Children with Developmental Dyslexia (DD) are impaired in Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) tasks, where subjects are asked to name arrays of high frequency items as quickly as possible. However the reasons why RAN speed discriminates DD from typical readers are not yet fully understood. Our study was aimed to identify some of the cognitive mechanisms underlying RAN-reading relationship by compari...

Aim and objectives The prime aim of this research was to examine the effects of music on learning and educational performances on mentally disabled students. Context Let us be briefed on a definition of mental disability, as referred to in psychiatry as retardation. In psychiatry there are two types of retardation, mental retardation and psychomotor retardation. Mental retardation refers to slo...

Our nervous system can efficiently recognize objects in spite of changes in contextual variables such as perspective or lighting conditions. Several lines of research have proposed that this ability for invariant recognition is learned by exploiting the fact that object identities typically vary more slowly in time than contextual variables or noise. Here, we study the question of how this "tem...

objective: the purpose of this study was to examine the impact of early family-centered psychological and educational interventions on adaptive behaviors in children with down syndrome (ds). method: utilizing an experimental pretest-posttest control group design, parents of 36 children with ds were selected in isfahan. vineland adaptive behavior scale was used to assess adaptive behavior. resul...

What role does experience play in the development of face recognition? A growing body evidence indicates that newborn brains need slowly changing visual experiences to develop accurate recognition abilities. All work supporting this “slowness constraint” on comes from studies testing basic-level object recognition. Here, we present results controlled-rearing experiments provide for a slowness c...

this paper presents fuzzy and conventional performance of model reference adaptive control(mrac) to control a dc drive. the aims of this work are achieving better match of motor speed with reference speed, decrease of noises under load changes and disturbances, and increase of system stability. the operation of nonadaptive control and the model reference of fuzzy and conventional adaptive contr...

conclusions this study indicates that low-load rt results in greater accumulations in vl compared to high-load rt over the course of 8 weeks of training. results after adjusting for the pre-test scores, there was a significant difference between the two intervention groups on post-intervention total vl with a very large effect size (f (1, 15) = 16.598, p = .001, ηp2 = .525). there was a signifi...
