abstract background: although studies have demonstrated significant negative relationships between quality of life (qol), fatigue, and the most common psychological symptoms (depression, anxiety, stress), the main ambiguity of previous studies on qol is in the relative importance of these predictors. also, there is lack of adequate knowledge about the actual contribution of each of them in the ...

ICAP department of Lyon 1 university developed instructional tools based on 3 dimensional (3D) technologies to assist human anatomy teachers. Three experimental researches aimed to validate the use of these tools. In study 1 we searched for correlations between spatial ability tests and anatomy examination scores. In study 2 we evaluated the effects of specific spatial ability training on anato...

Research has shown that will (positive attitudes), skill (technology competency), and tool (access to technology tools) are all essential ingredients for a teacher to effectively integrate information technology into classroom practices. This study focuses on the will, skill and tool as essential measures for the predictability of technology integration, reported by the study participants and m...

The main purpose of the study was to examine whether M Capacity, as it is defined in Pascual-Leone’s Theory of Constructive Operators as the maximum number of schemes which can be simultaneously activated by attentional resources, is predictive of motor learning – in this case, of the acquisition and development of the “third touch” in volleyball. This hypothesis, supported by some preliminary ...

Prosodic modelling is presented as a two-part process. In the first part, predictor variables are identified on the basis of psycholinguistic factors that determine word grouping. In the second part, these and intrinsic-contextual linguistic factors generate predictions for durational and melodic assignment. It is argued that data-driven approaches can be rendered more efficient by introducing ...
