Among clinicians, it is common practice to include parents in treatment, and it has been taken for granted that parents' involvement in their children's treatment is beneficial for therapy outcome, although research on this issue is far from clear. A meta-analysis was carried out in order to investigate whether parent involvement potentiates the outcome for children with anxiety disorders when ...

This dissertation intends to examine the effects of task-induced involvement load on L2 incidental vocabulary acquisition through reading. Task-induced is operationalized manipulating components need, search and evaluation show relevance acquisition. It will intend do this by using three major variables: load, initial learning medium-term retention. The chapter starts providing reasons for why ...

hydatid disease is a rare parasitic disease, which mainly involves liver then lung tissues. cardiac involvement is very rare, especially when there is not hepatic involvement. we describe a 47-year-old woman with a history of a lung hydatid cyst who was referred to rajaei heart center, tehran, iran in 2012. her chest computed tomographic scan showed a cardiac mass. echocardiographic examination...

To clarify the existence of HAM/TSP presenting amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-like manifestations, we assayed HTLV-I proviral load in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in 15 patients with anti-HTLV-I antibody in serum and ALS-like manifestations (upper motor neuron involvement in at least one region and lower motor neuron involvement in at least two limbs) by quantitative PCR, and ...

Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) and Technique Feature Analysis (TFA) are two frameworks which operationalize depth of processing of a vocabulary learning task. However, there is dearth of research comparing the predictive power of the ILH and the TFA across second language (L2) vocabulary learning tasks. The present study, therefore, aimed to examine this issue across four vocabulary learning...

As Schmidt (2008) states, deeper engagement with new vocabulary as induced by tasks clearly increases the chances of learning those words. This engagement is theoretically clarified by the involvement load hypothesis (ILH, Laufer and Hulstijn, 2001), based on which the involvement index of each task can be measured. The present study was designed to test ILH by evaluating the impact of 4 differ...
