This chapter focuses on alternative ways of measuring social welfare. These alternative measurements follow three approaches. The first involves extending the national accounts to incorporate non-market goods and services and to eliminate detrimental components. A second approach identifies social norms and evaluates their satisfaction through social indicators. The third approach involves the use of psychological indicators and attempts to reach directly into the experience of welfare using surveys of subjected well-being and research on the dynamics of hedonic experience.Less

This chapter extends the framework developed in Chapter 3 for the analysis of health indicators (height, weight, and morbidity) to children's psychological indicators such as scores on cognitive tests. This is important because children's learning is a cumulative process and future supply of skilled labour depends on cognitive achievements at various stages. The results from the analyses of data from Kenya and Tanzania show the importance of children's health status for their scores on cognitive and educational achievement tests. The empirical results identified key determinants of child development.Less

This chapter demonstrates whether motor imagery accuracy and vividness may be estimated using a set of several indicators and psychological, behavioural, and physiological recordings. It examines whether the different neurophysiological methods may be combined to evaluate individual ability to form accurate mental images.Less
