This study sheds light on the effect of bilingualism working memory performance. It aims to investigate whether bilingual speakers have an advantage over monolingual in performing visual-spatial tasks. The present attempts be a contribution discussion how performance is affected by bilingualism. tries find out Arabic-English advantages Arabic Two experiments were conducted test bilinguals and m...

Twenty-nine patients with unilateral left hemisphere lesions, 22 patients with unilateral right hemisphere lesions, and 19 neurological control patients with extracerebral lesions were assessed on verbal memory recall and recognition tests and on a battery of language tests. The left hemisphere group was significantly impaired in memory and language skills. Significant verbal memory impairment ...

This article develops a general framework to guide the use of subgroup cost-effectiveness analysis for decision making in a collectively funded health system. In doing so, it addresses 2 key policy questions, namely, the identification and selection of subgroups, while distinguishing 2 sources of potential value associated with heterogeneity. These are 1) the value of revealing the factors asso...

In school settings, students are typically evaluated using group achievement tests, IQ scales, and college entrance exams that focus more on rote-verbal skills (e.g., vocabulary, mathematical facts) than on higher level executive functions (e.g., abstract thinking, problem solving). However, recent neuropsychological findings suggest that rote-knowledge skills and executive functions are diverg...

Memory performance was examined in patients with schizophrenia to determine whether subgroups conforming to cortical and subcortical dementias could be identified and, if so, whether subgroups differed on clinical, neuroanatomical, and neurophysiological measures. A cluster analysis of California Verbal Learning Test performance classified patients into 3 subgroups. Two groups exhibited memory ...

Comprehensive data on the developmental history and current behaviours of a large sample of high-functioning individuals with diagnoses of autism, Asperger's syndrome, or other related disorder were collected via parent interviews. This provided the basis for a taxonomic analysis to search for subgroups. Most participants also completed theory of mind tasks. Three clusters or subgroups were obt...

in this paper a first step in classifying the fuzzy normalsubgroups of a finite group is made. explicit formulas for thenumber of distinct fuzzy normal subgroups are obtained in theparticular cases of symmetric groups and dihedral groups.

o bjectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate marginal adaptation of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement, biodentine and bioaggregate in presence of normal saline and human blood. materials and methods: in this in-vitro experimental study, 80 extracted single-rooted human teeth were instrumented and filled with gutta-percha. after resect- ing the root-en...
