Ciernia, Annie Vogel; Kramár, Enikö A.; Matheos, Dina P.; Havekes, Robbert; Hemstedt, Thekla J.; Magnan, Christophe N.; Sakata, Keith; Tran, Ashley; Azzawi, Soraya; Lopez, Alberto; Dang, Richard; Wang, Weisheng; Trieu, Brian; Tong, Joyce; Barrett, Ruth M.; Post, Rebecca J.; Baldi, Pierre; Abel, Ted; Lynch, Gary; Wood, Marcelo A. – Learning & Memory, 2017
Recent human exome-sequencing studies have implicated polymorphic Brg1-associated factor (BAF) complexes (mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes) in several intellectual disabilities and cognitive disorders, including autism. However, it remains unclear how mutations in BAF complexes result in impaired cognitive function. Post-mitotic…

Long, Fiachra – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2017
Peter Sloterdijk presented a reading of Heidegger's "Letter on Humanism" at a conference held at Elmau in 1999. Reinterpreting the meaning of humanism in the light of Heidegger's "Letter," Sloterdijk focused his presentation on the need to redefine education as a form of genetic "taming" and proposed what seemed to be…

Kerri P. Nowell; Robin Goin-Kochel; Samuel McQuillin; Sarah S. Mire – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Profiles of scores on measures of intellectual functioning may aid in understanding etiology and developing targeted intervention in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by providing details about specific phenotypes or subpopulations of ASD. Research investigating the relationship between ASD symptoms and intellectual functioning suggests that scores…

Evan L. Ardiel; Alex J. Yu; Andrew C. Giles; Catharine H. Rankin – npj Science of Learning, 2017
Habituation is a non-associative form of learning characterized by a decremented response to repeated stimulation. It is typically framed as a process of selective attention, allowing animals to ignore irrelevant stimuli in order to free up limited cognitive resources. However, habituation can also occur to threatening and toxic stimuli,…

Francis, Nigel; Morgan, Alwena; Holm, Sean; Davey, Ross; Bodger, Owen; Dudley, Ed – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
The flipped classroom is a relatively new active learning pedagogical intervention, gaining popularity as a blended learning methodology. The flipped classroom comprises two distinct parts, directed learning carried out at the student's own pace away from the classroom and an interactive, class-based activity encouraging problem-solving and…

Wasim, Muhammad; Khan, Haq Nawaz; Ayesha, Hina; Awan, Fazli Rabbi – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Objectives: Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are rare genetic disorders. Generally, IEMs are untreatable; however, some IEMs causing intellectual disability are potentially treatable if diagnosed earlier. In this study, levels of some clinically important biochemical parameters in intellectually disabled children suspected for IEMs were tested…

Davis, Alexis Poe; Bullard-Maxwell, Amanda; Stone-Hernandez, Regina; Chiarolanzio, Emily; Griffin, Harold – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2020
Stargardt Disease was identified by German ophthalmologist Karl Stargardt in 1901. It is the most commonly inherited macular dystrophy condition (Light et al., 2017), with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 1 in 8,000 to 1 in 10,000 (Cai et al., 2018). Stargardt Disease is the juvenile version of macular degeneration (Daly, 2014), with its early…

McDonald, Nicole M.; Hyde, Carly; Choi, April Boin; Gulsrud, Amanda C.; Kasari, Connie; Nelson, Charles A., III; Jeste, Shafali S. – Infants and Young Children, 2020
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic syndrome that confers risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. Delays in social communication and early cognitive abilities are observable as early as 9 months of age in children with TSC; however, there have been no studies of early…

Lee, Hyunok; Lee, Hyunju; Zeidler, Dana L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
In the socioscientific issues (SSI) classroom, students need to cross the border between the subcultures of science (i.e., school science vs. everyday science). Traditional school contexts tend to present science as positivistic knowledge and unshakable truth unaffected by sociocultural factors. In contrast, everyday science, including SSI, is…
