BACKGROUND Verbal fluency relies on the coordinated activity between left frontal and temporal areas. Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) present phonemic and semantic fluency deficits. Recent studies suggest that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) enhances adaptative patterns of brain activity between functionally connected areas. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess ...

Let G be a finite extensive form game with perfect information and chance moves, referred to here as a game. Fix a set of players N = {1, 2, ..., n} and a set of histories H, such that the root history ∅ ∈ H and, for any a = (a1, ..., at−1, at) ∈ H, (a1, ..., at−1) ∈ H. The set of terminal histories is Z ⊂ H, and the player assignment function identifies a subset of players (or Nature) at each ...

This paper introduces a set of English grammar symbols that the author has developed to enhance students’ understanding and consequently, application of the English grammar rules. A pretest-posttest control-group design was carried out in which the samples were students in two girls’ senior high schools (N=135, P ≤ 0.05) divided into two groups: the Treatment which received gramm...

The importance of phonological and phonemic awareness knowledge in learning to be literate has been demonstrated in many studies. One dimension of the acquisition of this knowledge, the developmental trend from an implicit awareness of rimes to an explicit awareness of phonemes has attracted substantial interest. A second dimension, a trend in the amount of phonemic knowledge that can be manipu...
