Two instructional studies directed at the comprehension-fostering and comprehension-monitoring activities of seventh grade poor comprehenders are reported. The four study activities were summarizing (self-review), questioning, clarifying, and predicting. The training method was that of reciprocal teaching, where the tutor and students took turns leading a dialogue centered on pertinent features...

The ability to dynamically and rapidly adjust task performance based on its outcome is fundamental to adaptive, flexible behavior. Over trials of a task, responses speed up until an error is committed and after the error responses slow down. These dynamic adjustments serve to optimize performance and are well-described by the speed-accuracy trade-off (SATO) function. We hypothesized that SATOs ...

Peer teaching is recognized as a powerful instructional method; however, there is a paucity of studies that have evaluated the outcomes experienced by peer-teachers and their student recipients in the context of trained, non-reciprocal, high school physical education (PE). Accordingly, the effectiveness of a formalized and trained non-reciprocal peer teaching (T-PT) program upon psychosocial, b...

The effects of three teaching styles (command, practice, and reciprocal) from Mosston's Spectrum of Teaching Styles were investigated in terms of motor skill acquisition and retention of a selected shooting task. University students (N=135) enrolled in nine riflery classes were randomly assigned by class to one of three treatment groups. A 3x6 (Teaching styles x Sets of trials) ANCOVA, with rep...

For a connected graph G on n vertices, recall that the reciprocal distance signless Laplacian matrix of is defined to be RQ(G)=RT(G)+RD(G), where RD(G) matrix, RT(G)=diag(RT1,RT2,⋯,RTn) and RTi degree vertex vi. In 2022, generalized which by RDα(G)=αRT(G)+(1−α)RD(G),α∈[0,1], was introduced. this paper, we give some bounds spectral radius RDα(G) characterize its extremal graph. addition, also li...
