Milner and Goodale (The visual brain in action, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1995; The visual brain in action, 2nd ed., Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2006) propose a model of vision that makes a distinction between vision for perception and vision for action. One strong claim of the model is that the dorsal stream's control of action is designed for dealing with target stimuli in the 'he...

Clopidogrel is a new antiplatelet prescribed for the secondary prevention of atherosclerotic events. The literature shows that the clinical manifestations of clopidogrel hypersensitivity include urticaria1, skin rash2-4, and angioedema5. The precise immunological mechanism underlying clopidogrel hypersensitivity has not been established. We describe two cases of hypersensitivity reaction due to...

BACKGROUND The technique of delayed-immediate breast reconstruction includes immediate insertion of a tissue expander, post-mastectomy radiation, followed by reconstruction. The aesthetic benefits of delayed-immediate reconstruction compared to delayed reconstruction are postulated but remain unproven. The purpose of this study was to compare aesthetic outcomes in patients following delayed and...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of two different types of feedback on a spatial memory task between the blind and blindfolded-sighted participants. Participants tried to estimate the predetermined distance by using their dominant hands. Both blind and blindfolded-sighted groups were randomly divided into two feedback subgroups as "100% frequency" and "10% bandwidth". The sco...

The visual system has developed to transform an undifferentiated and continuous flow of information into discrete and manageable representations, and this ability rests primarily on the uninterrupted nature of the input. Here we explore the impact of altering how visual information is accumulated over time by assessing how intermittent vision influences memory retention. Previous work has shown...

Student modeling has been widely used in the prediction of student correctness behavior on the immediate next action. Some researchers have been working on student modeling to predict delayed performance, that is, retention. Prior work has found that the factors influencing retention differ from those that influence short-term performance. However, this prior research did not use data which wer...

this study builds on laufer and hulstijn’s (2001) motivational-cognitive construct of task-induced involvement in learning vocabulary and addresses itself to its strong claim that the depth of processing is the overriding factor in learning words. the paper first re-examines the effect of processing load and then of task type on the initial learning and retention of words. to do so, 60 efl lear...

objective: the anxiety profile in the stimulant-sensitized animals is not clear. thus, this study was conducted to elucidate the effects of acute and chronic administration of methamphetamine (meth) on the anxiety profile. the aim of this study was to examine whether meth-sensitized rats would show an increase in the expression of anxiogenic-like behaviors and to determine whether a low dose of...
