CHRISTIAN RONALDO SET FOR REVENGE AGAINST VALENCIA

Cristiano Ronaldo is in hot form and gunning for revenge going into Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Valencia after seeing red against the Spaniards in the away leg, with Juventus needing a draw in Turin to book their ticket to the knockout rounds of the European competition.

“Happy to have helped the team on another important win,” the 33-year-old wrote on social media after scoring his tenth goal this season for the Italian giants in Saturday’s 2-0 win over SPAL as Juventus opened up a record eight-point lead on the top of Serie A after 13 games.

Ronaldo was purchased by Juventus for €100m from Real Madrid last summer to help their quest for the elusive Champions League title after finishing runners up twice in the past four seasons.

But the Portuguese superstar is also proving to be a key element in the team’s race towards an eighth straight Serie A title, with nine goals and five assists of their 28 goals this season.

No Italian team have ever achieved 37 points from the first 13 games, with Ronaldo becoming the fastest forward in the club’s history to score 10 goals in all competitions.

BRIEF HISTORY OF COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY

Another development in the mid twentieth century with a huge import for the development of cognitive psychology was the opening up of a new field concerned with the possibility of designing and then building computers. Building on earlier work that developed a formal, or mathematical approach to logical reasoning, Claude Shannon in 1938 showed how core aspects of reasoning could be implemented in simple electrical circuits. In the 1940s, McCulloch and Pitts showed how it was possible to model the behaviour of simple (and idealized) neurons in terms of logic. Taken together, these developments suggested something that at the time seemed extraordinary – that the brain’s activity could, at least in principle, be implemented by simple electrical circuits. In parallel with these developments, the 1930s and 1940s saw pioneering theoretical developments in computation and information processing. Turing, in 1936, developed an abstract specification for a machine (a Turing mach...

TENDERS

A tender is where goods are to be sold or work undertaken, and the person proposing it wants to investigate whether there are people prepared to buy the items or undertake the work. Tenders are invited which are then considered, and a buyer or a worker chosen from among the tenderers. Some principles emerge, again based on the normal rules of offer and acceptance, but modified to deal with the particular situation of tenders. Single offer tenders A statement that goods are to be sold by tender is not an offer for sale, and there is no obligation to sell to the person making the highest tender. It is, rather, an enquiry into the viability of a transaction. Spencer v Harding (1870) is an example of a single offer tender, where a sale takes place on one occasion. Those submitting tenders make offers, from which a tender may be selected and accepted, forming a contract. There is generally no obligation to choose the highest or lowest tender, or to accept any ten...

A BRIEF HISTORY OF COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY

A brief history of cognitive psychology Cognitive psychology did not begin at any one defining moment, and there are many antecedents to its evolution as a branch of enquiry. In this section we will briefly sketch some of those antecedents and try to indicate how and why they resulted in the development of what today we call cognitive psychology. However, all written history is necessarily selective and simplified, and a historical account as brief as the one we are about to give must be especially so. We start with introspectionism. INTROSPECTIONISM: Modern experimental psychology has its roots in the work conducted in Europe in the mid nineteenth century by such people as Donders, Fechner, Helmholtz and Mach. When Wundt established the first dedicated psychology laboratory in Liepzig in 1879, he sought to build upon the efforts of these pioneers. He took consciousness to be the proper subject matter of psychology. According to Wundt, physical scientists study t...
