This concept originated from observations by some of the pioneers in the study of animal behaviour. For example, Konrad Lorenz examined a dramatic example of a critical period: imprinting in birds. Newly hatched birds will become indelibly attached, or imprinted, to almost any prominent moving object in their environment, normally their mother. Such imprinting can only occur during a critical period soon after hatching. In some species this period lasts only a few hours. Once the attachment is formed, the birds will follow the “imprinted” object to the exclusion of all others; subsequent experience won’t alter the behaviour. Neuroscientists explain this phenomenon with neuronal correlates that underlie imprinting. In one model system, the guinea fowl, changes in neurons in the forebrain correlate with imprinting to an auditory stimulus. Another dramatic example shows that visual experience during a critical period determines how much of the visual cortex is devoted to processing input from each eye and the degree to which binocular inputs are combined (Hubel et al. 1977). If one eye of a kitten is closed during a certain critical period, the structures for this eye in the visual cortex won’t develop normally. Thus, visually guided behaviours mediated by the deprived eye are severely and permanently impaired.","PeriodicalId":150890,"journal":{"name":"International Investment Law and Globalization","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121907940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

You will be joining an active and engaged alumni body that now numbers more than 3,000 and is working in countries and communities around the globe to translate the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness principles into practice: enhancing local ownership, mutual accountability, and transparency and managing for results through better evaluation. The Faculty of Public Affairs is proud to support your efforts and commitment to strengthening evaluation capacity as part of a long-term effort to reduce global poverty and achieve sustainable growth. From our teaching faculty and students to our university administrators, the Carleton community has enjoyed its partnership with the World Bank and learned much from the presence of IPDET participants on campus. Many of you have stayed in touch, and we value those relationships. Past participants have found that Carleton University provides a positive learning environment and a warm and welcoming \" home away from home. \" I know that you will as well. While you are here, I invite you to learn about the resources available at Carleton University for further study and about Ottawa, Canada's capital. As the new director-general, Evaluation, for the World Bank Group, I am pleased to invite you to attend IPDET 2012. I have worked in evaluation in recent years with the World Food Programme, International Fund for Agriculture Development, and Asian Development Bank, among others. In each position, I have been keenly aware of the need to build evaluation capacity in the international development community in part through high-quality, relevant, and intensive training. I have long recognized IPDET as an outstanding source of development evaluation training for its breadth and depth of coverage. I have also noted IPDET's commitment to its own evaluation and its use of the evaluation findings for continuous improvement, which has kept it strong over the past 11 years and counting! Now it is my pleasure to champion our collaboration with Carleton University on IPDET. I know that the skills and insights you will gain at IPDET 2012 will help you to produce stronger evaluations of development interventions. In turn, these evaluations will better inform decision makers of which programs are achieving results and which are not, and you will be contributing to improving development …","PeriodicalId":150890,"journal":{"name":"International Investment Law and Globalization","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126386302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
