  • Zpravodajská komunita Spojených států amerických: Byla adekvátně zreformována po teroristických útocích v září 2001?

    Co-Authors: Kondrótová Katarína
    Abstract:

    Cílem této práce bude identifikovat selhání a nedostatky zpravodajské komunity Spojených států amerických, které umožnily provedení teroristických útoků v září 2001, a posléze zanalyzovat, jestli na ně reforma z roku 2004 reagovala adekvátně. Práce bude sledovat vývoj zpravodajských praktik ve Spojených státech, se zaměřením na selhání které nastali před a počas září 2001. Následně rozebere reformní zákon Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act z roku 2004 a zhodnotí, jestli napravil tato selhání a vylepšil tím kontrateroristické opatření v kontextu Spojených států, a teda i mezinárodně. Práce by měla poskytnout odpovědi na nasledující otázky: Byl zákon IRTPA vhodnou reakcí na teroristické útoky v září 2001? Jaký byl jeho dopad na americkou zpravodajskou komunitu?The purpose of this thesis will be to identify the failures and shortcomings of the US Intelligence community which allowed the 9/11 terrorist attacks to take place, and analyze whether the subsequent Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 managed to address them appropriately. The paper will examine the Development of Intelligence practices in the USA, focusing on the failures that occurred before and during 9/11, and analyze the appositeness of the 2004 reform for fixing these failures and improving counter-terrorism measures in the US and internationally. Towards the end, it should provide answers to the following questions: Was the IRTPA a suitable response to 9/11? How did it affect the American Intelligence community

  • using the antisaccade task to investigate the relationship between the Development of inhibition and the Development of Intelligence
    Developmental Science, 2009
    Co-Authors: Fiona Michel, M Anderson
    Abstract:

    A number of authors have proposed models of cognitive Development that explain improvements in Intelligence over the course of childhood via changes in the efficiency of inhibitory processes (Anderson, 2001; Bjorklund & Harnishfeger, 1990; Dempster, 1991, 1992; Dempster & Corkill, 1999a; Harnishfeger, 1995; Harnishfeger & Bjorklund, 1993). A review of the literature reveals little empirical support for the thesis. This is largely due to a failure to distinguish between age-related and non-age-related changes in both inhibitory ability and Intelligence. Empirical evidence is presented from a Developmental study employing the antisaccade task to provide support for the role of inhibitory processes in the Development of Intelligence. Additionally, a case is made for a functional difference underlying antisaccade errors that are subsequently corrected and those that remain uncorrected.

  • Robotics and Development of Intellectual Abilities in Children
    2015
    Co-Authors: Miguel Angel, Perez Alvarez
    Abstract:

    It is necessary to transform the educative experiences into the classrooms so that they favor the develop-ment of intellectual abilities of children and teenagers. We must take advantage of the new opportunities that offer information technologies to organize learning environments which they favor those experiences. We considered that to arm and to program robots, of the type of LEGO Mind Storms or the so called “crickets”, developed by M. Resnik from MIT, like means so that they children them and young people live experiences that favor the Development of their intellectual abilities, is a powerful alternative to the traditional educative systems. They are these three tasks those that require a reflective work from pedagogy and epistemology urgently. Robotics could become in the proper instrument for the Development of Intelligence because it works like a mirror for the intellectual processes of each individual, its abilities like epistemologist and, there

  • Genetic and Environmental Influences on the Development of Intelligence
    Behavior Genetics, 2002
    Co-Authors: M. Bartels, M. J. H. Rietveld, G. C. M. Van Baal, D. I. Boomsma
    Abstract:

    Measures of Intelligence were collected in 209 twin pairs at 5, 7, 10, and 12 years of age, as part of a longitudinal project on Intelligence, brain function, and behavioral problems. Intelligence was measured at 5, 7, and 10 years of age with the RAKIT, a well-known Dutch Intelligence test, consisting of 6 subscales. At 12 years of age, the complete WISC-R was administered (12 subscales). Both Intelligence tests resulted in a measure of full-scale IQ (FSIQ). Participation rate is around 93% at age 12. Correlation coefficients over time are high: (r(5–7) = .65; r(5–10) = .65; r(5–12) = .64; r(7–10) = .72; r(7–12) = .69 and r(10–12) = .78). Genetic analyses show significant heritabilities at all ages, with the expected increase of genetic influences and decrease of shared environmental influences over the years. Genetic influences seem to be the main driving force behind continuity in general cognitive ability, represented by a common factor influencing FSIQ at all ages. Shared environmental influences are responsible for stability as well as change in the Development of cognitive abilities, represented by a common factor influencing FSIQ at all ages and age-specific influences, respectively.
