There is a renewed interest for complex adaptive system approaches that can account the inherently and dynamic nature of psychopathology.Yet theory psychopathology grounded in principles systems lacking.Here, we present such based on notion patterns: patterns are formed over time.We propose be understood as pattern emerges from self-organized interactions between interdependent biopsychosocial processes comprising person their environment.Psychopathology emergent sense it refers to...
The background noise of response times is often overlooked in scientific inquiries cognitive performances. However, it becoming widely acknowledged psychology, medicine, physiology, physics, and beyond that temporal patterns variability constitute a rich source information. Here, we introduce two complexity measures (1/f scaling recurrence quantification analysis) employ as metrics reading fluency. These gauge the extent interdependence across, rather than within, components. In this study,...
Systematic-phonics instruction appears to be more effective than nonsystematic phonics for teaching reading (Ehri, Nunes, Stahl, & Willows, 2001 Ehri, L. C., S. R., A. and D. M. 2001. Systematic helps students learn read: Evidence from the National Reading Panels meta-analysis.. Review of Educational Research, 71: 393–447. [Crossref], [Web Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). In present study, a systematic approach was directly compared with kindergarten children. Both approaches were delivered...
This study investigates human performance in a cyclic Fitts task at three different scales of observation, either the presence (difficult condition) or absence (easy speed-accuracy trade-off. At fastest scale, harmonicity back-and-forth movements, which reflects dissipation mechanical energy, was measured within timeframe single trials. an intermediate speed and accuracy measures were determined over trial. The slowest scale pertains to temporal structure movement variability, evolves...
In two experiments, the claim was tested that font "Dyslexie", specifically designed for people with dyslexia, eases reading performance of children (and without) dyslexia. Three questions were investigated. (1) Does Dyslexie lead to faster and/or more accurate reading? (2) Do have a preference font? And, (3) is related performance? Experiment 1, dyslexia (n = 170) did not read text written in or accurately than Arial font. The majority preferred and performance. 2, 102) without 45) word...
We discuss formal, theoretical and practical issues with the statistical analysis of multivariate time series data that represent self-reports human experience, often referred to as Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data, or, Experience Sampling Method (ESM) data. argue such likely violate assumptions required for valid inference, memoryless-ness property (due presence long-range temporal correlations) ergodicity non-stationarity non-homogeneity central moments). Moreover, we consider...
A complex systems approach to psychopathology proposes that general principles lie in the dynamic patterns of psychopathology, which are not restricted specific psychological processes like symptoms or affect.Hence, it must be possible find change profiles time series data fully personalized questionnaires.In current study, we examined self-ratings and related these four measures treatment outcome (International Symptom Rating, 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, daily symptom severity,...
This study focused on the relationship between both achievement level and diagnostic label sociometric status self-image of students in Dutch elementary education. In particular, differences with specific learning disabilities (SLD) general (GLD) were studied, regular as well special A total 1,300 participated, 861 439 (separate) education schools. Students GLD more often rejected had a lower than SLD. These results seemed to hold mainly for girls No argument favor or against inclusive can...
Abstract Background Staff working with clients intellectual disabilities (ID) who display challenging behaviour may contribute to the continuation of this behaviour, because it causes emotional reactions such as anxiety, anger and annoyance, which prohibit adequate response behaviour. To enhance staff treatment skills a training that aimed at improving intelligence (EQ) was developed. Aim The goal study assess whether an EQ in combination video‐feedback programme improves ID Methods...
Recent research addressed the relationship between staff behaviour and challenging of individuals with an intellectual disability (ID). Consequently, on interventions aimed at is warranted. The present study focused effectiveness a training emotional intelligence interactions clients. effects intelligence, coping style emotions support were investigated.Participants 214 working within residential settings for ID behaviour. experimental group consisted 76 members, 138 members participated in...

Three tasks were employed to investigate the role of assembled phonology in beginning readers. In two proofreading tasks, children had more trouble finding pseudohomophone misspellings (stimuli with identical that a word) than control do not share their word). lexical-decision task, they deciding non-words non-words. Finally, semantic-categorization rejecting as member designated category misspellings. Differences between and less advanced readers occurred, but need be attributed...
Abstract This study was designed to investigate the trust relationship between parents and teachers in first grade. Additional research questions were whether related ethnicity reading performance. The five facets of trust; benevolence, reliability, competence, honesty openness, measured on a 4-point Likert scale. Reading performance by three-minute test. Parents found have more competence than parents. Native-Dutch immigrant same level towards their children's teacher. However, reported...
This study focused on the predictive value of risk factors, cognitive and teachers' judgments in a sample 462 kindergartners for their early reading skills failure at beginning Grade 1. With respect to enrollment speech-language therapy, history dyslexia or problems family, role gender were considered. None these factors significantly related performance. Cognitive this included letter knowledge, rapid naming ability, nonword repetition skills. Of skills, knowledge seemed have highest...

The goal of this study to determine which elements need be incorporated a training on interactions these clients, building upon framework and an interpersonal model. As functional analysis, tests the influence client behaviour, three types reactions two psychological resources team climate four styles behaviour.A total 318 members completed questionnaire for 44 ID as well seven...
