The present investigation demonstrated a systematic teaching procedure for establishing a normal toddler as a peer-model for three children showing delayed development, each one under 27 mo. of age. For each delayed subject, training consisted of adult-directed prompting and social reinforcement contingent upon the delayed children's imitations of material use and motor responses emitted by a n...

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was used to successfully dilate critical narrowings of the internal carotid artery caused by fibromuscular dysplasia. The technique of this new procedure is presented along with the angiographic findings and results in three patients. Angioplasty may be used as an alternative to open arteriotomy and graduated dilatation in treating stenosis due to symptomat...

The problem of how to prompt a client with a password in an automatic prompted speaker verification system is addressed. Text-prompting of four-digit sequences is compared to speech-prompting of the same sequences, and speech-prompting of fourdigit sequences is compared to speech-prompting of five-digit sequences. Speech recordings are analyzed by comparing speaker verification performance and ...

a matter of considerable difficulty and treatment protracted and laborious. The disability and impairment of .function may be out of all proportion to the pathological lesion. Moreover, it is often necessary to supplement any operative procedure by a prolonged course of graduated remedial exercises or of physio-therapy. The management of such cases, therefore, requires considerable experience a...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of the constant time delay procedure, while comparing the efficiency of using teacher-selected and student-selected material prompts, in teaching multiplication facts to 4 male students with learning disabilities ranging in age from 9 years 6 months to 13 years 10 months. The two prompting strategies were compared in the context of a multiple-probe design ...

We evaluated a video-based error correction procedure for teaching four adults with developmental disabilities to set a table. Video clips were initially used as an antecedent prompt. However, only one of the adults learned to set the table with this procedure. Consequently, the remaining three adults received intervention in which the video clips were also used as part of an error correction p...

This paper presents a new method for estimating piecewise-smooth optical flow. We propose a global optimization formulation with three-frame matching and local variation and develop an efficient technique to minimize the resultant global energy. This technique takes advantage of local gradient, global gradient and global matching methods and alleviates their limitations. Experiments on various ...
