that US can allow humanity to develop both cognitively and technologically towards just a plain better state of exitance and self awareness.

On a good day (which I admit are rare), it is possible for me to emulate mental reconstruction of the very biological anatomy and physiology that underlie the process of mental reconstruction and general perception/self awareness. I have encountered situations where I observe my conscious attention observing the peripheral neurological processes associated with perception suddenly perceive the perception of self perception of observing self observing self recursively. All I can say that it is fucking weird, and I assume it is something proponents of Buddhism experience all the time. No wonder most monks say that meditation is better than LSD.

Also look, the MM is color coded in a pretty way

And is able to accommodate basically any qualia, mathematical concept, and bullshit like this

and even more bullshit detail regarding fractal dimensions, morse code, information and music theory, haptic feedback, and general other mind-numbing inane shit which is essentially autistic crack for me.

Please help me I am so alone

this post is so real but also i'm thinking abt how i have been making a point of working with/around my brain weirdness recently and i'm continually blown away by how much of a difference small changes and uses of adaptive technologies (<- can u tell ive been reading about disability theory lately) make... i am SO much better about brushing my teeth consistently ever since i got an electric toothbrush, i think just because it counts the time for me. that's all the cognitive load i needed to get rid of! and i've been good about flossing too!! what the hell
