Specific relations between executive functions (working memory capacity, planning and problem-solving, inhibitory control) and motor skill performance (anticipatory motor planning, manual dexterity) were examined in 5- to 6-year-old children (N = 40). Results showed that the two motor skill components were not correlated. Additionally, it was found that response planning performance was a signi...

Previous studies of grasping and object manipulation in children with cerebral palsy (CP) have suggested a dichotomy in the ability to use anticipatory control (planning) of the fingertip force output, depending on the type of sensory information (tactile or proprioceptive) on which it is based. The present study further explores this issue by testing the ability of 15 children with hemiplegic ...

Given the importance of IT investments in today’s organization, firms tend to spend increasing amounts of time and resources to better manage IT projects. However these projects continue to have high failure rates thus highlighting the need for improved risk management. A stream of IS research has focused on identifying several causes of managerial risks. The theory base that has been used in t...

BACKGROUND Communication between physicians and patients is an important component of medical encounters and has been identified by the Institute of Medicine as a point of intervention to increase quality of care. In pediatric health maintenance visits, substantial recommended communication, in the form of anticipatory guidance, is not provided. OBJECTIVE To examine the effectiveness of an in...

OBJECTIVES Pre-exposure to an environment in which a nausea-inducing body rotation will subsequently be given constitutes a latent inhibition procedure that might act to reduce anticipatory and postrotation nausea. METHODS This was tested in 24 healthy subjects randomly assigned to receive no pre-exposure (group 0), a single pre-exposure (group 1), or three pre-exposures (group 3). Rotation w...

We develop the theory of smooth principal bundles for a group G, using framework diffeological spaces. After giving new examples showing why arbitrary cannot be classified, we define D-numerable bundles, analogs numerable from topology, and prove that pulling back bundle along smoothly homotopic maps gives isomorphic pullbacks. then structures on Milnor’s spaces EG BG, show → BG is bundle, it c...

urtica dioica l. is an iranian native pharmacological plant for which little attention has been paid to the anatomical structure. medical applications of this plant include diabetes therapy, digestive improvement, anemia and kidney disease therapy. because climatic conditions can affect the anatomical structure which in turn affects pharmacological compositions, research on the anatomy of this ...

We compared the predictive behavior of smooth pursuit (SP) and suppression of the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) in humans by examining anticipatory smooth eye movements, a phenomenon that arises after repeated presentations of sudden target movement preceded by an auditory warning cue. We investigated whether anticipatory smooth eye movements also occur prior to cued head motion, particularly wh...

This chapter seeks to achieve three things, in decreasing order of importance: (1) To point out the basic phenomenon, i.e., the prematurity of many crime prevention effects relative to the point at which they would occur if they were the product of their presumed mechanism. This is termed anticipatory benefits. (2) To trawl published literature for instances of possible and probable anticipator...

We distinguish between two kinds of future-oriented emotions (anticipatory and anticipated) and investigate their behavioral effects. Anticipatory emotions are currently experienced due to the prospect of a future event (e.g., hope or fear). Anticipated emotions, on the other hand, are expected to be experienced in the future if certain events do or do not occur (e.g., anticipated joy or regret...
