ABSTRACT Research findings on auditory sequencing and auditory blending and fusion, auditory-visual integration, and.language patterns are presented in support of the Linguistic Auditory Memory Patterns (LAMP) program. LAMP consists of 100 developmental lessons for young students with learning disabilities or language problems. The lessons are included in this document and contain sequential ex...

One in six people in the world will experience a stroke in their lifetime. A large proportion of these survivors will have motor impairments as a result of this. Physical therapy can help stroke sufferers to overcome these limitations. Research suggests that the brain can be provided with sufficient stimuli to remodel itself and to provide better motor control through repetitive exercises. Howe...

[Purpose] This study examined the effects of neck exercises using PNF on the swallowing function of stroke patients with dysphasia. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 26 study subjects were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group of 13 subjects, who received the PNF-based short neck flexion exercises, and a control group of 13 subjects, who received the Shaker exercise. [Results...

The field of bioinformatics is developing faster than most biochemistry textbooks can adapt. Supplementing the undergraduate biochemistry curriculum with data-mining exercises is an ideal way to expose the students to the common databases and tools that take advantage of this vast repository of biochemical information. An integrated collection of exercises based on pet proteins has been assembl...

This paper presents an educational tool for introducing Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) coding concepts in senior undergraduate and graduate DSP-related courses. The tool consists of a user-friendly graphical interface along with a complete MATLAB realization of all aspects of the Algebraic CELP G.729 algorithm [2]. This simulation software is accompanied by a series of computer experimen...

BACKGROUND Tomorrow's physicians must learn to access, retrieve, integrate and apply current information into ambulatory patient encounters, yet few medical schools teach 'real time' information management. METHODS We compared two groups of clerkship students' information management skills using a standardized patient case. The intervention group participated in case-based discussions includi...

Developing meaningful in-course exercises for university-level marine ecology students can be challenging due to the constraints imposed by time, logistics, and/or safety. Here, I describe three that exploit explanatory power of body size provide context field-, laboratory-, and desktop-based projects done at varying stages their university education. The collectively help develop a range resea...

The design and implementation of an assessment centre in the South Yorkshire and South Humberside deanery for selecting doctors into postgraduate training in paediatric medicine is described. Eleven competency domains were identified in the job analysis. An assessment centre comprising of four exercises was implemented to assess candidates. There were modest relationships between candidates' pe...
