There is not a great deal of empirical research on adolescent sex offenders and even less mentally retarded offenders. This study provides some preliminary data in this area. Results survey the extent types sexual problems evident amongst groups intellectually normal adolescents (N = 196), seen at an assessment treatment centre southwestern Ontario during 14 month period presented. In addition three ten each (mentally one group non-offenders with behavioural problems) were investigated to...

1. The subterranean vertical rhizome of Peltandra virginica is built up sympodially from branches arising in the axils penultimate leaves continuation shoots successively higher rank. Each shoot, as well primary axis, terminates a spadix. A second spadix arises axil ultimate leaf. 2. Usually vegetative buds, which sometimes result multiplication plant, arise only antepenultimate leaves. 3. There tendency to limit number foliage formed on shoot. minimum was three. 4. Leaves and inflorescences...

Eighty questionnaires were sent to parents and/or caregivers of autistic persons diagnosed between 1960–73 at CPRI, a regional assessment and treatment centre. The objective was determine their present place residence, functioning ability, language development, program involvement, seizure activity. results this study support evidence that more than 50 percent require long-term institutional care; almost one-third suffer epileptic seizures; there is persistence symptoms difficulty in gaining...

Abstract The authors demonstrate the high prevalence of personality disorders in 384 intellectually impaired individuals examined both community and institutional settings southwestern Ontario, Canada. relationship specific clusters to later onset psychiatric is suggested. New approaches management are noted utilizing clinical case studies. Differences similarities nomenclature American International diagnostic classifications illustrated this study. use a detailed longitudinal...

Intelligent learning environments can be designed to support the development of learners' cognitive skills, strategies, and metacognitive processes as they work on complex decision-making problem-solving tasks. However, complexity tasks may impede progress novice learners. Providing adaptive feedback learners who face difficulties requires learner modeling approaches that identify proficiencies in executing required processes. This paper discusses a multilevel hierarchical scheme analyzes...

The U.S. Army is interested in extending the application of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) beyond cognitive problem spaces and into psychomotor skill domains. In this paper, we present a methodology validation procedure for creating expert model representations domain rifle marksmanship. GIFT (Generalized Intelligent Framework Tutoring) was used as architecture to guide development efforts paired with an marksmanship simulator that collects behavioral information through sensor...

The potential of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to influence learning may be greatly enhanced by the system’s ability accurately assess a student’s cognitive state in real-time. For this happen, interactions with, and reactions to, training content must collected assessed; data is then used inform instructional adaptation within system. Validated sensors are available for purpose have been shown correlate with affective states linked learning. However, student models often expensive...

The presence of deafness in children creates a higher risk for emotional maladjustment. In group 172 deaf seen at CPRI over 70 percent had an additional central nervous system disorder. Specialized audiometric and psychometric testing must be used to differentiate from other psychiatric disorders children. There is void our knowledge regarding the cause brain damage significant number children, despite early diagnosis. Familial type deafness, although some studies was not children's mental...

This paper describes methods for enhancing the experience application program interface (xAPI) to improve assessment of domain competency modeling adaptive instruction. xAPI is an e-learning software specification which allows individual learning experiences and achievements be amassed in a Learning Record Store (LRS). Adaptive instruction includes tailored training or educational usually delivered guided by Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). ITSs can more effectively tailor adapt when...
