the effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test

in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...

Functional Neuroanatomy of the Retina

Prologue In the eight years since Dr. Paul Witkovsky reviewed retinal anatomy and function for this series, a sea change has occurred. We have progressively uncovered detailed molecular architectures for many structures and processes. We have concretely linked circuitry and retinal disease. There is now an overwhelming amount of literature to be screened. A PubMed search on the topic of “retina...

The functional neuroanatomy of autism.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by impaired social and executive functions. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive technique that allows investigation of the neural networks underlying cognitive impairments in autism. In this article, brain imaging studies investigating the functional brain anatomy of autism are reviewed. Face recognition, theory of...

The functional neuroanatomy of actions.

Our current understanding of the neural basis of semantic memory is informed primarily by studies of concrete objects. However, conceptual knowledge encompasses many other, albeit less concrete, domains. This article reviews evidence from neuroimaging and patient studies that speaks to the neural basis of action concepts and the words that refer to them. These data highlight 2 important princip...
