in the affective sphere of efl learning especially with regard to teaching/learning situations in iran, one deterrent element seizes particular attention and that is inhibition self-imposed restraint on or abstinence from learning due to academic and non-academic variables such as culture, gender, psyche, extreme emotions, etc. it is related to language ego permeability hypothesis (leph) which ...

Twelve severely and profoundly mentally retarded individuals with life-threatening self-injurious behaviors were exposed to electrical aversion treatment using a remotely controlled device. Long-term effectiveness was assessed for periods ranging from 2 to 47 months for the 12 individuals, respectively. The degree of imposed physical restraint was used as the major dependent variable. With two ...

Common marmosets are cooperatively breeding monkeys that exhibit high reproductive skew: most subordinate females fail to reproduce, while others attempt to breed but produce very few surviving infants. An extensive dataset on the mechanisms limiting reproduction in laboratory-housed and free living subordinate females provides unique insights into the causes of reproductive skew. Non-breeding ...

Pain perception in non-mammalian vertebrates such as fish is a controversial issue. We demonstrate that, in the fish Leporinus macrocephalus, an imposed restraint can modulate the behavioral response to a noxious stimulus, specifically the subcutaneous injection of 3% formaldehyde. In the first experiment, formaldehyde was applied immediately after 3 or 5 min of the restraint. Inhibition of the...

The chick's relationship to its environment changes dramatically over 21 days of embryonic development. At early ages embryos are buoyant; their posture and movements are relatively unconstrained. As embryos grow and fluid level in ovo decreases, movements are increasingly constrained by gravitational forces and reactive forces due to body contact with the shell wall. The issue of how age-relat...

The objective of this study was to determine whether the effect of restraint stress on cortisol, LH, and testosterone varied among sexually inactive and sexually active female- and male-oriented rams, to allow differentiation among ram classes. Restraint stress or no stress was imposed on sexually inactive (n = 7) and sexually active female- (n = 17) and male-oriented (n = 6) rams in a 2 x 3 fa...

Abstract Concrete cracks in structures such as water tanks and nuclear power stations cause anxiety to owners, contractors engineers. These may significantly increase the structure’s permeability thus leakage, reduce durability, eventually lead loss of structural functionality. Therefore it is important minimize their occurrence size. To identify effective ways minimizing cracking young concret...

Dietary restraint theoretically increases risk for binge eating, but prospective and experimental studies have produced contradictory findings, apparently because dietary restraint scales do not identify individuals who are reducing caloric intake. Yet, experimentally manipulated caloric deprivation increases responsivity of brain regions implicated in attention and reward to food images, which...

the effects of some histaminergic agents were evaluated on stress- induced immunosuppression in immunized nale rats. in rat immunized with sheep red blood cells ( srbcs). restraint stress (rs) prevented the booster-induced rise in anti-srbc antibody titre and cell immunity response. intracerebroventicular (i.c>v) injection of histamine (150 µg/rat) induced a similar effect with rs. pretreatment...
