Download or read book Estimulaci n cognitiva y de las funciones ejecutivas en beb s 0 a 24 meses written by María de las Mercedes Cáceres Chávez and published by Ediciones Pirámide. This book was released on 2022-10-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El contenido del libro fluye entre dos líneas teóricas relevantes para los dos primeros años del bebé: el aprendizaje y el desarrollo.En esta etapa surgen cuestiones: ¿cómo aprende un bebé?, ¿qué aprende? y ¿qué estrategias podemos utilizar para favorecer el proceso de aprendizaje? Las autoras responden a estas y a otras preguntas con una aportación metodológica procedimental precisa y aplicada a la estimulación cognitiva dentro del ámbito de la atención temprana en bebés de cero a veinticuatro meses. En la parte teórica se expone una actualización de las investigaciones sobre las capacidades cognitivas (atención, percepción, memoria y razonamiento) y en especial sobre las funciones ejecutivas del bebé. Todas estas capacidades constituyen un potencial evolutivo que necesita la mediación del adulto, que tiene un importante papel en la formación de un desarrollo cognitivo cada vez más complejo. Además, se analizan las dimensiones de la comunicación no verbal y el desarrollo del juego simbólico como conductas representativas que contribuyen a la generación del conocimiento. La parte práctica tiene como hoja de ruta tres bloques fundamentales: un conjunto de competencias cognitivas, un apartado de aplicación práctica (metodología con protocolos y actividades) y una guía de proyectos diseñados para la estimulación de las siguientes competencias: procesamiento de sensaciones y percepciones, conocimiento de los objetos, permanencia del objeto, construcción de la lógica de las acciones, estimulación de las funciones ejecutivas y pautas para favorecer la comunicación y el juego simbólico. Todo ello bajo un enfoque ecológico centrado en la intervención individualizada, teniendo en cuenta la participación activa del bebé y de otras personas de su ámbito cotidiano. Sin duda es novedoso que en la obra se trate sobre la complejidad, a menudo desconocida, del pensamiento del bebé desde un análisis riguroso basado en las principales investigaciones sobre funciones ejecutivas(cont.)

Download or read book Overcoming Autism written by Lynn Kern Koegel, Ph.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.

Download or read book Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions written by Julian P. T. Higgins and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2008-11-24 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare providers, consumers, researchers and policy makers are inundated with unmanageable amounts of information, including evidence from healthcare research. It has become impossible for all to have the time and resources to find, appraise and interpret this evidence and incorporate it into healthcare decisions. Cochrane Reviews respond to this challenge by identifying, appraising and synthesizing research-based evidence and presenting it in a standardized format, published in The Cochrane Library (www.thecochranelibrary.com). The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions contains methodological guidance for the preparation and maintenance of Cochrane intervention reviews. Written in a clear and accessible format, it is the essential manual for all those preparing, maintaining and reading Cochrane reviews. Many of the principles and methods described here are appropriate for systematic reviews applied to other types of research and to systematic reviews of interventions undertaken by others. It is hoped therefore that this book will be invaluable to all those who want to understand the role of systematic reviews, critically appraise published reviews or perform reviews themselves.

Download or read book Theory of Mind written by Scott A. Miller and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to provide a comprehensive review of the burgeoning literature on theory of mind (TOM) after the preschool years and the first to integrate this literature with other approaches to the study of social understanding. By highlighting the relationship between early and later developments, the book provides readers with a greater understanding of what we know and what we still need to know about higher-order TOM. Although the focus is on development in typical populations, development in individuals with autism and in older adults is also explored to give readers a deeper understanding of possible problems in development. Examining the later developments of TOM gives readers a greater understanding of: Developments that occur after the age of 5. Individual differences in rate of development and atypical development and the effects of those differences. The differences in rate of mastery which become more marked, and therefore more informative, with increased age. What it means to have a “good theory of mind.” The differences between first- and second- order theory of mind development in preschoolers, older children, adolescents, and adults. The range of beliefs available to children at various ages, providing a fuller picture of what is meant by “understanding of belief.” After the introduction, the literature on first-order developments during the preschool period is summarized to serve as a backdrop for understanding more advanced developments. Chapter 3 is devoted to the second-order false belief task. Chapters 4 and 5 introduce a variety of other measures for understanding higher-level forms of TOM thereby providing readers with greater insight into other cognitive and social developmental outcomes. Chapter 6 discusses the relation between children’s TOM abilities and other aspects of their development. Chapters 7 and 8 place the work in a historical context. First, the research on the development of social and mental worlds that predated the emergence of TOM is examined. Chapter 8 then provides a comparative treatment of the two literatures and how they complement one another. Ideal as a supplement in graduate or advanced undergraduate courses in theory of mind, cognitive development, or social development taught in psychology and education. Veteran researchers will also appreciate this book‘s unique synthesis of this critical research.

Download or read book Ethics for Behavior Analysts written by Jon Bailey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavior analysis, a rapidly growing profession, began with the use and application of conditioning and learning techniques to modify the behavior of children or adults presenting severe management problems, often because of developmental disabilities. Now behavior analysts work in a variety of settings, from clinics and schools to workplaces. Especially since their practice often involves aversive stimuli or punishment, they confront many special ethical challenges. Recently, the Behavior Analysis Certification Board codified a set of ten fundamental ethical guidelines to be followed by all behavior analysts and understood by all students and trainees seeking certification. This book shows readers how to follow the BACB guidelines in action. The authors first describe core ethical principles and then explain each guideline in detail, in easily comprehensible, everyday language. The text is richly illuminated by more than a hundred vivid case scenarios about which the authors pose, and later answer questions for readers. Useful appendices include the BACB Guidelines, an index to them, practice scenarios, and suggested further reading. Practitioners, instructors, supervisors, students, and trainees alike will welcome this invaluable new aid to professional development.
