Download or read book The Effect of Trials to criterion on the Retention of a Discrete Motor Skill by Moderately Retarded and Severely Mentally Retarded Individuals written by James Wesley Morehouse and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of trials-to-criterion on the retention of a discrete motor skill (overhand beanbag throw) by moderately mentally retarded and severely mentally retarded individuals. Nonmentally retarded individuals were involved as a control group. The subjects were grouped by degree of retardation and randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups: two, three, or four consecutive trials-to-criterion. The task consisted of an overhand throw of a 2-inch square beanbag into the inner circle of a target from a distance of 10 feet. The subjects were provided one-to-one instruction until their respective criterion (2, 3, or 4 consecutive correct attempts) was met without assistance. The subjects were given up to eight weeks of instruction three times per week to meet criterion. A nationally validated systematic approach to instruction for the severely handicapped, as designed by Teaching Research and Oregon State University, was used. The number of attempts it took each subject to achieve the learning criterion (2, 3, or 4 consecutive correct attempts) was recorded. All subjects began the retention interval once their respective learning criterion was met. At the conclusion of the four-week retention interval the subjects were given a posttest to determine if the skill had been retained. Two consecutive correct attempts were used as criterion for the retention test. If the subjects did not meet the posttest criterion, one-to-one instruction was provided until two consecutive correct throws were achieved. The number of attempts it took each subject to reach two trials-to-criterion after the retention interval was utilized as a measure of retention. A generalized, randomized block ANCOVA was used to determine if any significant difference existed between the experimental and control groups. The pretest served as the covariate and was used as the reference for comparison to the posttest. The results of the study indicated that the scores of the mentally retarded subjects improved as a result of the treatment effect. Severely mentally retarded subjects who experienced three and four trials-to-criterion performed significantly better than severely mentally retarded subjects in the two trials-to-criterion group. No significant differences in the treatment groups were found for the nonmentally retarded and the moderately mentally retarded groups. However the moderately mentally retarded approached significance with better scores obtained by subjects in the three and four trials-to-criterion groups. On the basis of the findings of this study and within the limitations of the investigation, it was concluded that increased trials-to-criterion significantly influenced the retention scores of severely retarded individuals.
Download or read book Cerebral Palsy written by Freeman Miller and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-05-08 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a child has a health problem, parents want answers. But when a child has cerebral palsy, the answers don't come quickly. A diagnosis of this complex group of chronic conditions affecting movement and coordination is difficult to make and is typically delayed until the child is eighteen months old. Although the condition may be mild or severe, even general predictions about long-term prognosis seldom come before the child's second birthday. Written by a team of experts associated with the Cerebral Palsy Program at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, this authoritative resource provides parents and families with vital information that can help them cope with uncertainty. Thoroughly updated and revised to incorporate the latest medical advances, the second edition is a comprehensive guide to cerebral palsy. The book is organized into three parts. In the first, the authors describe specific patterns of involvement (hemiplegia, diplegia, quadriplegia), explain the medical and psychosocial implications of these conditions, and tell parents how to be effective advocates for their child. In the second part, the authors provide a wealth of practical advice about caregiving from nutrition to mobility. Part three features an extensive alphabetically arranged encyclopedia that defines and describes medical terms and diagnoses, medical and surgical procedures, and orthopedic and other assistive devices. Also included are lists of resources and recommended reading.
Download or read book The Milwaukee Project written by Howard L. Garber and published by American Association. This book was released on 1988 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines effectiveness of preschool and family intervention in prevention of cultural-familial retardation. It attempts to resolve part of the complex of influences on early intellectual development in those born into seriously disadvantaged environments that could account for the increased risk for certain children to be identified as mentally retarded. Development of 17 subjects from infancy through age 15 is charted in terms of intellectual and related measurements, alongside 18 controls. Chapters include "Introduction to the Problem"; "The Course of Early Intellectual Development"; "Design and Method"; "Assessment of Intellectual Development"; "Learning and Performance"; "Assessment of Language Development"; "Mother-Child Interaction"; "Follow-up Assessment of Development"; "Analysis of the Children's Performance in School"; "Family Risk and Child's Intellectual Development"; "The Children and Their Families"; and an epilogue discussing the role of maternal mediation and methodological factors.

Download or read book Arthrogryposis written by Lynn T. Staheli and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-04-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term arthrogryposis describes a range of congenital contractures that lead to childhood deformities. It encompasses a number of syndromes and sporadic deformities that are rare individually but collectively are not uncommon. Yet, the existing medical literature on arthrogryposis is sparse and often confusing. The aim of this book is to provide individuals affected with arthrogryposis, their families, and health care professionals with a helpful guide to better understand the condition and its therapy. With this goal in mind, the editors have taken great care to ensure that the presentation of complex clinical information is at once scientifically accurate, patient oriented, and accessible to readers without a medical background. The book is authored primarily by members of the medical staff of the Arthrogryposis Clinic at Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, one of the leading teams in the management of the condition, and will be an invaluable resource for both health care professionals and families of affected individuals.
Download or read book Inventing the Feeble Mind written by James Trent and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pity, disgust, fear, cure, and prevention--all are words that Americans have used to make sense of what today we call intellectual disability. Inventing the Feeble Mind explores the history of this disability from its several identifications over the past 200 years: idiocy, imbecility, feeblemindedness, mental defect, mental deficiency, mental retardation, and most recently intellectual disability. Using institutional records, private correspondence, personal memories, and rare photographs, James Trent argues that the economic vulnerability of intellectually disabled people (and often their families), more than the claims made for their intellectual and social limitations, has shaped meaning, services, and policies in United States history.
