Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental characterized by hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattentiveness. Efforts toward the development of biologically based diagnostic test have identified differences in EEG power spectrum; most consistently reported an increased ratio theta to beta during resting state those with disorder, compared controls. Current approaches calculate theta/beta using fixed frequency bands, but observed may be confounded other...
Objective: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent and impairing neurodevelopmental disorder. While early childhood crucial time for intervention, it characterized by instability of ADHD diagnosis. Neural correlates have potential to improve diagnostic accuracy; however, minimal research has focused on childhood. Research indicates that disrupted neural connectivity associated with in older children. Here, we explore network as correlate diagnosis...
Abstract Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), or concussion, accounts for 85% of all TBIs. Yet survivors anticipate full cognitive recovery within several months injury, if not sooner, dependent upon the specific outcome/measure. Recovery is variable and deficits in executive function, e.g., working memory (WM) can persist years post-mTBI. We tested whether otherwise healthy undergraduates, as a conservative indicator mTBI at large. collected WM performance (change detection, n-back tasks)...
When linguistic input contains inconsistent use of grammatical forms, children produce these forms more consistently, a process called "regularization." Deaf learning American Sign Language from parents who are non-native users the language regularize their parents' usages. In studies artificial languages containing inconsistently used morphemes, children, but not adults, regularized forms. However, little is known about precise circumstances in which such regularization occurs. three...
Early adversity, broadly defined as a set of negative exposures during childhood, is extremely common and increases risk for psychopathology across the life span. Previous research suggests that separate dimensions adversity increase through developmental plasticity mechanisms shaping unique neurobiological pathways. Specifically, deprivation associated with deficits in higher order cognition, while threat atypicality fear learning emotion dysregulation. However, most this has been conducted...
Self‐administration of medicine (SAM) programmes for hospital in‐patients have become increasingly popular Such are considered to facilitate education and learning A quasi‐experimental, longitudinal study was carried out examine compare knowledge acquisition, drug compliance, satisfaction between patients who self‐administered their medications those did not Improvements in compliance with medication regimes could be linked directly a SAM programme All had high level appeared compliant...
Previous studies have shown that adults are able to remember more than 1,000 images with great detail. However, little is known about the development of this visual capacity, nor its presence early in life. This study tests level detail young children’s memory for a large number items, adapting method Brady, Konkle, Alvarez, and Oliva ( 2008 ). Four- six-year-old children were 100 everyday objects. They then tested recognition familiar items binary decision task. The identity foil test item...
Primary nursing is dynamic. To reflect belief and working practices accurately, the philosophy of primary needs to be updated regularly. maintain ownership it should reformulated by staff themselves. Commonly shared beliefs about are essential if practised successfully.
Previous studies have shown that adults can remember 2,500 images with great accuracy and fidelity (Brady et al., 2008). However, little is known about the extent of visual memory capacity early in life. Such detailed may be surprising, given importance generalization domains such as word concept learning (Jenkins 2014). We adapted method Brady al. to test children’s memory. Twenty-four 4-5 year-olds twenty-four 6-7 were first 116 everyday objects (e.g., apple, ball), each presented for 3s....
Summary The purposes of this study were twofold. first was to determine the rationale behind adoption a self‐care approach nursing. second, how philosophy is applied in practice. carried out from phenomenological perspective, as it facilitated an understanding nursing practice practitioners' perspective. and caring, appears have evolved through patients need. This finding has implications for all practitioners.
This article describes how a nursing development unit (NDU), through the evolution of self-care philosophy, responded to changing needs and demands patients. Patients in NDU appeared want be more informed involved their health care. In addition, decreased length stay as result increased sophistication medical techniques need have faster throughput patients has meant that philosophy is required which focused around empowering take ownership for own The application this demonstrated case study...
