"Magic of Today: Tomorrow’s Technology” Wearables for Kids

Research is presented that illustrates frameworks being developed that involve young children in the process of development of future wearable technologies – A hypercamera the KidsCam. It is envisioned that such digital technology will become embedded in educational culture forming part of the ‘educational information ecology’ [EIE] and create opportunities for shared reflection on early life e...

The heterogenous nature of breast tumours (Hawkins et al., 1977; Silfversward et al., 1980) complicates the application of oestrogen receptor assay results to the management of breast cancer. Much effort has therefore been expended on the development of histochemical assays to detect receptors in tissue sections, initially with oestrogenprotein conjugates (e.g. Pertschuk et al., 1979; Lee, 1978...

Kids observing other kids' hands: visuomotor priming in children.

We investigated motor resonance in children using a priming paradigm. Participants were asked to judge the weight of an object shortly primed by a hand in an action-related posture (grasp) or a non action-related one (fist). The hand prime could belong to a child or to an adult. We found faster response times when the object was preceded by a grasp hand posture (motor resonance effect). More cr...
