    Discuss how the Mogao Cave 275 was the product of Silk Road Cultural Interaction.

    by Shujin Li

    Learning & Education, Vol.13, No.3, 2024; 11 Views, 9 PDF Downloads

    This study examines Mogao Cave 275 in Dunhuang, constructed during China’s Northern Liang Dynasty (397–495 CE), as a prime example of cultural exchange along the Silk Road. The cave’s location in a fragile mountainous area dictated the use of murals, statues, and distinctive architectural styles, reflecting diverse influences from Central Asia, India, and Persia. Through an analysis of the Maitreya Buddha statue, its posture, and iconography, the paper highlights parallels with Gandharan and Xinjiang art, while also tracing Chinese architectural features in the Que-style niches. Additionally, donor portraits in ethnic attire capture Silk Road communities’ cultural diversity and intermingling. By focusing on these elements, the study reveals Mogao Cave 275 as a symbol of Silk Road multiculturalism, integrating religious and artistic traditions across Eurasia.

A video game can change the brain, may improve empathy in middle schoolers

2018-09-12

A space-exploring robot crashes on a distant planet. In order to gather the pieces of its damaged spaceship, it needs to build emotional rapport with the local alien inhabitants. The aliens speak a different language but their facial expressions are remarkably humanlike.

This fantastical scenario is the premise of a video game developed for middle schoolers by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers to study whether video games can boost kids' empathy, and to understand how learning such skills can change neural connections in the brain.

Results published this week in npj Science of Learning (a Nature journal) reveal for the first time that, in as few as two weeks, kids who played a video game designed to train empathy showed greater connectivity in brain networks related to empathy and perspective taking. Some also showed altered neural networks commonly linked to emotion regulation, a crucial skill that this age group is beginning to develop, the study authors say.

Robots have power to significantly influence children's opinions

2018-09-12

Young children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions and decisions influenced by robots, according to new research.

The study, conducted at the University of Plymouth, compared how adults and children respond to an identical task when in the presence of both their peers and humanoid robots.

It showed that while adults regularly have their opinions influenced by peers, something also demonstrated in previous studies, they are largely able to resist being persuaded by robots.

However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect.
