Exploring the Relationship Between Phonological Awareness and Reading Ability: From Elementary Teachers’ Perspectives
The present study investigated the way elementary school teachers perceive the importance of phonological awareness in their classroom experiences. To achieve the aim, 75 elementary school teachers of both genders with diverse years of experience and qualifications from 25 elementary schools in Khorram Abad, Iran were selected. In order to obtain the data, the modified version of the Likert-typ...
متن کاملImaging brain connectivity in children with diverse reading ability.
Reading is a complex cognitive skill that requires the coordination of multiple brain regions. Although functional neuroimaging studies highlight the cortical brain regions associated with a specific cognitive task like reading, they do not directly address the underlying neural connections necessary for efficient performance of this task. Adults with reading disability have demonstrated lower ...
متن کاملMyelination in children with partial deletions of chromosome 18q.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We compared myelin levels in white matter (WM) in typically developing children with those of children with partial deletions of chromosome 18q (18q-). METHODS Conventional spin-echo MR imaging at 1.9T was used to acquire T1-, T2-, and proton density-weighted images of the brain. From these images, a three-pool model was used to estimate the fraction of water in myelin,...
متن کاملThe Ability of Ultrasonic Characterization to Extract the Dose Distribution of MAGIC-f Polymer Gel
Background & Aims: Today, different imaging techniques have been studied in the reading of radiationsensitive polymer gels dosage. Due to limitations of imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), ultrasound techniques are proposed for dose-dependent parameter extraction. In this study, using MAGIC-f (methacrylic and ascorbic acid in gelatin initiat...
متن کاملRapid Three-Dimensional Myelin Water Fraction Imaging of the Cervical Spinal Cord
INTRODUCTION: The ability to non-invasively and quantitatively assess myelin content in the spinal cord would improve our understanding of a variety of spinal cord-related conditions, as well as enhance our ability to differentially diagnose, treat and monitor them. Currently, little is known about the pathology of myelin in spinal cord disease due to the technical challenges of measuring myeli...
