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 ... -
Time for complete transparency about conflicts of interest in public health nutrition research [version 2; referees: 2 approved]
(F1000Research, 2019-03-04)We are a group of researchers and academics with decades of experience in the protection and promotion of public health. We are writing to raise our concerns about how conflicts of interest are reported in public health ... -
Toileting problems in children and adolescents with parent-reported diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder
(Springer, 2018-03-22)The current study investigated toileting problems in one hundred and twenty-seven children and adolescents with parent-reported diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder. Toileting refers to the accomplishment of various ... -
Transition program from school to employment in youths with intellectual disability: Evaluation of the Irish pilot study E-IDEAS
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-06-29)Aim: The purpose of this pilot was to evaluate the effectiveness of the E-IDEAS curriculum, specifically designed for workplace inclusion of youths with intellectual disabilities (ID) and aimed to transfer social, ... -
Transparent and reproducible pain research: a critical review
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins for International Association for the Study of Pain, 2018-09-01)Recently, the degree to which scientific publications provide a reliable source of information has come under intense scrutiny. Reports suggest that a substantial amount of published literature is likely to be biased,28 ... -
Using a Time Timer(TM) to increase appropriate waiting behavior in a child with developmental disabilities.
(Elsevier, 2009)This study aimed to examine the use of a predictive stimulus (Time TimerTM) and delayed reinforcement to increase appropriate waiting behavior in a child with developmental disabilities and problem behavior maintained by ... -
Using mixed methods to assess fidelity of delivery and its influencing factors in a complex self-management intervention for people with osteoarthritis and low back pain
(Toomey, Elaine, Matthews, James, & Hurley, Deirdre A. (2017). Using mixed methods to assess fidelity of delivery and its influencing factors in a complex self-management intervention for people with osteoarthritis and low back pain. BMJ Open, 7(8). doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2016-015452, 2017-08-04)Abstract Objectives and design Despite an increasing awareness of the importance of fidelity of delivery within complex behaviour change interventions, it is often poorly assessed. This mixed methods study aimed to establish ... -
Visual field and task influence illusory figure responses
(Wiley, 2008-11)In normal viewing conditions, many objects are often hidden or occluded by others, therefore restricting the information that enters the eye. One ability that the human visual system has developed to compensate for this ... -
The visual hallucinatory response to flickering polychromatic light.
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2004)Our understanding of human visual perception generally rests on the assumption that conscious visual states represent, in some qualitative fashion, a complex interaction between spatially structured variations in the ambient ... -
Visual perception in a snapshot
(Springer, 2006-04-14)To study visual perception in its sub-second scale of time continues to be timely: we have more unsolved puzzles than bits of a firm undisputable knowledge about how our perceptions are created in a snapshot of time. ...
