[Purpose] This study examined the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation on motion-related cortical potential. [Subjects and Methods] Fourty healthy female adult subjects each received galvanic vestibular stimulation or sham treatment. For galvanic vestibular stimulation, the anode and cathode were applied to the right and left mastoid processes, respectively, for 10 minutes. Motion-related...

Constructivism is the dominant paradigm in educational psychology at present. According to this theory, learning is an active process of sense-making, which occurs in the mind of the learner as she or he attempts to construct a meaningful representation of new information (Phillips 1995). As a result, instruction aimed at transmitting (intact) a knowledge structure from the instructor to the st...

in addition to the liver, human hydatidosis has been reported in the lung, brain, abdominal viscera, muscles, and heart chambers. infarction of the brain has also been documented. arterial embolism of the lower extremities by hydatid cyst, however, is extremely rare. in the presented case, acute ischemia of the patient's left leg led to gangrene and amputation. complete workup for localiza...

The majority of the population identifies as right-hand dominant, with a minority 10.6% identifying left-hand dominant. Social factors may partially skew distribution, but it remains that dominant individuals make up approximately 40 million people in United States alone and yet, remain underrepresented motor control literature. Recent research has revealed behavioral neurological differences b...

Introduction: Although left anterior descending (LAD) artery supplies a large portion of the myocardium, the amount of blood supply provided by LAD is depended on the length of the LAD. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the association between coronary artery dominance and LAD anatomic types in patients with normal epicardial coronary arteries. Methods:...

An 80-year-old woman presented with sudden-onset dysarthria and left-side dominant quadriparesis transferred to our hospital. A neurologic examination revealed slurred speech, prominent left upper extremity weakness mild of the other extremities. Brain MRI a history right-side cerebral artery bypass surgery, but no new lesions indicative stroke. Left had improved soon after admission, so transi...

This paper discusses a data-driven learning (DDL) tool, which consists of a learner corpus for L2 learners of German. The learner corpus, in addition to submissions from ongoing current users, has been constructed from millions of submissions from a variety of activity types of approximately 5000 learners who used the E-Tutor CALL system over a period of five years. By following a cyclical proc...

This paper considers learner misconceptions information which is presented to the learner in an open learner model. We suggest that specific information about misconceptions may be of benefit to the learner, to help them reflect on their knowledge and understanding. We investigate acceptance of their misconceptions presented as animations and step-by-step text descriptions by two groups of user...
