History is a thematic analysis of certain events while excluding others. When history is only seen from one perspective it excludes actual writings and positions from individuals who differ from this pre-established perspective. For example, in the United States when they discuss the Cold War and its "flare ups" across the third world, they rarely analyze the trauma they inflicted on those countries (like Vietnam, Angola, Iran, Nicaragua, Chile, etc.) and see the war as a proxy contest between the United States and Soviet Union. Or, there is a consistent belief that the United States defeated the Nazis, which fails to take into account that the Soviets bore the brunt of the Nazi military forces and drove the Nazis out of Eastern Europe without Allied military assistance while over 30 different national armies (led by the US and UK) won the Western and Southern fronts which were more lightly defended.

These views of history fail to take into account perspectives which clash with the dominant pre-established perspective and this is why they are problematic. They prevent all of the facts from being properly weighed and assessed.

How is latent learning different from the kinds of active learning that are achieved when you are trying to achieve a goal?

Latent learning is learning that occurs without any obvious reinforcement or motivation, while active learning involves goal-oriented behavior that is driven by rewards or consequences. In latent learning, the knowledge is acquired passively and may not be immediately demonstrated, whereas in active learning, the learner is actively engaged in problem-solving or task completion to achieve a specific outcome.

Explain a learning curve at 80 percent rate of learning?

A learning curve shows that with each successive repetition of any action, there will require less learning on the part of the doer. Upon completion of the first unit a given time was required, while the second unit will require less time as the doer has become more efficient and requires less to learn. With each subsequent unit completed the time will continue to decrease. The rate of learning is connected to the learning curve as a function of one less the percent rate. For 80% rate of learning the slope of the learning curve will be 1 less 80% or 1 less 0.8 = 0.2 or 20%. With each subsequent unit produced it would only require 20% of the previous unit's time. If the first unit took 100 hours, the next would take only 20, the third would require only 4 hours and the fifth only .8 hours or 48 minutes. (8/10*60min./hr=48minutes). Because the feasibility of completing subsequent units at a continual reduced rate is not a reality, there is a limit to the learning curve, at an optimal completion time.


Is it possible to change your learning style?

Learning Styles Are About PreferencesIn virtually all studies and research into the differences in the way that one person learns from the way that another person learns it is found that people share almost all elements in common. What makes each person's style of learning unique is that people are found to have preferences for certain elements or options involved in the process of learning over other elements or options.The question might be asked, Is it possible to change your preferences for different elements or options in the learning process? In answer to this, it would probably be best to say that it is not clearly understood what makes these preferences, or how changeable they are, but as preferences they are only a kind of influence, even if a strong influence, and do not force a person, under most circumstances, to only learn well with one learning style.
