The Attention-Distraction, Inhibition-Excitation Classroom Assessment Scale (ADIECAS) [Evans, P. L. C. (1975). Inhibition and stimulus generalization in the discrimination learning of ESN(S) and ESN(M) children. Unpublished Ph.D. thesis. Manchester, UK: University of Manchester] assesses attention-related difficulties in children with intellectual disabilities (ID). The present study explored t...

Can evolutionary psychology explain human behavior in postindustrial societies? Critics point out that, contrary to its prediction, wealthy men in contemporary societies do not have more children than poor men. I replicate Pérusse’s (1993) finding with a large, representative sample and demonstrate that, while they do not have more children, wealthy men nonetheless have more sex partners and co...

This research aims to create an MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) categorisation method for typing errors. The research is grounded in theory by gathering typing error types found in both HCI and psychology literature. Empirical studies gathering typing errors from children are used to validate these error types. It is hoped that at a later date, this categorisation method can ...

This paper describes a novel approach to developing design guidelines for educational software for children. This approach involves the application of theoretical research from the field of developmental psychology and practical techniques from human-computer interaction to guide the design process. The aim of the study was to determine the extent to which Interaction Design techniques support ...

The psychology and personality of pupils or children in elementary school became one the interesting issues to work on. This issue relates children’s mental health their development. Students are capable absorbing everything around them, just like a sponge. Therefore, good example other way can make up students’ development, starting from an early age until they adult enough own through wise si...

METHOD With a rating scale of skills considered essential for safe and efficient wheelchair operation, 22 children 7 to 22 years of age with either progressive muscular dystrophy or cerebral pals...

There is a need for more capacity for high-quality research in paediatric neurodisability. All clinicians want to know which interventions work and, just as importantly, which do not work for children and families. We also need to know more about best methods of assessment and service provision to meet the needs of disabled children and their families. Increasing importance is being attached to...

In this paper, we provide a new form of upper bound for the converse of Jensen’s inequality. Thereby, known estimations of the difference and ratio in Jensen’s inequality are essentially improved. As an application, we also obtain an improvement of Kantorovich inequality.
