Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pattern behavior is a characteristic quality of many individuals in special populations (American Psychiatric Association, 2000, 2013; Rinehart, Bradshaw, Brereton, & Tongue, 2002). This is typically accommodated through repetitive activities, and the use of routine and structure in daily or weekly activities in order to create an ideal environment in terms of socialization, comfort, and security. Every morning might involve the same dressing, hygiene and eating routine; every weeks dinners might follow the same menu (Monday is pasta, Tuesday is chicken, etc.). Some individuals with special needs are comforted by these routines and this predictability of experiences day to day. Without structure or routine, such individuals might lash out due to fear, surprise, or discomfort with unexpected situations (Bishop, Richler, Cain, & Lord, 2007; South, Ozonoff, & McMahon, 2005; Cook, DCruz, Masconi, Ragozzino, Shrestha, Sweeney, 2013). Therefore, the use of patterns or routines has become an accepted and widely used adaptation to these individuals activities of daily living. However, the use of performance arts provides an alternative route to addressing this need, satisfying the individuals desire for routine while promoting an acceptance of variability. Performance arts (such as improvisation, instrumental performance, vocal performance, and dance performance) provide a model for self-expression where a structure and rules are in place, but also allow for individual, unique expression. This model satisfies -- on the surface -- the need for structure and predictable outcomes. However, the model also simultaneously addresses and treats the preference for predictability. Through the use of performance arts in therapy for special populations, a model and structure is put into place, but within such structure there is room for variance and novel creation. This provides an enticing environment for self expression and novel creation, and a safe place to express feelings in a verbal and physical way, appropriate to the specific activity (Corbett, 2014b; Nelson, 2017). Performance also can benefit individuals in terms of allowing for expression of feelings, relating verbal and nonverbal expression of feelings, and teaching appropriate avenues of expression. Therefore, when utilized with individuals with special needs, these activities encourage acceptance of novelty, concerning the behavior of others as well as the individual him or herself. This qualitative study of a small group of individuals explored the behavioral changes individuals might identify in themselves, and the changes others witness in these individuals as well. The goal of this study was to answer the initial question: How does the predictable but various structure of music and improvisation promote comfort with novelty -- specifically willingness to participate, initiation of novel activities, and decreased sensitivity to change -- through performance practice and activities?

Download or read book NETWORKING 2004 Networking Technologies Services and Protocols Performance of Computer and Communication Networks Mobile and Wireless Communications written by Nikolas Mitrou and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-04-08 with total page 1553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the refereed proceedings of the 3rd International IFIP-TC6 Networking Conference, Networking 2004. Conferences in the Networking series span the interests of several distinct, but related, TC6 working groups, including Working Groups 6.2, 6.3, and 6.8. Re?ecting this, the conference was structured with three Special Tracks: (i) Networking Technologies, Services, and Protocols; (ii) Performance of Computer and Communication Networks; and (iii) Mobile and Wireless Communications. However, beyond providing a forum for the presentation of high-quality - search in various complementary aspects of networking, the conference was also targetedtocontributingtoauni?edviewofthe?eldandtofosteringtheinter- tion and exchange of fruitful ideas between the various related (and overlapping) specialized subcommunities therein. Towards this second objective, more than a few conference sessions (and thematic sections in this book) ‘cut across’ the Special Tracks, along more generic or fundamental concepts. Networking 2004 was fortunate to attract very high interest among the c- munity, and the conference received 539 submissions from 44 countries in all ?ve continents. These ?gures correspond to a remarkable increase in subm- sions from the previous very successful events (roughly, a 156% increase over Networking 2000 and 71% over Networking 2002), and indicate that Netw- king conferences are progressively becoming established as worldwide reference events in the ?eld.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Physiology of Interpersonal Communication written by Lindsey Aloia and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication scholars have long recognized the importance of understanding associations between our bodies and communication messages and processes. In the past decade, there has been an increased focus on the role of physiology in interpersonal interactions, resulting in a surge of research exploring topics related to communication in close relationships. This growing line of research explores topics such as affectionate communication, forgiveness, communication apprehension, and social support. Contributing to the increase in physiological research on communication processes is a greater recognition of the bi-directional nature of the associations between communication and the body. Researchers study both the physiological outcomes of communication episodes (e.g., stress responses to conflict conversations), as well as the effects of physiology on communication process (e.g., the influence of hormones on post-sex communication). The Oxford Handbook of the Physiology of Interpersonal Communication offers a comprehensive review of the most prolific areas of research investigating both the physiological outcomes of interpersonal communication and the effects of physiology on interpersonal interactions. This volume brings together thirty-three leading scholars in the field and draws on research from communication studies, physiology, psychology, and neuroscience. Based on quantitative research methods, the Handbook serves as a resource for both researchers and students interested in investigating the mutual influence of physiology and communication in close relationships.
