A Guide to Designing a Memory fMRI Paradigm for Pre-surgical Evaluation in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

2020

There has been increasing interest in the clinical and experimental use of memory functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). The 2017 American Academy of Neurology practice guidelines on the use of pre-surgical cognitive fMRI suggests that verbal memory fMRI could be used to lateralize memory functions in people with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) and should be used to predict post-operative verbal memory outcome. There are however technical and methodological considerations, to optimize both the sensitivity and specificity of this imaging modality. Below we discuss these constraints and suggest recommendations to consider when designing a memory fMRI paradigm.

Pašregulācijas stilu, tagadnes laika perspektīvu un darba intensitātes savstarpēja saistība

2017

Pētījuma “Pašregulācijas stilu, tagadnes laika perspektīvu un darba intensitātes savstarpēja saistība” mērķis bija noskaidrot kādas tagadnes laika perspektīvas un pašregulācijas stili prognozē darba intensitāti, un, vai pastāv saistība starp tagadnes laika perspektīvu, pašregulācijas stiliem un darba intensitāti. Dati tika ievākti no 148 strādājošiem cilvēkiem, kuri dzīvo dažādās Latvijas pilsētās, vecumā no 25 līdz 65 gadiem (vidējais vecums M = 38,03 gadi SD = 12,46), no kuriem 76 (51,35%) bija sievietes un 72 vīrieši (48,65%). Datu ievākšanai tika izmantotas šādas metodes: Pašregulācijas stilu aptauja, Tagadnes laika perspektīvas aptauja (TLPA) un Darba intensitātes aptauja. Visas metode…

Understanding Action and Adventure Sports Participation—An Ecological Dynamics Perspective

2017

© 2017, The Author(s). Previous research has considered action and adventure sports using a variety of associated terms and definitions which has led to confusing discourse and contradictory research findings. Traditional narratives have typically considered participation exclusively as the pastime of young people with abnormal characteristics or personalities having unhealthy and pathological tendencies to take risks because of the need for thrill, excitement or an adrenaline ‘rush’. Conversely, recent research has linked even the most extreme forms of action and adventure sports to positive physical and psychological health and well-being outcomes. Here, we argue that traditional framewor…

Understanding the limits of self-control: Positive affect moderates the impact of task switching on consecutive self-control performance

2013

Performing consecutive self-control tasks typically leads to deterioration in self-control performance. This effect can be explained within the strength model of self-control or within a cognitive control perspective. Both theoretical frameworks differ in their predictions with regard to the impact of affect and task characteristics on self-control deterioration within a two-task paradigm. Whereas the strength model predicts decrements in self-control performance whenever both tasks require a limited resource, under a cognitive control perspective, decrements should only occur when people switch to a different response conflict in the second task. Moreover, only the cognitive control model …

Opportunities to Study, Practice, and Rehearse Teaching in Teacher Preparation: An International Perspective

2020

BackgroundAround the world, policy makers and teacher educators are paying increasing attention to how teacher candidates learn to study and enact teaching and to grounding preparation more deeply in teachers’ classroom practice. Evidence from the United States and the Netherlands suggests that efforts to tie preparation to practice may significantly impact pupils’ learning. However, the nature of teacher candidates’ opportunities to study, practice, and rehearse teaching remains underexplored, especially in international studies.PurposeOur research analyzes opportunities to study, practice, and rehearse teaching in teacher education coursework in five different programs in five countries. …

Opportunities to enact practice in campus courses: Taking a student perspective

2018

The aim of this article is to explore similarities and differences in teacher candidates’ perceptions of their opportunities to enact practice in university courses in five teacher education programmes, located in Norway, Finland, USA, Cuba, and Chile. Paper and pencil surveys were distributed among candidates (N = 488) to measure their perception of their opportunities to enact practice in campus courses. Across programmes, the students report the least opportunity to examine transcripts of classroom talk or student discussions. They report the most opportunity to talk about their field placement and to plan for their teaching. Using Analysis of Variance, differences between the programmes…

A theory of recognition as framework for religious education. Reading Axel Honneth from a pedagogical and theological perspective

2018

Experiences of withheld and of granted recognition constitute an integral part of everybody’s learning biography, as the experience of recognition is crucial to all processes of socialisation and i...

Introducing Dialogic Teaching to Science Student Teachers

2011

It is commonly believed that science teachers rely on language that allows only minor flexibility when it comes to taking into account contrasting views and pupil thoughts. Too frequently science teachers either pose questions that target predefined answers or simply lecture through lessons, a major concern from a sociocultural perspective. This study reports the experiences of science student teachers when introduced to the Communicative Approach to science education drawing on dialogic teacher-talk in addition to authoritative teacher-talk. This approach was introduced to the students in an interventional teaching program running parallel to the student teachers’ field practice. The pract…

Teachers’ Implicit Meaning Systems and Their Implications for Pedagogical Thinking and Practice: A Case Study from Finland

2016

ABSTRACTThis qualitative case study examines teachers’ implicit meaning systems built around their core beliefs on the malleability of human qualities. Previous research has demonstrated the influence of students’ implicit theories on motivation and achievement and has presented successful interventions for students. However, research on teachers’ implicit theories and, in particular, their actualization in natural environments is lacking. The data for this study include observations and stimulated recall interviews with two Finnish teachers whose opposing implicit theories were first indicated in 2000 by Carol Dweck . The results depict how these teachers’ implicit meaning systems influenc…
