Selective sharing: The impact of patterns of communication in young people experiencing maternal cancer
(Wiley, 2018-10-09)Background Adolescents that experience parental cancer can have significant difficulties and may be at a greater risk of emotional and behavioural problems; however, some studies have found that this experience can also ... -
Sexual counselling for patients with cardiovascular disease: protocol for a pilot study of the CHARMS sexual counselling intervention
(BMJ Publishing GroupBMJ Publishing Group, 2016)Sexual problems are common with cardiovascular disease, and can negatively impact quality of life. To address sexual problems, guidelines have identified the importance of sexual counselling during cardiac rehabilitation, ... -
Sexual counselling for sexual problems in patients with cardiovascular disease (Review)
(Wiley, 2016-02-24)Background: Sexual problems are common among people with cardiovascular disease. Although clinical guidelines recommend sexual counselling for patients and their partners, there is little evidence on its effectiveness. ... -
Six reports of children with autism spectrum disorder following intensive behavioral intervention using the Preschool Inventory of Repertoires for Kindergarten (PIRK®)
(Elsevier, 2009)The current study presents case reports of 6 children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who received intensive applied behavior analysis within the Comprehensive Application of Behavior Analysis to Schooling (CABAS®) ... -
Six-year follow-up of the SPHERE RCT: secondary prevention of heart disease in general practice
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2015-11)Objective To determine the long-term effectiveness of a complex intervention in primary care aimed at improving outcomes for patients with coronary heart disease. Design A 6-year follow-up of a cluster randomised ... -
Sleep problems in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A literature review
(Springer Verlag, 2013-11-27)The purpose of this literature review is to provide an overview of the research on sleep problems in autism spectrum disorder. Topics explored are the prevalence of sleep problems, the importance of studying sleep problems, ... -
Smartphone apps for improving medication adherence in hypertension: patients’ perspectives
(Dove Medical Press, 2018-05-14)Purpose Digital interventions, such as smartphone applications (apps), are becoming an increasingly common way to support medication adherence and self-management in chronic conditions. It is important to investigate how ... -
Some effects of negative delays upon the perception of causal relatedness
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2004)We examined the effects of negative delays on the perception of causality using a variation of the paradigm originated by Michotte (1954) and as an extension to similar work conducted by Kanizsa and Vicario (1968). In our ... -
Some facilitatory effects of lorazepam on dynamic visual binding
(Springer, 2006)Rationale: The benzodiazepine lorazepam enhances the potential for inhibitory (GABAA) synapses in the cortex to stabilize postsynaptic, excitatory activity by synchronizing discharge rates at frequencies of around 40 Hz. ... -
Structural imbalance and aesthetic preference in domestic chicks
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2010-10)In Arnheim¿s (1954/1974) theory of structural balance, an image is more aesthetically pleasing when it demonstrates balance between multiple internal sources of directed perceptual force. Areas of balance and preferred ... -
Surveying knowledge, practice and attitudes towards intervention fidelity within trials of complex healthcare interventions
(BMC, 2018-09-19)Background Intervention fidelity is the degree to which interventions have been implemented as intended by their developers. Assessing fidelity is crucial for accurate interpretation of intervention effectiveness, but ... -
Synchronization and stimulus timing: Implications for temporal models of visual information processing.
(Lawrence Erlbaum and Associates / Psychology Press (Taylor & Francis), 2004)In the visual system, objects and object groupings may be initially coded in terms of physically separable attributes or features, representing differential spatial frequencies, orientations, colors, directions of motion, ... -
Synchronous information presented in 40-Hz flicker enhances visual feature binding
(Blackwell, 1998-01)Recent neurophysiological studies have encouraged speculation that the synchronization of spatially distributed neural assemblies (at around 40 Hz in the neocortex) is responsible for the binding of discrete stimulus ... -
A systematic review and evaluation of response redirection as a treatment for challenging behavior in individuals with developmental disabilities.
(2013)Response redirection is widely used in clinical practice as a treatment for repetitive behavior or stereotypy in persons with developmental disabilities. However, to date the procedure has received comparatively little ... -
Teaching children with autism: a basic component skill of perspective-taking
(Wiley, 2010-09-26)Perspective-taking is an area of human functioning that is rarely studied by behavior analysts but likely entails a complex repertoire of verbal and relational behavior. Perspective-taking is generally acknowledged to be ... -
Temporal structure and inner psychophysics: A glimpse of equilibrium?
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2010-10)It has been suggested that the synchronization of spatially distributed neural assemblies at fast frequencies in the range 20 - 80 Hz (the ¿gamma¿ band) is instrumental for binding the separate feature-elements of a figure ... -
Temporal tolerance circumscribed
(Taylor & Francis, 2005-05)Chen's topological theory of perceptual organization includes the idea that equivalences in spatial organization and the organization of subjective experiences of time may be derived by means of common expression in terms ... -
Three years of intensive applied behavior analysis: A case study
(2008)A 2 years and 10 months old child receiving an early intensive teaching program using the Comprehensive Application of Behavior Analysis to Schooling (CABAS ® ) was taught using evidence-based teaching strategies and ... -
