Somatosensory electrical stimulation (SES) can increase motor performance, presumably through a modulation of neuronal excitability. Because the effects of SES can outlast the period of stimulation, we examined the possibility that SES can also enhance the retention of motor performance, motor memory consolidation, after 24 h (Day 2) and 7 days (Day 7), that such effects would be scaled by SES ...

RATIONALE Health disparities defined by neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) are well established; it is less well understood whether neighborhood SES is differentially associated with health depending on one's own SES. OBJECTIVE The double jeopardy hypothesis, collective resources model, fundamental cause theory, and relative deprivation hypothesis support differential patterns of associa...

A large body of SES-Attainment studies has established the relationship between student’s socioeconomic background and academic achievement, making SES a single powerful predictor of student’s performance. Typically SES is measured as a composition of parental education, occupation and income. However, a variety of alternative measurement of SES has also been developed (White, 1982; Sirin, 2005...
