Anxiety and fear have become the most significant problem for normal children differently-abled at dental operatory. Various techniques in distraction such as audio, visual are employed behavior management of children. The study aimed to evaluate effectiveness four different anxiety differently abled pediatric patients. included 120 children, randomly assorted into groups i.e consisting 30 each...

Novel sounds embedded in a repetitive stream of auditory stimuli impair performance of the visual task at hand. Parmentier et al. suggested that this distraction effect might be because of the shifting cost of moving attention from the task-irrelevant (auditory) to the task-relevant (visual) channel, or from their shifting of spatial locations. Here, the source location of the sounds in an audi...

OBJECTIVE This study tested the effects of two fundamental forms of distraction, including visual-manual and cognitive-audio distraction, with comparison under both operational and tactical driving. Strategic control remains for future study. BACKGROUND Driving is a complex control task involving operational, tactical, and strategic control. Although operational control, such as lead-car foll...

Background: Catheterization is the most common cause of pain and distress in children, which causes physical and psychological dysfunctions and disrupts the treatment. Therefore, the control of this type of pain should be considered as a priority for nursing care. The audio-visual distraction can be used to reduce the intensity of pain. Aim: The purpose o...

AIM The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the eff-cacy of 'audio distraction' in anxious pediatric dental patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty children were randomly selected and equally divided into two groups of thirty each. The first group was control group (group A) and the second group was music group (group B). The dental procedure employed was extraction for both the groups...

There are many situations in which two or more audio programmes may be replayed in the same acoustic space. Such situations can either occur naturally or be deliberately engendered, for example in a system designed to produce personal sound zones. In order to improve the experience of a listener in the presence of an audio interferer, it is desirable to model the relationship between listener e...

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEAS) have been reported to have memory enhancement effects in humans. A neuro-stimulatory action and an anti-cortisol mechanism of action may contribute to that relation. In order to study DHEA, DHEAS and cortisol relations to working memory and distraction, we recorded the electroencephalogram of 23 young women performing a d...
