OBJECTIVES Research indicates an association between stimulating mental activities and better memory performance as people age, but studies on computerized mental stimulation programs are limited. We explored whether computerized brain training exercises improved cognitive performance in older adults. METHODS In local retirement communities, a convenience sample was randomized into an interve...

The development of a computerized database on advanced structural ceramics can play a critical role in fostering the widespread use of ceramics in industry and in advanced technologies. A computerized database may be the most effective means of accelerating technology development by enabling new materials to be incorporated into designs far more rapidly than would have been possible with tradit...

OBJECTIVE To compare a novel computerized analysis program with visual cardiotocography (CTG) interpretation results. METHODS Sixty-two intrapartum CTG tracings with 20- to 30-minute sections were independently interpreted using a novel computerized analysis program, as well as the visual interpretations of eight obstetricians, to evaluate the baseline fetal heart rate (FHR), baseline FHR var...

Background: In earlier studies, we found that children and adults with nephropathic cystinosis often have significant difficulty with visual spatial skills, and that this in turn can lead to academic difficulties, particularly with math. Earlier studies by Bernhard and Major (2005) and Temple et al. (2003) had demonstrated that a computerized program of gradually increasing difficulty could hel...

Computerized dynamic assessment has been proposed as a solution to the practicality issues involved in ordinary dynamic assessment procedures. However, most of computerized dynamic assessment studies have addressed receptive skills (i.e., reading and listening). Responding to the scarcity of CDA studies of productive skills, the present study was an attempt to design and implement a computerize...

Abstract Date Presented 03/31/2022 The current study supports previous literature that adaptive sports are beneficial but fewer opportunities available for youth with complex disabilities despite their willingness to participate. Therefore, the A.B.L.E. Program (Athletes Believing Limits Endless) will be developed ensure every child, regardless of ability, has an equal opportunity participate i...
