Abstract Early experience preserves and refines many capabilities that emerge prenatally. Here we describe another role that it plays – establishing the neural substrate for capabilities that emerge at a much later point in development. The evidence comes from sleeper effects: permanent deficits when early experience was absent in capabilities that normally emerge long after birth. We provide evidence of sleeper effects for three aspects of vision, based on our research with children who were deprived of early visual input by congenital cataracts: contrast sensitivity for mid and high spatial frequencies, holistic face processing, and the ability to recognize the identity of faces based on small differences in the spacing among facial features.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the importance of character education applied in educational institutions. The character education planting program launched by the government to be implemented through learning in schools prepared by teachers with reference to several components, namely; learning activity strategies that contain good character values in students and the development of school culture that reflects good character. This will affect student outcomes, either partially or completely through learning in the form of knowledge and skills (instructional effect), it also still takes several meetings of subsequent teaching and learning events to further strengthen the results, why the results are called accompaniment impacts. The nurturing effect is in the form of results that are not directly measured and are not certain to be achieved at the end of a teaching and learning event meeting. Outcomes can be in the form of: (1) attitudes and values; (2) the results where students become modeling (can imitate), contagion (infected), osmosis (infiltrated) about the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of learning conditions, both programmed by the teacher and not programmed by the teacher.

Exciting new scholarship has been emerging as performance studies scholars begin to turn their attention to the performance of politics, nationhood and jurisprudence. Branislav Jakovljevic's project on the history and eventual demise of the former Yugoslavia demonstrates how fruitful this approach can be. Jakovljevic considers the concept of theatricality as central to understanding the events that took place in Yugoslavia. He examines the country's trials, state ceremonies and festivals, army maneuvers, propaganda and pop culture as "rehearsals and temporary enactments of an ideologically formulated future." His first chapter reveals the surrealist, avant-garde origins of key members of the Yugoslav bureaucracy after WWII, suggesting that those connections helped the culture of socialist Yugoslavia become a performance-centered culture. Continuing to explore the relationship between the political avant-garde and the artistic avant-garde, he looks at the spectacle of student demonstrations in Belgrade in 1968, and, in their aftermath, the rise of performance art in the country. The third chapter (included here) zeros in on the various political performances of Slobodan Milosevic, including his courtroom testimony at the ICTY, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The fourth chapter discusses the "Peter Handke Affair," when the Austrian playwright had a major prize revoked after he attended Milosevic's funeral and recited a poem he had written in Milosevic's honor.
