CONT

A shortchange artist prefers to operate on careless or inexperienced cashiers. His goal is to confuse the cashier during a money transaction by changing his mind in the middle of a purchase. One common method used by a shortchange artist is to make a $. 50 purchase and pay with a $20 bill, then suddenly changes his mind and decides to pay with a $1. 00 bill. He will hand back the change from the $20 bill after pocketing $10 and produce the $1. 00 bill to buy the item. An experienced cashier won’t realize ten dollars is missing from the $20 change. During the exchange of money, the shortchange artist usually tries to take the cashier's mind from her work by talking about his job, family, sad story, etc. hoping the cashier won’t notice the missing $10 bill.

DEF

Performance-based education is an approach for structuring the curriculum, instruction and assessment for the acquisition and application of knowledge, skills and habits of mind through the performance of complex tasks within life and work contexts. Like many new innovations, the implementation of performance-based education is best approached in a systemic manner because all components of the educational system need to operate coherently if this innovation is to make a difference on student learning.

En bout de ligne, on peut même se passer des enseignants dans la mesure où aucune compétence spéciale n'est requise pour ce genre de tâches.

CONT

El principio fundamental de la educación basada en el rendimiento es que las decisiones del programa de estudios y de la instrucción deberán basarse en las competencias que se desee que los alumnos demuestren al finalizar su educación formal. Los resultados buscados incluyen no sólo las calificaciones o puntuaciones en los reportes o pruebas, sino en el rendimiento que demuestren los alumnos, sus habilidades en la vida cotidiana, tales como planificar y diseñar, crear y producir, liderazgo y organización.

A therapy that combines work with the body and the mind to help people resolve their emotional problems and realize more of their potential for pleasure and joy in living.

CONT

Bioenergetic analysis, often called bioenergetic therapy or simply bioenergetics, is a form of mind/body psychotherapy, founded by Alexander Lowen MD, that examines personality in terms of the body and its energetic process. Respiration and metabolism energize our bodies. Movement and the production of sound are the ways in which we discharge energy. How much energy we have and how we utilize it determines our capacity to respond to life situations.

Méthode thérapeutique psychocorporelle qui vise à permettre au patient de recouvrer ou d’augmenter sa capacité à sentir, bouger, agir, ainsi qu’à s’émouvoir et par conséquent savourer la vie.

CONT

L’analyse bioénergétique dispose d’un ensemble de techniques de travail corporel dont des postures et des exercices permettant d'approfondir la respiration, de relâcher les tensions musculaires et d’améliorer la circulation énergétique. Le but de ces techniques est de permettre au client de s’abandonner aux mouvements involontaires, à la «vie du corps», ainsi qu’à l’expression des émotions qui accompagnent ce processus.

Hints that animals might be sensitive to the mental states of others came from recent work on what is called the audience effect in various birds and mammals... Although animals are clearly sensitive to the presence or lack of an audience, this fact does not prove that they are also sensitive to their audience's state of mind.

The training analysis is a unique feature of an analyst's preparation. No psychoanalyst is allowed to treat others without first undergoing personal analysis. Otherwise, even the brightest of students still would have no foundation for understanding what patients are truly saying and would have no way to recognize when their own personality dynamics were limiting or interfering with their work. Training analysis is traditionally the most important aspect of learning to understand the human mind and expand the analyst's talents in responding to others.

Subject field(s)
  • Penal Law
CONT

Since the enactment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 there have been many cases in which courts in Canada at all levels excepting the Supreme Court of Canada have expressed views on the meaning of "bringing the administration of justice into disrepute" within the meaning of s. 24(2) of the Charter. The most helpful views are contained in several cases extensively reviewed by Coleman, J., in Lysohirka et al.... and start with the comment of Lamer, J. A., in Rothman...(Pre-Charter) wherein he comments at page 152 :... "The judge, in determining whether under the circumstances the use of the statement in the proceedings would bring the administration of justice into disrepute, should consider all of the circumstances of the proceedings, the manner in which the statement was obtained, the degree to which there was a breach of social values, the seriousness of the charge and the effect the exclusion would have on the result of the proceedings. It must also be borne in mind that the investigation of crime and the detection of criminals is not a game to be governed by the Marquess of Queensbury rules. The authorities, in dealing with shrewd and often sophisticated criminals, must sometimes of necessity resort to tricks or other forms of deceit, and should not through the rule be hampered in their work. What should be repressed vigorously is conduct on their part that shocks the community". These comments are now often referred to as the "community shock" test....

Le seuil d'exclusion (...) est fixé plus bas que celui qui découle du "critère de la conduite qui choque la collectivité" énoncé dans l'arrêt Rothman c. La Reine, (1981) 1 R.C.S. 640.

OBS

Les autorités, qui ont affaire à des criminels rusés et souvent sophistiqués, doivent parfois user d'artifices et d'autres formes de supercherie, et ne devraient pas être entravées dans leur travail par l'application de la règle.

CONT

J. A. Fodor has forcefully argued that a good deal of work in cognition(psychology, AI, linguistics, philosophy of mind) implies or presupposes the existence of a "language of thought" or mentalese. According to him, mental computations, as required for example by language-acquisition, would be carried out in that "private code". Furthermore, the language of thought, though different from any natural language, would share various features with natural languages-particularly as far as its expressive power is concerned.
