Computerized dietary assessment programs are often used for nutrition education research and practice. This article provides an informal overview of 29 dietary assessment programs mentioned in the literature covered by MEDLINE from 1996 to 2003, along with the components and capabilities of these programs derived from additional sources as needed. According to the literature, the advantages of ...

here has been general consensus t in dyslexia research that phono-JL logical processing deficits underlie dyslexic readers' failure to acquire adequate word recognition skills a phonological-core deficit-that difficulty representing the sound structure of words impedes a child's ability to learn decoding principles-has guided diagnostic and intervention efforts in reading disabilities and has b...

Un-supervise learned word embeddings have seen tremendous success in numerous Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks in recent years. The main contribution of this paper is to develop a technique called Skill2vec, which applies machine learning techniques in recruitment to enhance the search strategy to find the candidates who possess the right skills. Skill2vec is a neural network architectur...

The current study examined the effect of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a parent-training intervention for child behavior problems, on child language production. Participants were 46 children (ages 20-70 months) with externalizing behavior problems and with or at risk for developmental delay. Parent-child dyads were randomly assigned to a waitlist control or immediate treatment group....

The paper finds out poor engagement in business English training program prevents adult learners at College of Continuing Education of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies from improving their communication skills. PBL (Project –Based Learning) is proposed to motivate adult learners to get involved with learning a lot. Based on the perspective of psychology, learners’ needs may produce motiv...

The primary purpose of this study was to compare the ability of language-impaired and reading-impaired children to process (i.e.', encode and retrieve) phonological information. Four measures of phonological awareness and several measures of word and sentence repetition abilities were used to evaluate phono!ogica! processing skills. Two additional measures assessed children's awareness of lexic...

BACKGROUND With the reformed curriculum "4C", the Medical Faculty of the University of Cologne has started to systematically plan practical skills training, for which Clerkship Maturity is the first step. The key guidelines along which the curriculum was development were developed by experts. This approach has now been validated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Both students and teachers were asked to ...

The genetic and environmental etiologies of individual differences in printed word recognition and related skills were explored in 440 identical and fraternal twin pairs between 8 and 18 years of age. A theoretically driven measurement model identified five latent variables: IQ, phoneme awareness, word recognition, phonological decoding, and orthographic coding. Cholesky decomposition models on...
