Podcasts about Declarative

The one who melts down at the smallest request, who seems to dig in the moment you say "do this."...you know this child.  In this episode I sit down with Casey Ehrlich, PhD — social scientist, founder of At Peace Parents, and a leader in the first peer-reviewed PDA research in the United States — to talk about PDA: what it is, why it's a nervous system response rather than defiance, and what actually helps. PDA isn't defiance. It's a survival-level drive for autonomy — and once you see that, you respond to the child in front of you completely differently. PDA most often stands for pathological demand avoidance, but many autistic people prefer pervasive (or persistent) drive for autonomy — because autonomy is right at the root of what activates the nervous system. Casey defines it as a survival drive for autonomy and equality that can override other survival instincts like eating, sleeping, toileting, and even safety. We talk through what PDA actually looks like in young children, why behavior that reads as oppositional or manipulative is so often a nervous-system response, and the practical, compassionate shifts that help a dysregulated child feel safe again — in the classroom and at home. We'll talk about: ●  what PDA stands for — and why many autistic people prefer "pervasive drive for autonomy" ●  why demand avoidance is a nervous system response, not manipulation or defiance ●  the five characteristics Casey looks for, including equalizing behavior ●  why we flip the order for PDA kids: nervous system and autonomy first ●  the difference between independence and autonomy ●  real strategies: signals of safety, declarative language, and rhythms over routines In This Episode, You'll Learn •  What PDA is, and why "pervasive or persistent drive for autonomy" may describe it better •  How a survival drive for autonomy can override eating, sleeping, toileting, and safety •  Why "equalizing behavior" can look oppositional but is actually a nervous-system response •  How to read the early signals that a child is moving toward fight-or-flight •  Why reducing spoken language and using declarative language lowers perceived demands •  How to send signals of safety with your face, tone, and body — and why getting low matters •  What the "four S's" — safe nervous system, screens, sensory/novelty, special interest — reveal about regulation •  Why repair and felt safety, not teaching, are the moves in the hard moment Key Takeaways •  PDA is a nervous system response, not defiance or manipulation •  Autonomy is at the root — a perceived loss of autonomy activates the survival brain •  For PDA kids, think nervous system and autonomy first, then sensory, executive function, and communication •  Independence is doing a task alone; autonomy is having a genuine say in what happens •  Signals of safety often matter more than words •  Declarative language lowers the demand a child perceives •  Think rhythms, not rigid routines — even a chosen routine can start to feel like lost autonomy •  Compassion over compliance — always Try This •  Pause and ask whether a behavior might be a nervous-system response to a perceived demand •  Lower the demand: swap questions and directions for declarative, observational statements •  Get low to the child's level and soften your face, tone, and pace •  Offer real autonomy — a genuine say, not just a choice between two adult-chosen options •  Reduce spoken language during escalation and wait for the child to re-engage •  Build in rhythms instead of rigid routines •  In the hard moment, focus on repair and felt safety, not on teaching the lesson Related Resources & Links

Linda Murphy describes declarative language as a positive, thoughtful communication style that emphasizes understanding, patience, respect, and kindness, and as you'll hear from our conversation, it is an ideal communication style for really all children, but especially neurodivergent children and kids whose nervous systems are triggered by demands or more imperative communication styles. We discussed the different ways we can communicate with our children, the language we use, and the effects that simple shifts in the way we have conversations can have in our daily interactions with them. We also explored what is declarative language versus imperative language, as well as the relationship between co-regulation and declarative language and why we should use them in tandem.  Things you'll learn from this episode * What it means to use declarative language (versus imperative language) * Why declarative language is so effective for neurodivergent children, and especially those who are wired to be more demand avoidance * Why declarative language is more effective when paired with co-regulation * Common language and communication styles that place demands on kids that we may not be aware of (including questions) * How to introduce declarative language communication and how it can support a child's learning and development * What we can hope to see in a child or an adolescent that has been on the receiving end of this style of communication * What to say instead of “Did you hear what I said”?

What if you could build charts in Python by describing what your data means, instead of scripting every visual detail? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week with another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

Declarative memory is used when consciously recalling information, big or small, usually in a sustained way. It’s also the type of memory you use every time you use memory techniques like the Memory Palace or basic mnemonics. That’s why these mental learning tools can sometimes feel effortful, especially when you’re new to using them. But that’s also why the effort fades with practice. So to give you a small sense of what declarative memory feels like, give this exercise a try: What’s the name of your first friend in school? Can you think about a specific event from the time you spent together? When I do this, my friend Ryan comes to mind. He was the first person to show me an American dollar, something that was unusual to see way up north where we lived in Canada. These facts about what took place, where we were and my personal familiarity with the memory: It all belongs to declarative memory. This is quite different from nondeclarative memory for reasons we’ll discuss on this page, updated for you on May 4, 2026 with more information and an audio podcast. So if you’re ready to take a deep dive into the nature of declarative memory, the role it plays in human experience and how you can enjoy greater success when using memory techniques, I consider knowing terms like this part of the “owner’s manual of the mind and memory.” Let’s get started! What Is Declarative Memory? Declarative memory is another term for explicit memory. It’s also sometimes called conscious memory. Knowing this definition matters a great deal for your memory training because this kind of memory is responsible for every act of encoding, from assigning Memory Palaces to placing vivid associations that make reviewing what you’ve studied using a Memory Palace much easier. William James first defined this type of memory back in 1890 when he wrote: The knowledge of a former state of mind after it has already once dropped from consciousness; or rather it is the knowledge of an event, or fact, of which we have not been thinking, with the additional consciousness that we have thought or experienced it before. Note the nuance here: Declarative memory isn’t necessarily true. Sometimes we confabulate certain facts, which means that memories can get distorted. Dr. Gary Small has discussed our memory as a kind of neighborhood in which parts of our memories travel from house to house, getting changed each and every time they travel. Nonetheless, declarative memory is the conscious awareness of knowledge that something in the past happened to you. And more often than not, our declarative memories are accurate enough. The Science of Declarative Memory Scientists use the term encoding to describe how memories form in the first place. A declarative memory is better when the encoding is elaborate and deep. But all too often, our encoding is limited and superficial, which is why I have shared these elaborative encoding exercises with you. In the absence of such exercises, a lot of the depth of encoding comes down to focused attention. If you’re not interested in something, you’re more likely to encode in a shallow way. But when we’re interested in topics and having fun, encoding at a deep level tends to happen very quickly. The Role of Declarative Memory Over Time Once encoding has been accomplished, declarative memories must be stored for future access in long-term memory. Once the encoding and storage stages are complete, scientists call the result an engram. This term literally refers to the sum total of all the changes in the brain from the moment of perception to the ushering of the information into storage. Engrams are distributed across the brain. Different brain regions seem to be specialized for particular kinds of storage to help with particular kinds of information retrieval. Take chess openings, for example. William Chase and Herbert Simon asked chess players of varying levels of skill to analyze a chessboard featuring between 26-32 chess pieces arranged in actual configurations you might see in a game. They found that Grandmasters vastly outperformed the analytical tasks they were given when looking at actual games. However, when the scientists repeated the experiment with the pieces distributed randomly on the board, Grandmasters did no better than anyone else at recalling details of the chessboard. This is because the trained regions of their brains could not help them in this new context. For this reason, when you wish to improve your working memory,  it’s important to note that playing games might build you skills within the game environments. But those skills might not transfer much, and possibly not at all. Declarative Memory Examples Remember how I gave a declarative memory definition above by saying that it’s the conscious recall of memories in a sustained way? This means that accessing the memory takes place over time, often substantial amounts of time. Here are some examples: One: Where You Were When Something Happened I was in a cafeteria at York University when a friend called. He said, “Find a TV!” “What’s going on?” I asked, but all he could do was repeat himself. That was the morning of September 11, 2001. And when I finally found a television, I was just in time to see the second tower struck during the September 11 attacks. In this sustained example of flashbulb memory, I’m drawing upon semantic facts and episodic memory. It’s an autobiographical memory too, and the common denominator amongst all of them is that I am consciously aware that all of the material is memory. This way of looking at declarative memory matters for your memory training because flashbulb memories show you what deep encoding looks like when you experience it naturally. That’s why mnemonist David Berglas refers to it in his excellent book, A Question of Memory, when he discusses “the Kennedy Effect.” His suggestion is that whenever you memorize something, you try to make the associations you use as striking as what happened to JFK. But you’re generating this kind of association between what you want to memorize and episodes of such historical impact not for entertainment. You’re doing it with a depth of purpose tailored towards creating recall. Using that level of emotional intensity is tremendously helpful for ensuring the precious information you want to remember sticks. Two: Trivia Who doesn’t love to play from home during an episode of Jeopardy? As the answers appear on the screen, you get a great brain workout trying to arrive at the answer in the form of question. This is all declarative memory due to your conscious engagement in the process. You’re not just passively trying to arrive at the answer. You’re actively searching your memory and trying to do so fast enough to beat the clock. Now, this is not necessarily the same thing as sharing details about your favorite author, composer or artist during a conversation. Usually, there’s no pressure in such contexts. How they do relate is that we usually don’t memorize such facts deliberately. Such facts enter your memory implicitly, a kind of memory we’ll talk about a little bit further on. If you do want to deliberately memorize information for trivia night at the pub, however, here’s a tutorial on how to do it. Three: Locations And Directions Locations are related to trivia in some contexts. But more broadly, if someone asks you for directions, you’ll be drawing on your declarative memory to explain how a person can find the desire target. This process will take place even if you have aphantasia, which is the lack of a mind’s eye. People with this condition can both give and follow directions. That said, as science journalist Christopher Kemp has shown in Dark & Magical Places, not everyone has the same navigation abilities. It’s not entirely clear if the issues he outlines come down to declarative memory, but something called place cells are involved in navigational accuracy. Assuming you don’t have navigation issues like Kemp has reported, locations you know give your declarative memory rich and reliable options to work with for memorizing information. Four: Critical Thinking Anytime you turn on your thinking engines, you’ll be drawing upon declarative memory. General reasoning draws upon facts, as does specific, objective reasoning. And whenever you’ve got your inner Sherlock running to deduce or induce conclusions, you’ll probably also be drawing upon facts you already know. This is why memory training does far more than help you pass exams or recall names. The quality of your thinking depends on the quality of what you can retrieve, how accurately and how quickly. In other words, you can only reason using accessible facts. If your encoding is shallow when trying to memorize information, those facts won’t be there when you need them. To help you better understand this, think about the last time you tried to form an opinion during a discussion about something complicated. Your brain needed to pull together things you’d read, heard and experienced, all while weighing one piece of evidence against the other. All of this activity drew upon your declarative memory and the quality of how it fed your reasoning was based on how much material your brain could access. This is why I often say, “the more you learn the more you can learn.” You’re able to use the element of thinking and reasoning while using memory techniques, as described by the great memory teachers Peter of Ravenna, Jacobus Publicius and Giordano Bruno. What's the Difference Between Declarative and Nondeclarative Memory? In brief, it comes down to your conscious intention to recall information. Whereas with implicit memory (also known as nondeclarative memory you’re not conscious of either learning or recalling, declarative memory involves awareness. Larry R. Squire highlights another key difference in the Journal of Neuroscience. Your declarative memory can dictate how you describe your behavior in response to stimuli. As he explains it: An aversive childhood event such as being knocked down by a large dog might lead to a stable declarative memory for the event itself as well as a long-lasting fear of dogs (a nondeclarative memory) that is experienced as a personality trait rather than as a memory. In other words, our self-perception of early experiences guides how we describe their influence on their lives. But the influence itself comes from an early, nondeclarative memory experience. Procedural memory can also play a role, such as constantly acting out a learned helplessness around dogs. Why This Distinction Matters for Your Memory Training Since most people read the Magnetic Memory Method blog or listen to my podcast to improve their memory, it will be helpful for you to understand how declarative memory is involved in using most of the techniques I share in my mnemonics dictionary and Magnetic Memory Method Masterclass. Think about the last time you used a Memory Palace. (Or if the technique is new to you, check out my complete guide to using the Memory Palace technique). When you select a station in a Memory Palace, you consciously choose it. Then, when placing a mnemonic association, you use mnemonic techniques to generate and elaborate it. Every step requires your complete attention. And that’s an example of declarative memory doing the heavy lifting. If it feels slow or awkward, that’s not because memory techniques don’t work. It’s just a lack of training and practice in using them. Why Practice Will Always Remain Essential When you use memory techniques frequently enough, you will eventually need to spend less conscious effort bringing Memory Palace stations to mind. And the more familiarity you have with mnemonic tools like Memory Wheels, the Major System and a PAO System, your use of the techniques will happen faster. Later, when you practice retrieval through spaced repetition, your memory will serve you the target information at a faster rate. It might never feel completely effortless. But as procedural memory grows, using memory techniques will feel like riding a bike. You do have to rotate the pedals, but you don’t have to think about all the various operations that go into operating the bike and navigating it to reach a destination. The more you use Memory Palaces while generating and placing associations, the more it will be just like riding a bike with a feeling of automaticity. Mnemonic Encoding is Always Declarative Every time I create a new association, whether for memorizing something in Latin, my new law school project, Sanskrit, Chinese or the poetry I memorize, I have to consciously draw upon parts of the mind that involve declarative memory. And if you’re a medical student memorizing the cranial nerves, you can certainly use rote repetition. But that requires a lot of effort compared to using a Memory Palace paired with vivid associations. That’s because when you revise the information you’ve placed, you’ll be drawing upon those associations, many of which will involve episodic and autobiographical memories. You’re exercising multiple levels, strengthening the memory from a number of angles. Then, when you sit for an exam and face a question about the facial nerve, retrieval will have become procedural. And that will free up your mind to think about clinical applications rather than burning up cognitive resources just trying to remember basic anatomical names and facts. So the next time your encoding feels clunky and taking too much deliberate effort, don’t worry. Part of what’s happening is just an effect of how memory works. You’re actually drawing upon your declarative memory and it is doing its job relative to your study and practice of memory techniques. Chances are, you’ve just come across information that you’ve never tried to encode before and need a bit more time to think it through. Keep studying memory techniques and you’ll get better and faster overall. And when the gears grind to a halt, you’ll know that you just have to keep moving. That’s what I’ve always done and it has helped me memorize far more than I ever thought possible. How To Avoid The Corruption Of Your Declarative Memory As you’ve discovered, this aspect of your memory is not bullet proof. You can consciously feel that a memory is 100% accurate, but wind up recalling things that are either exaggerated or simply not true. Fortunately, there are ways to fend this off from happening. For one thing, you can see a lot of improvement simply by focusing on improving your sleep. You can also use memory techniques. There are countless studies showing just how strong these methods are for improving your ability to recall information accurately. Mnemonology is one particularly good and scholarly book that makes these studies accessible to anyone. Other options involve studying music, learning languages or learning to give speeches. You can also focus on preserving your non-declarative memory as an indirect approach. If you’d like help in any of these areas, I suggest you start with my FREE Memory Improvement Kit: It will help you commit anything you wish to memory. And give your declarative memory a great workout too. So what do you say? Do you now understand this critical aspect of your memory? Get out there and “declare” that you are a master of memory and put it to good use. It’s a powerful asset!

The Holy Spirit gives us gifts that we are meant to use in partnership with God as He leads us through life. The declarative gifts are meant to express the heart of God to someone and encourage them to move forward in their journey with Him.Speaker: Tony Shupp

In this episode of the By Any Means Coaches Podcast, Tyler Clark sits down with Stuart Armstrong to explore one of the most misunderstood concepts in coaching: talent. Stuart breaks down why most systems confuse early ability with long-term potential, introducing his “talent equation” and the idea that unseen qualities, like: emotional regulation, resilience, and decision-making, are the real multipliers of development. The conversation challenges traditional talent identification models and pushes coaches to think beyond the “ripe banana” mindset of selecting athletes who are simply ahead early.The discussion then expands into practice design, coach education, and the ecological dynamics framework. Stuart shares how environments, not just instruction, shape learning, why “talent needs turbulence” (not trauma), and how coaches can better design sessions using variability, constraints, and athlete-centered feedback. From dismantling outdated drill-based approaches to developing intuition as a coach, this episode offers both philosophical depth and highly practical tools for coaches trying to bridge theory and real-world application.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to Stuart Armstrong and his background in coach development 03:50 – Defining talent vs. skill and why most systems misidentify talent 08:00 – The “talent equation” and the importance of unseen attributes 14:30 – “Ripe bananas” vs. long-term potential in athlete development 19:40 – Does adversity shape talent?

Surveys show students increasingly turning to AI as a tool for their school work. Teachers who want to limit AI usage during instructional time still have many options on table—but what should they do about homework and other assigned out-of-class essays and projects? Given that the topic of homework already has been quite controversial before bringing AI into the conversation, this felt like a good time to exchange ideas about what it can and should mean to assign work outside of the classroom right now. Joining this conversation is Brett Vogelsinger, another high school English teacher who sees things around this topic quite a bit differently than Marcus—which hopefully is the makings of a meaningful discussion. Brett is the author of two books, Poetry Pauses and Artful AI in Writing Instruction, and is also starting a new Substack newsletter: Declarative, Imperative, Interrogative, Explanatory.

Kaelynn Partlow is an autism advocate and author, and one of the stars of the Netflix series, Love on the Spectrum. Today she joins Emily to talk about her experiences with autism, and they cover a lot of ground in this conversation. They discuss the evolution and effectiveness of ABA therapy, the need for accurate labeling, and using declarative language in communication. They also offer advice for parents of newly diagnosed children, and talk about the importance of finding community. TAKEAWAYS The world will label children if parents don't. The superpower label is a double-edged sword. Nuance is often lost in discussions about autism. Profound autism requires specific understanding and advocacy. Declarative language can reduce pressure in communication. Specific questions help autistic individuals engage better. Finding community is essential for parents of autistic children. Have Emily come and speak to your school district, company, or organization. Here's where you can find out more and get in touch.

Welcome to Episode 402 of the Microsoft Cloud IT Pro Podcast. In today's episode, we're thrilled to have Andrew Connell (AC) joining us once again. If you've been with us for a while, you'll recognize AC as a repeat guest and one of the early voices who encouraged us to launch this podcast. In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of Microsoft Copilot agents from a bit of a developer's perspective . We expand on insights from Episode 400 and helping us understand some additional intricacies of how Copilot works under the hood. We'll break down the different billing models and some limitations in what they provide and why having at least one $30 license is key to unlocking the semantic index. We'll also explore how Copilot uses semantic indexing to ground responses in your organization's data, and how it respects user permissions through access control lists. But it's not all smooth sailing—AC also walks us through some of the current limitations, like missing metadata and large file indexing. He also shares a potential workaround using Azure AI Search for those needing more comprehensive coverage. Finally, we this weeks Microsoft Build Conference and tease a potential future episode where ACw will return to talk about custom Copilot development.   Andrew Connell LinkedIn YouTube BlueSky Newsletter: The Full Stack Dev's Microsoft 365 Playbook Podcast: Code.

There are some promises of God that are so good, so strong and so sure, that the proper posture of the believer's heart is not to plead for them to be true, but to declare that they are true.

In this episode of the Prodcast, guests Dominic Hutton (Staff SRE, HashiCorp) and Niccolo' Cascarano (Senior Staff SRE at Google) join hosts Steve McGhee and Jordan Greenberg to dive into configurations. They discuss the differences between imperative and declarative configuration, explore the benefits and challenges of each approach, and the need for careful consideration when choosing between the two. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve reliable and maintainable systems through effective configuration management.

In this episode Jeremy Thake talks to Sebastien Levert. The podcast focuses on the evolution and development of tools within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, particularly around agent building and Copilot Studio. The discussion highlights the distinction between low-code/no-code solutions for makers and pro-code tools for developers. Key tools such as Agent Builder and Teams Toolkit are explored, emphasizing their respective strengths: Agent Builder's accessibility for information workers versus Teams Toolkit's power and flexibility for professional developers. They discuss how developers can leverage Visual Studio Code, adaptive cards, and GitHub integration for building robust, scalable agents. A recurring theme is enabling seamless collaboration between makers and developers, with a focus on governance, scalability, and customization, particularly for enterprise-grade agents. The conversation also delves into advancements in API integration, such as using OpenAPI files and the emerging TypeSpec language to streamline the creation of APIs and plugins. Graph connectors and Power Platform connectors are highlighted as critical components for data access and processing within agents.

Tom Occhino, Chief Product Officer at Vercel and former Engineering Director at Facebook, joins Sam to talk about the pivotal moments in React's history. He talks about how React popularized the ideas of declarative rendering and unidirectional data flow, how GraphQL furthered React's goal of co-locating all the concerns of a particular piece of UI, the problems that GraphQL led to at Facebook and how Relay solved them, and how Suspense, Server Components, and PPR are the generalized spiritual successors to the stack used at Facebook.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro2:53 - Declarative rendering as React's legacy8:12 - How GraphQL enabled complex components to be fully self-contained20:12 - How React's goal has always been to co-locate all the concerns of a particular piece of UI22:58 - The problem with co-locating GraphQL with components, and how Relay solved it26:28 - How RSC is the generalized spiritual successor to BigPipe and GraphQL34:46 - What PPR is, and how it and Suspense fit into this story55:55 - The general paradigm shift of getting static code to the device as soon as possibleLinks:Tom Occhino with Ben DunphyReact: The DocumentaryReact Roundtable with Andrew Clark and Sebastian MarkbågeTom Occhino on Twitter

A great deal of attention is given to different treatment approaches for supporting communication and relationships with children with social learning differences. However, how we actually speak to children in therapeutic and every day interactions, is given relatively less attention. Through her publications and presentations, Linda Murphy has devoted much of her recent work to supporting therapists, educators, and parents in providing more facilitative styles of language that have been shown to support language development and trusting relationships. In discussing the concept of “declarative language” with Barry and Dave, Linda provides specific guidelines and examples that will be helpful to both professionals and parents.
