In the bathtub, on the border: A perspectival identity crisis (II of II)
Thankfully, Fenwick’s attempt to disentangle one experiential learning theory from another has given me some traction on this slippery slope of definition; the eight dimensions of analysis she has tentatively provided allow for rudimentary comparison between the theories. These are elaborated below. While Fenwick apologizes for what she worriedly calls a “reductionistic” approach, I for one am grateful to see these marvelously rich and intricate perspectives momentarily boiled down to an approximation of their essences.

In the bathtub, on the border: A perspectival identity crisis (I of II)
While reading Tara Fenwick’s (2000) incisive review of five perspectives in the field of experiential learning, I had a troubling sense of déjà vu. I shot back to at least one afternoon in my adolescence when, soaking in the bathtub, I read through my hardcover edition of Linda Goodman’s (1968) <I>Sun Signs</I> and tried to determine whether she was really describing <I>me</I> in her classificatory system. Since I was born on the cusp, right in the borderlands between Virgo and Libra, it didn’t seem that I fit perfectly into one category or the other. It was important, I felt, because being one or the other could give me great insight into the future that lay ahead. Being neither, or both, just left me open to the unforeseen.

Conditions of Joint Attention: Connecting
<br>In her book, <I>Apprenticeship in Thinking: Cognitive Development in Social Context </I>(1990), Barbara Rogoff spends a fair amount of time going over the concept of joint attention, particularly in the parent-child relationship. A lot of people might refer to this as “connecting” with a child, but I think there’s something about the word “connecting” that makes the process seem magical and beyond the control of an individual. Establishing joint attention, on the other hand, is an effortful process – not in the sense that it is difficult to do, or even that it has to be done consciously, but in the sense that it is a process in which two people choose to engage.

Brain injuries can cause significant changes in the lives of their victims. The changes in behavior and funtioning are puzzling. But understanding the chemistry and functions of the brain helps us understand how and why they've occurred.
