Frontiers in Psychology: A Theory of Mental Frameworks


Thank you to Drew Nelson, Kristin Simmers, Cynthia Borja, and our amazing unicorn of a colleague and mentor, Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa, for the incredible learning journey of co-authoring this paper!


Our team's theory article was published this summer and is open-access for those who are interested in exploring it. We propose a transdisciplinary theory of mental frameworks for educators that attempts to honor findings from the learning sciences (including mind/psychology, brain/neuroscience, and education), and pulls from other worlds like business and engineering. The paper offers a series of evidence-based ideas for how (and why) to encourage students to cultivate cognitive flexibility and build adaptive tool kits for problem-solving, in and out of school. Please share your perspectives and feedback, and test or challenge the ideas put forth in this article. We would very much appreciate it!

It’s a perfect example of…

While the campaign delivers the intrigue, it's Call of Duty's multiplayer that keeps players invested long after release. Early reports about Black Ops 7's multiplayer buy CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies suggest a mix of classic game modes and new, era-appropriate additions.


Iconic modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Search & Destroy are reportedly returning, alongside fan-favorite playlists such as Gun Game and Prop Hunt. New modes said to be in development include “Covert Extraction”, where two squads race to secure sensitive intel and extract it before the enemy does, all while AI enemies patrol the map.


Expect a Cold War-appropriate arsenal of weapons, featuring early-'90s firearms like the MP5SD, M16A2, AK-74, and M9 pistol, alongside experimental Black Ops…
