| cognitive process | “the process involved in knowing, or the act of knowing, which in its completeness includes perception and judgment. Cognition includes all processes of consciousness by which knowledge is accumulated, such as perceiving, recognizing, conceiving, and reasoning.

| complexity | Complexity, however, refers to systems that have a very large number of component parts and, most importantly: that are not reducible to those parts; they exhibit emergent (unpredictable, self-organizing, self-generating) properties, resulting in their being more than the sum of their parts. | Don Kiraly in Towards Authentic Experiential Learning in Translator Education (2015: 62) | complexity theory, cosmopolitan sociology, emergentist epistemology |

| EEG | "An electroencephalogram is a test used to evaluate the electrical activity in the brain. Brain cells communicate with each other through electrical impulses. [...] The test tracks and records brain wave patterns. Small, flat metal discs called electrodes are attached to the scalp with wires. The electrodes analyze the electrical impulses in the brain and send signals to a computer, where the results are recorded." | Healthline.com

| knowledge | In the context of educational philosophy, the post-positivist mind-set encourages us to view cognition itself as just such an emergent adaptive system. It does not involve static knowledge as much as it does dynamic knowing - constantly changing, imminently situated and embodied thinking-in-action [...] | Don Kiraly in Towards Authentic Experiential Learning in Translator Education (2015: 62) | learning process, learning system, pedagogy |

| teachers´s role | An emergentist view not only allows but requires teachers to climb down from their pedestals of omniscient authority, and it implies an obligatory change in their roles from distillers and transmitters of knowledge to guides and companions on the students´ road to experience and expertise. | Don Kiraly in Towards Authentic Experiential Learning in Translator Education (2015: 64) | learning system, knowledge, emergentist pedagogical epistemology |
