Gesturing May Not Always Make Learning Last
Studies suggest that mimicking specific gestures prior to math instruction facilitates learning. However, benefits could be due to the eye movements that accompany gesture, rather than to gesture per se. Children (M age = 8 yrs, 9 mos) who solved pretest equations incorrectly were taught a correct strategy for solving equations. They were randomly assigned to mimic gestures instantiating the st...
متن کاملA knockout may not always be a knockout.
To the Editor: In a recent issue of Circulation, Hoorntje et al1 presented data on a family with a duplication in exon 4 of HERG. A consanguineous marriage resulted in 2 homozygous offspring: one died before birth and the other had a severe cardiac phenotype characterized by arrhythmias and conduction defects. The importance of these findings regarding the role of HERG in the heart is clear. Th...
متن کاملSocial Learning: Parents May Not Always Know Best
The efficiency with which animals learn new skills depends on their ability to choose good tutors. A new study shows that early-life stress causes young zebra finches to switch tutor preference from parents to unrelated adults.
متن کاملForkhead box transcription factor FoxC1 preserves corneal transparency by regulating vascular growth.
Normal vision requires the precise control of vascular growth to maintain corneal transparency. Here we provide evidence for a unique mechanism by which the Forkhead box transcription factor FoxC1 regulates corneal vascular development. Murine Foxc1 is essential for development of the ocular anterior segment, and in humans, mutations have been identified in Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome, a disorder ...
متن کاملTherapeutic approaches for corneal neovascularization
Angiogenesis refers to new blood vessels that originate from pre-existing vascular structures. Corneal neovascularization which can lead to compromised visual acuity occurs in a wide variety of corneal pathologies. A large subset of measures has been advocated to prevent and/or treat corneal neovascularization with varying degrees of success. These approaches include topical corticosteroid admi...
