The properties of cells in the prefrontal cortex and inferotemporal cortex recorded in monkeys performing delayed matching-to-sample tasks with intervening visual stimuli and memory guided attention tasks are reproduced by means of a model in which two networks of leaky integrate-and-"re neurons representing the two cortical areas interact reciprocally. Each of the networks is organized in micr...

objective: the purpose of this study is to examine the factor structure, internal consistency, and construct validity of preschool, first and second grade versions of berkeley parenting self-efficacy scale. method: the subjects were 317 mothers: (102 mothers of preschool children, 111 mothers of first grade children and 104 mothers of second grade children) who were randomly selected from schoo...

This study compared three pedagogical approaches on the acquisition and robust understanding of the control of variables strategy (CVS). In Sao Pedro et al. (2009), we showed that two direct learning conditions (with and without reification) significantly outperformed the discovery learning condition for constructing unconfounded experiments starting from an initially multiply confounded experi...

Intrinsic dynamics of the central vestibular system (CVS) appear to be at least partly determined by the symmetries of its connections. The CVS contributes to whole-body functions such as upright balance and maintenance of gaze direction. These functions coordinate disparate senses (visual, inertial, somatosensory, auditory) and body movements (leg, trunk, head/neck, eye). They are also unified...

evaluation criteria for different versions of the same database the concept of information, during its development, is connected to the concept of entropy created by the 19th century termodynamics scholars. information means, in this view point, order or negentropy. on the other hand, entropy is connected to the concepts as chaos and noise, which cause, in turn, disorder. in the present paper, ...

of the most essential tasks should be done in the field of researches on shāhnāmeh is collecting and analyzing its sporadic verses in other works of persian old literature. the purpose of such approach is shāhnāmeh correction.    since there is a 200 years gap between the time shāhnāmeh was composed (400 ah) up to the time of its earliest version(florence, 614 ah) and since there are almost som...
