de Carvalho, Claudio A. F.; And Others – Journal of Medical Education, 1977
A study using 60 first-year medical students in the Santo Amaro Faculty of Medicine, San Paulo, Brazil, found that self-instructional methods such as guided self-instruction or discussion groups are not superior to conventional classes. Self-instruction does have the advantages of low cost and easy applicability. (LBH)

Shaughnessy, Michael F.; Jausovec, Norbert; Lehtonen, Kimmo – Gifted Education International, 1997
Discusses issues in gifted education in the context of the coming turn of the century. These include: (1) mentoring (with emphasis on problem solving and cooperation between mentor and child); (2) results of ongoing brain research comparing gifted and regular students; and (3) the increasing importance of technology and computers in education of…

Tager-Flusberg, Helen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1996
This paper discusses language and communication deficits observed in autism within the framework of the "theory of mind" hypothesis, which posits that autistic individuals have profound difficulty interpreting a person's actions within a mentalistic framework. Placing language and communicative deficits within a theory of mind framework…

Voeller, Kytja K. S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1996
This paper explores the neural systems underlying social behaviors as they pertain to autism. It discusses major channels for transmission of social-emotional information, neural pathways subserving social behaviors, and social cognition in autism. A hypothesis of autism based on deviant development of the widely distributed neural system…

Dobbs, Susan – Roeper Review, 1989
The article reviews recent research in neurobiology. It discusses the confusion surrounding hemisphericity research and the dangers of its literal translation into classroom practice, urging that focus be more appropriately shifted to the curriculum. (Author/DB)

Sejnowski, Terrence J.; And Others – Science, 1988
Describes the use of brain models to connect the microscopic level accessible by molecular and cellular techniques with the systems level accessible by the study of behavior. Discusses classes of brain models, and specific examples of such models. Evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of using brain modelling to understand human brain function.…

Miezejeski, Charles M.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1994
Brainstem auditory evoked response latencies were studied in 80 males (13 with Down's syndrome). Latencies for waves P3 and P5 were shorter for Down's syndrome subjects, who also showed a different pattern of left versus right ear responses. Results suggest decreased lateralization and receptive and expressive language ability among people with…

Elia, M.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1995
Clinical and neurophysiological findings for 28 patients (mean age 15 years) with mental retardation, autism, and epilepsy were described, including classification of seizure type and epileptic syndrome, etiology, severity of autism and epilepsy, electroencephalography findings, and neuroimaging findings. No particular epileptic syndrome…

Rutter, Michael; Schopler, Eric – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1992
This essay notes the complexities inherent in classifying pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), especially when a single classification scheme is to be used for clinical, research, and administrative purposes. The paper considers principles of classification, symptomatology, the neuropsychiatric interface, the value of a multiaxial approach,…

Pellegrino, Ann S. – Gifted Child Today (GCT), 1992
Methods used to teach gifted junior high school students about the brain are described, focusing on aiming high, using real experiments, and considering ethical issues. Teaching average rather than gifted students requires different means to attain instructional goals and calls for challenging students but not overwhelming them. (JDD)

McDougle, Christopher J.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1990
Psychological, neuroanatomical, and neurochemical parallels are drawn between autistic disorder (AD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) based on a case report of fluvoxamine treatment.The implications of this case of coincident AD and OCD are discussed with respect to nosology, pathophysiology, and treatment.

Cardinal, Donald N.; And Others – Intervention in School and Clinic, 1993
This article translates research from the fields of optometry, ophthalmology, neurology, and medicine on the efficacy of tinted lenses for students with reading disabilities into understandable information for lay people. The paper concludes that the treatment does not significantly improve reading, although some reports indicate improvement in a…

Preen, Bryan S.; Townsend, Diana O. – Reading and Writing Quarterly: Overcoming Learning Difficulties, 1993
Suggests that "Johnny can't read" because of high testosterone levels in fetal development and subsequent poor brain lateralization. Presents instructional strategies based on the principle of factorized teaching for each of three discrete lateralization categories. Notes that the use of factorized teaching appears to have improved diagnostic and…

Hartman, Carol R.; Burgess, Ann W. – Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, 1993
This paper presents a neuropsychosocial model of information processing to explain a victimization experience, specifically child sexual abuse. It surveys the relation of sensation, perception, and cognition as a systematic way to provide a framework for studying human behavior and describing human response to traumatic events. (Author/JDD)

Lockman, Jeffrey J.; Thelen, Esther – Child Development, 1993
Advances in the neurosciences, biomechanics, and behavior sciences, along with attempts to integrate theories and findings across these disciplines, have led to a renewed interest in the study of motor development. Considers the contributions that have led to the reinvigoration of this field of study and its new interdisciplinary outlook. (MDM)
