Now that we understand ethos, logos, and pathos, let's apply this knowledge. We'll analyze a short argument together.

Here's an actual transcript from a TED Talk by Dr. Michelle Rodriguez, an esteemed psychologist specializing in neurodiversity and education.

Please read the transcript and identify instances of ethos, logos, or pathos used by Dr. Rodriguez. You may post your answers in the comment section for this column.

Transcript Excerpt (from Dr. Michelle Rodriguez's TED Talk):

"I stand before you today not just as a psychologist, but as a mother of an autistic child. This personal experience has deeply shaped my understanding of neurodiversity. Let me share some compelling data with you. According to recent studies conducted at renowned research institutions, students with neurodivergent traits exhibit exceptional cognitive abilities and unique perspectives. It's time we challenge the prevailing notion that neurodiversity equates to deficit. Let me illustrate this with a heartfelt story. I had the privilege of working with a young boy with autism who displayed incredible artistic talents. Through fostering his strengths and providing the right support, he thrived and now expresses himself through his artwork, inspiring others in the process."

Here are the Top 100 Tools for learning generated from the 17th Annual Tools for Learning survey. There were a total of 2,022 votes and this year there were more votes from the education sector than last year, which is why many of the educational tools have regained lost ground on this year's list. New tools on the list are shaded yellow in the table below, and tools returning to the list are shaded green. The big news for this year is that ChatGPT has jumped straight into the chart in the No 4 place. 2023 is the year that AI has finally taken off.

1. Limitations of working memory: Working memory has a limited capacity, so we should avoid overloading it with excessive information.

2. Dual channels: Utilizing both visual and auditory channels enhances comprehension and retention.

3. Limited capacity: Presentations should avoid overwhelming viewers by presenting too much information simultaneously.

4. Relevance: Focusing on information that aligns with viewers' goals and interests increases engagement and understanding.

5. Appropriate knowledge: Tailoring presentations to the audience's level of knowledge and expertise ensures effective communication.

6. Redundancy: Using redundancy can reinforce key information, aiding memory retention.

7. Spatial contiguity: Placing related visual and auditory information close together promotes better comprehension.

8. Temporal contiguity: Presenting related visual and auditory information simultaneously aids in understanding."

TASK:
Simplify ONE of the complex academic texts below without losing its essential meaning.

Aim for clarity and simplicity.

Remember, the goal is effective communication!

TEXT 1:

The positive manifold of correlations among different cognitive tasks, which reflects the fact that a person who does well on one cognitive task tends to do well on others, is a foundational phenomenon in cognitive psychology, but the mechanism underlying this manifold remains elusive.

TEXT 2:

Cognitive deficits in working memory, response inhibition, and reward sensitivity have been identified as significant contributing factors in the etiology of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), yet their relative impact on behavioral performance and ratings of ADHD symptoms are still not fully understood.

TEXT 3:

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often display impairments in social interaction and communication, but the neuropsychological processes underpinning these deficits, specifically the role of Theory of Mind (ToM), are not fully elucidated.

Hello, I'm Marina! I am a Senior Lecturer in Educational Psychology. I teach and do research in the area of Cognitive Sciences of Teaching and Learning.

I have taught Thinking Skills and Educational Psychology at the undergraduate level and seven other courses at the graduate level: Applied Cognitive Psychology, Problem-solving and Decision-making, Thinking and Reasoning, Psychology of Attitude Formation and Change, Academic Reading, Classroom Interaction, and Research Methods.

I won the Vice-Chancellor Fellowship Award for Excellence in Teaching from HRH Sultan Sharafuddin of Selangor in 2018.

My research areas include investigating moment-by-moment learning processes, measuring cognitive performance across the lifespan, analyzing interaction in collaborative learning environments, assessing the development of student argumentation and reasoning skills, evaluating classroom interventions aimed at improving children's cognitive outcomes, and promoting emergent literacy skills among underserved populations.

A previous research member of the University of Illinois' Center for the Study of Reading, I am currently a research associate at UPM's Innovative Learning Sciences Research Centre of Excellence (INNOVATE) and Universiti Malaysia Kelantan's (UMK) Institute for Research and Poverty Management (InsPeK). I am now leading the establishment of [email protected] which aims at spearheading transdisciplinary research on learning experiences in various settings.

I was appointed by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia as a task force member in designing the implementation of curriculum guidelines for transdisciplinary-based academic programs in Malaysian public universities via transdisciplinary makerspaces and guidelines for MOOC credit transfer. Currently, I have been reappointed as a task force member of the Experiential Learning and Competency-based Education Landscape (EXCEL) initiative under the same Ministry.

I have conducted numerous national and international training on promoting use of heutagogical tools and virtual learning platforms to engage digital natives. I have recently served as a consultant to UNESCO-ICHEI's initiative on technology-enhanced innovations in higher education across the Asia Pacific region. I am now a co-founder of the ME4A movement, designing and promoting the country's first media literacy curriculum to address issues of information disorder.

I'm always learning and love to help, so do say hi through any of the social links below!
