Constructs Underlying Measures of Sensory-Motor Functions

Specifying the Underlying Constructs of Home Culture Attachment Scale

This study was conducted to extract first, the underlying factors of Home Culture Attachment Scale (HCAS) and second, to confirm these factors via Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. To meet this end, the scale was distributed to 374 English language learners in private language institutes in Mashhad, Iran. To determine the construct validity of the scale, Exploratory Factor Analysis (...

Dynamic Assessment: From Underlying Constructs to Implications for Language Teaching

Testing as a general trait of social life has received a great deal of attention by many language teachers and scholars. Throughout history, people have been tested to prove their abilities and experiences or to confirm their capacities. Many authorities have said that assessment and instruction should be integrated as a single and inseparable activity which seeks to understand development by a...

Circumplex Measures of Interpersonal Constructs

Quantitative measures detect sensory and motor impairments in multiple sclerosis.

BACKGROUND Sensory and motor dysfunction in multiple sclerosis (MS) is often assessed with rating scales which rely heavily on clinical judgment. Quantitative devices may be more precise than rating scales. OBJECTIVE To quantify lower extremity sensorimotor measures in individuals with MS, evaluate the extent to which they can detect functional systems impairments, and determine their relatio...

The multiple functions of sensory-motor representations: an introduction.

The papers in this issue consider the role of sensory-motor processes and their neural structures in higher cognitive functions such as visual and motor imagery, iconic memory, temporal judgement, mental rotation, and the representation of object and action concepts. The papers draw on a range of methodologies, from computational modelling to behavioural studies of braindamaged subjects, to fMR...
