Connectionist modeling is applied to issues in cognitive rehabilitation, concerning the degree and speed of recovery through retraining, the extent of generalization to untreated items, and how treated items are selected to maximize this generalization. A network previously used to model impairments in mapping orthography to semantics is retrained after damage. The degree of relearning and gene...

This study was to investigate the effects of cervical stabilizing exercise and breathing retraining exercise to improve the respiratory function in elderly stroke patients. Experimental 1group performed cervical stabilizing exercise and respiratory breathing retraining exercise for 30minutes in addition to the conventional exercise. Experimental 2group performed the respiratory breathing retrai...

Background & Aims: There is a high prevalence of burnout in modern societies and it encompasses all aspects of life. Thus, this study investigated the effects of personality dimensions and attribution styles variables on the dependent variable of job burnout with the mediating role of resiliency in surgeons in Kerman, Iran. Methods: The target population consisted of 127 surgeons of whom 90 sur...

PURPOSE Dysfunctional breathing (DB) is associated with an abnormal breathing pattern, unexplained breathlessness and significant patient morbidity. Treatment involves breathing retraining through respiratory physiotherapy. Recently, manual therapy (MT) has also been used, but no evidence exists to validate its use. This study sought to investigate whether MT produces additional benefit when co...

Alcoholism is associated with impairment of information processing attention, memory and concept formation, which hamper the patients response to psychotherapy aimed at treating alcoholism. We improved cognitive functioning in abstinent alcoholics through cognitive retraining. Eight detoxified male alcoholics, comparable on age, education, marital status, medication and years of alcohol consump...

A novel approach is presented in this paper for improving the performance of neural network classifiers in image recognition, segmentation or coding applications, based on a retraining procedure at the user level. The procedure includes a maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation technique for optimally selecting a retraining data set from the image applied to the network during real life operation...

The sequential sound therapy is a treatment for tinnitus with white noise that has some own characteristics. We describe the methodology, as well as their differences and similarities with the Tinnitus Retraining Therapy. The sequential sound therapy has been carried out to seventeen patients assisted during the year 2002. 26 generators of sound were adapted, of them, 22 had incorporated an ear...
