  • We are interested in both risk and resilience - why are some individuals particularly vulnerable in response to negative life events, while others appear to be relatively resilient? And how can we promote enhanced resilience? As a part of the latter work, we study interventions designed to cultivate more positive affective styles. One such intervention that we have extensively studied over the past decade is meditation. In addition to the research on normal affective function, we also study a range of psychopathologies, all of which involve abnormalities in different aspects of emotion processing. Included among the disorders we have recently studied are adult mood and anxiety disorders, and autism, fragile X and Williams syndrome in children. Some of our current research involves: Voluntary and automatic emotion regulation. Resilience in aging. Interactions between emotion and cognitive function, particularly working memory and attention. Temperament in children, in hopes of determining early signs of vulnerability to psychopathology. Social and emotional processing differences in children and adults with autism and fragile X. Mood and anxiety disorders. The impact of pharmaco-therapy and psychotherapy on brain function in patients with mood and anxiety disorders. The effects of meditation on brain function in adept practitioners and novices. Relations between neural mechanisms of emotion and peripheral measures of inflammation and lung function in asthma.

  • mirror neuron system (MNS)
  • The involvement of this multisensory and motor system is particularly evident in experts, such as musicians. Neuroimaging studies using voxel-based morphometry found evidence for structural brain changes such as increased gray matter volume in the inferior frontal gyrus in instrumental musicians compared with non-musicians

  • Theory of mind refers to the ability to understand another person’s mental state, including their beliefs, intents and desires, as separate from one’s own thoughts, experiences and behaviors
  • Research has demonstrated a relationship between joint attention and language development in children with autism.
  • Besides poor joint attention, the communication deficits in autism may be related to imitation difficulties. Imitation involves translating another person’s action into one’s own, and is also considered to be a precursor of language developmen
  • We argue that this engagement could be achieved through forms of music making. Music making with others (e.g., playing instruments or singing) is a multi-modal activity that has been shown to engage brain regions that largely overlap with the human MNS. Furthermore, many children with autism thoroughly enjoy participating in musical activities. Such activities may enhance their ability to focus and interact with others, thereby fostering the development of communication and social skills. Thus, interventions incorporating methods of music making may offer a promising approach for facilitating expressive language in otherwise nonverbal children with autism.
  • Given that the mirror neuron system is believed to involve both sensorimotor integration and speech representation, it is likely to underlie some of the communication deficits in individuals with autism spectrum disorder
  • Music is a unique, multi-modal stimulus that involves the processing of simultaneous visual, auditory, somatosensory, and motoric information; in music making, this information is used to execute and control motor actions
  • It has long been noted that children with autism thoroughly enjoy the process of making and learning music

  • Many students with autism are sensitive to auditory input and have a more difficult time processing auditory stimulation. Their work stations should be placed away from excessive auditory stimulation and away from unnecessary movement.
  • Students with autism perform best when their daily routine is predictable, with clear expectations.
  • Work stations must be clearly defined
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Activities should be designed with strong visual cues
  • Many find deep pressure very relaxing. Others need frequent opportunities for movement.

Items that might never be found together in the physical can now be brought together online -- based on whatever criteria suits the needs of a customer. "

    There is a new knowledge order where people receive information "miscellaneously" instead of in a hierarchical organization. In the physical world, things can be in only one place at a time; however, in the virtual world of the Internet, things can be sorted in any way a user wants to find them.

parent training

shared by Heather Kurto on 16 Jun 13 - No Cached
  • Parenting training has a long history of use with typically developing children who had behavior disorders. Parent training is based on social learning theory, principles of operant theory and behavior modification, and tenets of developmental psychopathology. Evidence suggests that building positive parenting skills and targeting parent–child interactions will have collateral effects on children’s behavior problems (The following popper user interface control may not be accessible.

  • Unlike parent training for families who have children with behavior problems, programs for children with developmental disabilities often target increasing children’s adaptive behavior, self-help skills, language, or academic skills (The following popper user interface control may not be accessible.

  • 81 percent of young people report "media multitasking" at least some of the time.

      I am getting diappointed as I read on this website. Anyone would have difficulty with this type of information, not TBI and convulsions most often do not have anything to do with learning abilities, they are a result of a chemical imbalance, birth dfect, or injury which may cause other cognitive impairment.
