This book was released on 1987 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golden and coworkers developed the adult version of the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery (LNNB) and a corresponding children's version (LNNB-C), suitable for children 8-12 years. The neuropsychological literature revealed much controversy about the diagnostic effectiveness of the LNNB and LNNB-C, the published methodological properties of the batteries, and the conclusiveness of the validation research. In order to come to terms with the above criticisms of the LNNB-C, this study involved revisions of the LNNB-C to produce two versions of the Manitoba Revision of the Luria Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery suitable for older children 8-12 (MLNNB-OC) and for younger children 5-7 years (MLNNB-YC). The MLNNB-YC and -OC were administered to 3 samples of school children: (a) Normal Controls (NC): N - 193, ages 5 - 12 years, grades 1 - 6, about equal numbers of boys and girls, about equal numbers at each year level, good physical and mental health, average with respect to IQ scores, school performance, and socioeconomic status. (b) Learning-Disabled Children (LD): N - 50, ages 5 - 12 years, selected on the basis of strict criteria (i.e., very poor performance in at least one subject, IQ scores 95 - 110, English as first language, no socioeconomic deprivation, good health, freedom from emotional disturbance, good vision and hearing) (c) Brain-Damaged Children (BD) : N - 28, age 5 - 12 years, selected on the basis of neurologically-documented brain damage. Children from all three samples (NC, LD, BD) were tested on the MLNNB-YC or -OC. In addition, all BD children were also tested on the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery for Children (HRNTB-C). Thereafter, the HRNTB-C was administered to 28 LD children selected to match the BD children for age and sex. The NC sample was used to develop a new scoring system for the MLNNB-YC and -OC. The raw scores of the 149 MLNNB-YC or -OC items were converted into 0-1-2 Scores indicating adequate, borderline, or inadequate performance. This conversion is "absolute" in that a child's 0-1-2 Score depends on the adequacy of the child's performance independent of the child's age. The items of each of the 11 MLNNB-YC or -OC scales were then totalled and averaged to produce Scale Scores. The means and standard deviations of Scale Scores of each age level (e.g., 8-year old) were then used to calculate T-Scores appropriate for this age level. T-Scores >80 (3 standard deviations worse than the mean of normal children) were taken as indicative of impared performance. The number of scales where a child exceeded T - 80 were used to develop an Impairment Ratio...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling psychosis, which is an impairment of thinking in which the interpretation of reality is abnormal. Psychosis is a symptom of a disordered brain. Approximately One percent of the population worldwide develops schizophrenia during their lifetime. Although schizophrenia affects men and women with equal frequency, the disorder often appears earlier in men, usually in the late teens or early twenties, than in women, who are generally affected in the twenties to early thirties. People with schizophrenia often suffer symptoms such as hearing internal voices not heard by others, or believing that other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. The current evidence concerning the causes of schizophrenia are many. It is quite clear that multiple factors are involved. These include changes in the chemistry of the brain, changes in the structure of the brain, and genetic factors. Viral infections and head injuries may also play a role. New molecular tools and modern statistical analyses allow focusing in on particular genes that might make people more susceptible to schizophrenia by affecting, for example, brain development or neurotransmitter systems governing brain functioning. State-of-the-art imaging techniques are being used to study the living brain. They have recently revealed specific, subtle abnormalities in the structure and function of the brains of patients with schizophrenia. In other imaging studies, early biochemical changes that may precede the onset of disease symptoms have been noted, prompting examination of the neural circuits that are most likely to be involved in producing those symptoms. This book presents new and important research in the field.

Download or read book Studies on the History of Behavior written by L.S. Vygotsky and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surge of contemporary interest in Vygotsky's contribution to child psychology has focused largely on his developmental method and his claim that higher psychological functions in the individual emerge out of social processes, that is, his notion of the "zone of proximal development." Insufficient attention has been given to his claim that human social and psychological processes are shaped by cultural tools or mediational means. This book is one of the most important documents for understanding this claim. Making a timely appearance, this volume speaks directly to the present crisis in education and the nature/nurture debate in psychology. It provides a greater understanding of an interdisciplinarian approach to the education of normal and exceptional children, the role of literacy in psychological development, the historical and cultural evolution of behavior, and other important issues in cognitive psychology, neurobiology, and cultural and social anthropology.
Download or read book Players and Pawns written by Gary Alan Fine and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chess match seems about as solitary an endeavor as there is in sports: two minds, on their own, in fierce opposition. But is this the case? Inevitably these two minds are in dialogue, and perhaps might be better understood as partners in play. And surrounding that one-on-one contest is a community life that can be as dramatic and intense as the across-the-board confrontation. Gary Alan Fine has spent years immersed in several communities of amateur and professional chess players--children and adults--and in Players and Pawns he takes readers deep inside these worlds, revealing a complex, brilliant, feisty world of commitment and conflict. Opening with a close look at a routine, yet financially troubled, tournament in Atlantic City, Fine carries us from planning and setup through the climactic final day's match-ups between the weekend's top players, introducing us along the way to countless players and their relationships to the game. At tournaments like that one, as well as in locales as diverse as collegiate matches and cash games in Manhattan's Washington Square Park, players find themselves part of what Fine terms a soft community, an open, welcoming space built on their shared commitment to the game. Within that community, chess players find both support and challenges, all amid a shared interest in and love of the long-standing traditions of the game, traditions that help chess players build a communal identity.
