Theory of cognitive development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The sensorimotor stage is the first of four stages of cognitive development theorized by Jean Piaget. According to Piaget, this child in the sensorimotor stage primarily explores the world with her senses, rather than through mental operations. The second such stage, from six weeks to four months, is primarily focused on the development of habits. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sensorimotor

Tanner stages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The stages define physical measurements of development which can be used to judge a person's age. The Tanner stages (also known as the Tanner scale) are stages of physical The Tanner stages were first identified by (and named for) en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tanner_stages

Stage combat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Stage Combat is a specialized technique in theatre designed to create the illusion of physical combat without causing harm to the performers. There continues to be a steady rise in standards, sophistication, and audience expectations for stage combat, especially in cinema; for example, a comparison of combat in early Star Wars films to their sequels two decades later demonstrates a dramatic difference in the level of complexity and realism. Even stage combat is risky, and it is preferable for actors to have as much training and experience as possible. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stage_combat   (1130 words)

Development stage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As the second major stage in the development cycle, following the alpha stage, it is named after the Greek letter beta, the second letter in the Greek alphabet. The stages may be formally announced and regulated by the project's developers, but sometimes the terms are used informally to describe the state of a product. Usually developers of freeware or open-source betas release them to the general public while proprietary betas go to a relatively small group of testers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Development_stage   (1369 words)

Play - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Plays are generally performed in a theatre by actors. A play is a common form of literature, usually consisting chiefly of dialog between characters, and usually intended for performance rather than reading.

Phallic stage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The phallic stage is the third of Freud's psychosexual stages, when awareness of and manipulation of the genitals is supposed to be a primary source of pleasure. Freud believed that it was natural for female children in this stage to focus on the clitoris as their primary organ for sexual pleasure. According to Freud, this stage first occurs around the age of five and a half years. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Phallic_stage   (167 words)

Faunal stage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Thus, for example, a North American paleontologist finding fragments of the trilobite Olenellus would identify the beds as being from the Waucoban Stage whereas fragments of a later trilobite such as Elrathia would identify the stage as Albertan. Faunal stages are a subdivision of geologic time used primarily by paleontologists who study fossils rather than by geologists who study rock formations. In recent years, regional and global correlations of rock sequences have become relatively certain and there is less need for faunal labels to refine the age of formations. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Faunal_stage   (266 words)

Butterfield Stage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Butterfield Stage, also known as Butterfield Overland Stage and Butterfield Overland Mail, was a stagecoach route in the United States, operating from 1857 to 1861. Although the Pony Express is often credited with being the first fast mail line across the North American continent from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast, the Butterfield Stage predated the Pony Express by nearly three years. This route was an extra 600 miles more than what competing companies such as the Wells Fargo Stage would travel, and would eventually be acquired by Wells Fargo itself to cover John Butterfield's business debts to Messrs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Butterfield_Stage   (366 words)

Theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Theatre is that branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience using combinations of speech, gesture, music, dance, sound and spectacle — indeed any one or more elements of the other performing arts. The richness of live theatre today is such that its practitioners can borrow from all of these elements and more, and present something that is a multi-disciplinary melange of pretty much everything. There is a particularly long tradition of political theatre, intended to educate audiences on contemporary issues and encourage social change. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Theatre   (1251 words)

Excessive Candour And here the story--a recounting of the first stages of Tanner Mirabel's hunt across the stars to revenge himself against a man named Reivich who had gunned down his employer--halts completely for a bit of sightseeing. It is all right because, in the end, we fall like plumb lines into the chasm at the heart of the book, and find out things about Tanner's multiple innards, and find out things about the universe. Rather like Chasm City itself, he is a thin swab of slurry overlying some very deep story indeed. www.scifi.com /sfw/issue213/excess.html   (1251 words)

Stage management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Once the house opens, the stage manager essentially takes control, calling the cues for all transitions (this is known as being "on the book", the book being the script in which the cues and blocking are written), as well as acting as communications hub for the cast and crew. As the lighting and sound cues are developed, the stage manager meticulously records the timing of each as it relates to the script and other aspects of the performance. As an example, a typical lighting cue would be "lights 38, stand by", with the light board operator replying, "standing by", and in turn the stage manager's "lights 38, go" setting everything in motion at the appropriate time. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stage_manager   (444 words)

Preoperational stage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Preoperational stage is the second of four stages of cognitive development theorized in Piaget's theory. The next stage in Piaget's theory of cognitive development is the Concrete Operational stage. By observing sequences of play, Piaget was able to demonstrate that towards the end of the second year a qualitatively quite new kind of psychological functioning occurs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Preoperational   (204 words)

Stage diving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This means that that stage diving is near impossible, although people wanting to do it for the purpose of surfing can still succeed as they are often given a boost by people in the crowd. Stage diving is the act of getting onto the stage at a concert while a band is playing—usually heavy metal or punk rock—and then diving into the crowd below, hoping they will catch you. Stage diving has caused some serious injuries when the stage diver has not been caught by the audience below and they have hit the floor with some force, sometimes head first. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stage_diving   (328 words)

Stage lighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Moving lights or intelligent fixtures were originally implemented in 1972, but the first computer-controlled stage lighting fixtures began to gain widespread acceptance in the concert industry in the early 1980's. The apparent colour of a light is determined largely by the gel colour given it, but also in part by the power level the lamp is being run at and the colour of material is it to light. Solid state dimmers can be controlled from multiple sites, or by a computer controlled by lighting desks connected to dimmers and, in the case of luminaires and other remotely-controllable fixtures, directly using 5-pin cable through which the DMX protocol. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stage_lighting   (3158 words)

Anal retentive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After the anal stage the child's development will be able to move on to the " phallic stage " when the child's focus of attention will shift to the genital region. In common usage, the phrases "anally retentive", "anal retentive" or "anal" are used to describe a certain style of behaviour, and it is implied that this is due to a person clenching their anal sphincter, causing retention of feces (although this is not necessarily literally the case). The term anal retentive (or anally retentive) is one of a variety of examples of Freudian terminology which have found their way into common usage with a slight shift in the original meaning. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anal_retentive   (171 words)

Blocking (stage) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Blocking is a theatre term which refers to the precise movement and positioning of actors on a stage in order to facilitate the performance of a play, ballet, or opera. During the blocking rehearsal usually the assistant director or the stage manager (or both) take notes about where actors are positioned and their movement patterns on stage. It is especially important for the stage manager to note the actors' positions, as a director is not usually present for each performance of a play and it becomes the stage manager's job to ensure that actors follow the assigned blocking from night to night. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Blocking_(stage)   (171 words)

Piano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Broadwood firm, which sent pianos to both Haydn and Beethoven, was the first to build pianos with a range of more than five octaves: five octaves and a fifth during the 1790s, six by 1810 (in time for Beethoven to use the extra notes in his later works), and seven by 1820. With the exception of the toy piano, these instruments are called "piano" by virtue of being keyboard instruments but are electric or electronic in nature, not acoustic.

The Freud Page/ Glossary/ Phallic Stage During the phallic stage, the culmination of the Oedipus Complex (which connotes the child's situation in the triangular relationship), follows different paths for both sexes in the process of its dissolution: threat of castration (boys) and the desire for a baby as a symbolic equivalent to the penis (girls). It corresponds to the unification of the component instincts under the primacy of the genital organs, from infancy onwards, being an organization of sexuality very close to that of the adult (genital stage). For the first time, in "The Infantile Genital Organisation" (1923), Freud defines the phallic stage (3-5 years of age) that succeeds the oral and anal stages, which are pregenital organizations. www.geocities.com /~mhrowell/phallic_stage.html   (410 words)
