In a rapidly evolving field such as Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy (CRT), it is important for practitioners to be fully acquainted with the history and efficacy of their discipline. This review traces the development of Cognitive Rehabilitation over the past century and describes the status of CRT today. The authors describe various methods of Cognitive Remediation that are in current use alo...

Curium was produced for experimental programs for use as a heat source for isotopic electrical power generators and by 1968 approximately 5 kg had been produced at the Savannah River Site (SRS). Size fractionated groundwater samples were collected near a disposal basin in F-Area at SRS in 1998 and in 2004. Separation of Cm via extraction chromatographic methods was followed by alpha spectrometr...

Difficulties in social interactions are a central characteristic of people with schizophrenia, and can be partly explained by impairments of social cognitive processes. New strategies of cognitive remediation have been recently developed to target these deficits. The RC2S therapy is an individualized and partly computerized program through which patients practice social interactions and develop...

Cognitive remediation (CR) is a treatment approach that is being increasingly examined as a means through which the cognitive impacts of schizophrenia might be ameliorated. While CR has demonstrated good outcomes when paired with supported employment, little is known regarding how it might be integrated within supported education contexts. In this study CR was examined in a supported education ...

The present experiment tested the hypothesis that the remediation of negative emotion will be most effective when the remedial procedure matches the experience or cognition that induced the negative state--process-specificity hypothesis. Other hypotheses examined were that negative states induced by cognitive reflection related to the self would be resistant to remediation, even by a same-proce...

BACKGROUND Individual Placement and Support (IPS) appears to be an effective vocational intervention for obtaining competitive employment for people with severe mental illness. However, no IPS studies or trials have been conducted in Denmark, a country characterized by a specialized labor market with a higher minimum wage and fewer entry-level jobs in comparison with other countries such as the...

Chromium pollution has been historically widespread throughout the world. Most available remediation technologies often require energy consumption. This study is aimed to develop electrochemical remediation for Cr(VI) in chromium-slag leakage with self-generated electricity. Dynamic leaching experiments of chromium-slag samples were conducted to survey the release and leaching behavior of Cr(VI...

Verbal, nonverbal, demographic, and eye-hand laterality measures were administered to a sample of 34 Navy recruits attending a remedial reading program and 53 recruits who were members of a regular recruit company. Verbal intelligence scores (as determined by the General Classification Test) differentiated best between the remediation and non-remediation groups. Race (being non-Caucasian) was a...

A critical review of the last 25 years of dioxin policy in the Elbe river catchment is presented along seven main theses of the River Basin Community (RBC)-Elbe background document "Pollutants" for the Management Plan 2016-2021. In this period, polychlorinated dibenzodioxins/-furans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) will play a major role: (i) as new priority substan...
