An Evaluation Of Static Versus Dynamic Instructional Stimuli On Generalization Of Action Tacts, Shana Renee Fentress
An Evaluation Of Static Versus Dynamic Instructional Stimuli On Generalization Of Action Tacts, Shana Renee Fentress
Theses and Dissertations
Researchers have noted that children with autism have difficulty generalizing responses to stimuli outside of those used in training. Some studies have analyzed ways to promote generalization such as using concurrent training or using stimuli that would be most similar to those found in the natural environment. Little research, however, has investigated strategies for promoting generalization of action tacts. The current study investigated two different types of stimulus delivery forms: static (i.e., pictures), which are typically used during instruction, and dynamic (i.e., videos), which may provide stimulation closer to that which a child would encounter in a natural setting. Findings …

Investigating Generalization Of Motorist Yielding To The Gateway Prompt From The Treated Leg Of The Intersection To The Untreated Adjacent Leg, Brian J. Crowley-Koch
Investigating Generalization Of Motorist Yielding To The Gateway Prompt From The Treated Leg Of The Intersection To The Untreated Adjacent Leg, Brian J. Crowley-Koch
Dissertations
Pedestrian safety continues to be an important research topic, especially since recent data show a small increase in pedestrian fatalities (USGAO, 2015). There have been several interventions that prompt pedestrians, but especially motorists, to yield properly at uncontrolled crosswalks (Van Houten, 1988; Van Houten & Malenfant, 1992; Nasar, 2003; Crowley-Koch, Van Houten & Lim, 2008). One low-cost intervention that has been successful is the R1-6 in road yielding sign (Kannel, Souleyrette, & Tenges, 2003). When this sign is laid out purposefully across a crosswalk (called a gateway), it has resulted in substantial increases in yielding compared to baseline conditions. In …

Semantic Memory, Eiling Yee, Michael N. Jones, Ken Mcrae
Psychology Publications
How is it that we know what a dog and a tree are, or, for that matter, what knowledge is? Our semantic memory consists of knowledge about the world, including concepts, facts and beliefs. This knowledge is essential for recognizing entities and objects, and for making inferences and predictions about the world. In essence, our semantic knowledge determines how we understand and interact with the world around us. In this chapter, we examine semantic memory from cognitive, sensorimotor, cognitive neuroscientific, and computational perspectives. We consider the cognitive and neural processes (and biases) that allow people to learn and represent concepts, …
Generalized Geometry Of Goncharov And Configuration Complexes, Muhammad Khalid, Javed Khan, Azhar Iqbal
Generalized Geometry Of Goncharov And Configuration Complexes, Muhammad Khalid, Javed Khan, Azhar Iqbal
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this article, a generalized geometry of Goncharov's complex and the Grassmannian complex will be proposed. First, all new homomorphisms will be defined, and then they will be used extensively to connect the Bloch--Suslin and the Grassmannian complex for weight $n=2$ and then Goncharov's complex with Grassmannian complex for weight $n=3$, up to $n=6$. Lastly, and most importantly, generalized morphisms will be presented to cover the geometry of the Goncharov and Grassmannian complex when weight $n= N$. Associated diagrams will be exhibited, proven to be commutative.
Generalization Of Social Skills Based On Instructional Setting, Monica St.Amand - Santos
Generalization Of Social Skills Based On Instructional Setting, Monica St.Amand - Santos
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Children with social skills deficits in verbal and nonverbal communication can face a variety of social challenges in many aspects of their lives. Given the increasing social needs of many students in today's classrooms, there is a need for increased social skills instruction and support in public schools. Inclusion opportunities in public schools can have a positive impact on the development of social skills and can increase peer understanding and empathy for students with special needs. Although there is research in the area of inclusion and its benefits, there is little known about the impact of the instructional setting on …
Generalization Of Ipad®-Learned Skills In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Claire Klein
Generalization Of Ipad®-Learned Skills In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Claire Klein
CMC Senior Theses
The present study investigated the effects of learning from an iPad® to real-world skills for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research has demonstrated that for some children with ASD, electronic media such as an iPad® is highly motivating, highly preferred, and increasing in popularity in homes and in classrooms (Chen & Bernard-Opitz, 1993; Rideout, 2017; Shane & Albert, 2008). Because academic skills are often difficult for children with ASD due to problems with motivation, the current study used the motivating features of iPad® apps to teach real-world academic skills to children with ASD, with the hypothesis that skills would …
