The aim of the experiment reported in this paper was to establish whether dyslectics have specific attentional problems. To this end the performance between a group of 12 adult dyslectics and 14 adult controls on a Posner task with endogenous attentional cuing was compared. In addition participants also made a number of clinically used pen and paper tasks. During the Posner task, EEG was measur...

In May 2003, 10 speakers and a large audience gathered at the University of Oregon in Eugene to pay tribute to the enormously influential contributions Michael Posner has made to the disciplines of psychology and cognitive neuroscience. They gathered, moreover, to express appreciation for his profound influence, both personal and professional, on their careers at times when they were students—u...

The core assumption in this study is that conceptual change in learners is an active, constructive process that is enhanced by the pedagogic use of computer-animated images. The ...

Normatively, it shows that the lack of correlation between non-subsistence consumption and welfare supports the argument that regulation should be strict, unless widespread plant shutdowns, which would seriously impact well-b...
