This study examined the relationship between trait anxiety and self-controlled feedback in learning the overhead volleyball serve. 48 adolescent girls were grouped into high or low trait anxiety and received either self-controlled or yoked feedback during practice. Those with high trait anxiety requested more feedback than low trait anxiety girls. Feedback was also requested more after accurate trials. While no differences were found between groups in acquisition or transfer, those with high anxiety used self-controlled feedback more than low anxiety girls.
This document summarizes a study that explored psychological resilience in athletes who had recovered from a sports injury. It reviewed previous literature on resilience in sports and injury recovery. The study conducted semi-structured interviews with 6 previously injured male athletes to identify themes around protective factors that facilitated their successful return from injury. The interviews were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis to explore key themes. Seven higher-order themes emerged as protective factors in the injury recovery process: being motivated, having previous adversity experience, having support systems, using faith, being confident, being positive, and being focused. These findings added to previous research on resilience in Olympic athletes by specifically examining resilience in relation to sports injury recovery.
This study measured the stability and degree of order in adults' predictions about which objects would sink faster or slower in water. 104 undergraduate students participated in a task with 360 prediction trials across pre-test, training, and post-test phases. The training phase provided feedback, while pre- and post-tests did not. Results showed that participants developed different mental structures for predicting faster vs. slower sinking depending on the instruction condition. Measures of degree of order and robustness tracked the emergence and fluctuation of these mental structures, demonstrating their usefulness for characterizing cognitive stability beyond traditional measures like accuracy.
Interpretation of Difficulty’s Impact on Shifting and Inhibition AbilityMo Zhang
This thesis explores whether components of executive functioning beyond working memory, namely shifting and inhibition, contribute to effects of interpreting difficulty as importance versus impossibility. In two studies, college students were randomly assigned to interpret difficulty as importance, impossibility, or receive no interpretation, and completed measures of shifting (Study 1) and inhibition (Study 2). The studies found no significant differences between conditions on the executive functioning measures, suggesting shifting and inhibition may not underlie interpretation of difficulty effects as hypothesized by working memory. The implications are discussed.
This document summarizes research on factors that influence secondary students' achievement, wellbeing and transition after secondary school. It describes a study that examined academic self-efficacy, self-esteem, wellbeing, test anxiety, and parental education level in 85 secondary students. Results showed academic self-efficacy and test anxiety predicted academic performance, while self-esteem predicted wellbeing. The discussion focuses on how self-concept and parental background relate to educational achievement and adjustment during transition after secondary school.
This article examines the preliminary psychometrics of a newly developed measure of the group therapy alliance called the Group Session Rating Scale (GSRS). The study tested 105 clients in substance abuse group therapy. Results provided support for the reliability and validity of the GSRS, showing it measured a single factor related to other measures of group process and predicted early change over the first four therapy sessions. The findings suggest the GSRS may be a useful ultra-brief tool for therapists to assess the group therapy alliance and identify clients at risk for poor outcomes.

The Shift from "Ordinary" to "Extraordinary" Experience in Psychodynaimc Supe...James Tobin
Presented by James Tobin, Ph.D. at the American Psychological Association annual conference in 2012, this paper argues that psychotherapists-in-training often rely on various forms of social etiquette when relating to their patients and conducting treatment. He argues that an important goal of supervision is to help the trainee cultivate a clinical attitude and environment which is "extraordinary" in nature, an interpersonal and intrapsychic space unencumbered by political and benevolent tendencies. Dr. Tobin describes the modeling component of supervision in which the supervisee is exposed to a new way of being in the atmosphere of the supervisor's mindfulness, independence, spontaneity, creativity, and subversiveness.
This study examined the effects of spatial skills training on female and minority students. The students were split into two groups - one that received four additional spatial training sessions and one that did not. Both groups improved on spatial tasks from pre-test to post-test, but the training group improved significantly more. The training group also reported greater confidence in their spatial abilities and belief that they could improve, while the comparison group's confidence decreased. Additionally, the training group experienced less anxiety about spatial tasks after training. The results suggest that providing spatial skills training can help improve performance, increase self-efficacy, and reduce anxiety related to STEM fields for women and minorities.

The document also reviews limited research on practices to address procrastination in the classroom, finding that brief instructor interventions and less flexible deadlines may help reduce procrastination. Overall, the document provides an overview of the various theoretical perspectives and empirical findings regarding the causes and consequences of academic procrastination.
Does plyometric training improve vertical jump height a meta‐analytical reviewstrengthcoach71
This meta-analysis reviewed the effects of plyometric training on vertical jump height based on 26 studies. It found that plyometric training provided statistically significant improvements in vertical jump height for squat jumps (4.7% increase), countermovement jumps (8.7% increase), countermovement jumps with arm swing (7.5% increase), and drop jumps (4.7% increase). Effect sizes ranged from moderate (0.44) for squat jumps to large (0.88) for countermovement jumps. Plyometric training can thus effectively enhance vertical jump performance in healthy individuals.
Disruption to learning during the acquisition phase was investigated. Participants were trained on an amplitude modulation detection task that was interleaved with a secondary task that either differed in the relevant dimension (modulation frequency) or irrelevant dimension (carrier frequency). Learning was observed when the secondary task varied the irrelevant dimension but not the relevant dimension, suggesting acquisition requires attending to the relevant feature and variation in this feature prevents consolidation. These results inform the design of multi-task training programs to optimize learning.
The Shift from "Ordinary" to "Extraordinary" Experience in Psychodynamic Supe...James Tobin, Ph.D.
In this paper, presented to Division 39 (Psychoanalysis) at the 2012 APA Conference in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Tobin argues that the trainee and novice clinician may create a therapeutic setting in which the therapist manifests an attitude and demeanor drawn largely from standards forms of interpersonal interaction and the mores constituting typical social discourse. Clinical supervision may also reflect an investment in restricted forms of experience, thus leading to “sterile supervision” characterized by defensive processes and false manifestations. Dr. Tobin argues that the clinical situation is an "extraordinary" social experience that sacrifices most forms of standard social discourse in order to create an open space in which therapist and patient are unhindered by that which normally is. Supervision, therefore, should be focused on developing in the supervisee a therapeutic persona mobilized by the trainee's experience of new freedoms encountered in supervision.

The Impact of Massed versus Spaced Instruction on Learning of Procedural Skil...Farooq Khan
Third-year medical students were randomized to either massed (300 minutes continuous) or spaced (75 minutes per session over 4 weeks) instruction on pediatric resuscitation procedures. Students in the spaced group performed intraosseous insertion faster and were more likely to describe landmarks and verify placement. For bag-valve-mask ventilation, the spaced group was more likely to turn on oxygen and adhere to ventilation rates. There were no significant differences for chest compressions. Spaced practice may better support retention of critical resuscitation skills compared to massed instruction.
This document is a thesis presented by Sarah Kenehan to fulfill requirements for a BA Honours degree in psychology from Maynooth University. The thesis explores the effect of rule order manipulation on implicit self-esteem as measured by the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP). Forty-one undergraduate students participated in the study and were split into two groups where the order of rules presented in the IRAP was varied. Preliminary results showed some differences between groups, especially for self-positive and other-positive trial types, but these differences were not statistically significant. The findings suggest that implicit responding on the IRAP may be influenced by rule order effects.
This study aimed to describe the functional performance of 5-year-old children with Down syndrome. The researchers assessed 43 children with Down syndrome in Norway using the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory. They found that the children showed a wide range of functional abilities. Self-care skills requiring fine motor skills were most delayed. Basic mobility skills were less affected. Parents were most concerned about language skills and bladder/bowel control as children approached school age. The results provide baseline information on typical functional levels in 5-year-olds with Down syndrome but caution is needed in generalizing to individuals due to variability.
This systematic review evaluated the efficacy of various interventions for children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) based on current research. The review found that task-oriented, functional interventions aimed at improving skills for daily living were most effective. Traditional physical therapy and cognitive approaches like CO-OP were also beneficial. Process-oriented interventions and perceptual-motor training were not recommended. The review identified a need for more rigorous study designs and consistent outcome measures to better understand best practices for treating DCD.
1) The study found that prefrontal-dependent electrophysiological measures of attention were reduced in low socioeconomic status (LSES) children compared to high SES (HSES) children. This pattern is similar to that observed in patients with lateral prefrontal cortex damage.
2) Specifically, the early extrastriate P1 and N1 components elicited by standard stimuli, as well as the novelty N2 component, were reduced in amplitude in LSES children relative to HSES children.
3) In contrast, the P3b component elicited by target stimuli did not differ between groups, consistent with it being dependent on temporal-parietal rather than prefrontal regions.
This study examined the relationship between motor skills and adaptive behavior skills in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The researchers conducted a multiple regression analysis of 233 children aged 14-49 months with ASD, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), or developmental delays. The analysis found that fine motor skills significantly predicted adaptive behavior skills in all domains, while gross motor skills predicted daily living skills. Children with weaker motor skills displayed greater deficits in adaptive behaviors. The study concludes that fine and gross motor skills are significantly related to adaptive behavior skills in early childhood ASD.

Stenting vs medical management in intracranial stenosisPrashant Makhija
Intracranial arterial stenosis causes a significant number of strokes worldwide. While medical management alone has high recurrent stroke risks, several studies show success with intracranial stenting. However, the SAMMPRIS trial found higher 30-day stroke/death rates for stenting versus medical management alone. Critics argue SAMMPRIS design flaws like enrolling small vessels and long lesions made stenting higher risk. Additionally, ideal medical management in SAMMPRIS may be difficult to replicate in reality. Overall stenting remains valuable for patients not controlled on medical therapy alone, though SAMMPRIS supports modifying but not abandoning the approach.

The reality of care journal of social policy 2009Sir Martin Narey
The studies reviewed in a 2009 journal article consistently found that children entering public care tended to have serious problems, but that their welfare generally improved over time. This finding aligns with international literature and suggests that attempts to reduce public care may put more children at risk of serious harm.

The study explored the incidence of athlete burnout among youth, high school, and college athletes and examined the associations between competitive trait anxiety, personal control, and athlete burnout. A sample of 153 athletes completed questionnaires measuring burnout, anxiety, and perceived control. Results showed a low overall incidence of burnout. A positive relationship was found between burnout and anxiety, and a negative relationship between burnout and perceived control. Younger athletes reported lower burnout than older athletes, and women reported higher burnout than men.
This study examined relationships between subjective and biological stress responses in youth undergoing MRI scans and a social stress test. The study found:
1) Children's cortisol levels during MRI were correlated with their cortisol levels in response to a social stress test, suggesting consistent individual stress responses.
2) Children's self-reported anxiety during MRI was correlated with their cortisol response during MRI, indicating they could accurately report their biological stress.
3) Self-report measures of inhibition and distress were correlated with measures of anxiety in youth.

USE OF A STRUCTURED DESCRIPTIVE ASSESSMENT
METHODOLOGY TO IDENTIFY VARIABLES
AFFECTING PROBLEM BEHAVIOR
CYNTHIA M. ANDERSON AND ETHAN S. LONG
WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY
This study evaluated a variation of functional assessment methodology, the structured
descriptive assessment (SDA). The SDA is conducted in an individual’s natural environ-
ment and involves systematically manipulating antecedent variables while leaving conse-
quences free to vary. Results were evaluated by comparing the results of an SDA with
results obtained from an analogue functional analysis with 4 children who exhibited
problem behavior. For 3 of 4 participants, the results of the two assessments suggested
similar hypotheses about variables maintaining problem behavior. Interventions based on
the results of the SDA were implemented for 3 children and resulted in significant
reductions in rates of problem behavior.
DESCRIPTORS: functional assessment, functional analysis, intervention, problem
behavior
Research has demonstrated the utility of
the analogue functional analysis methodol-
ogy developed by Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bau-
man, and Richman (1982/1994) for identi-
fying sources of reinforcement that maintain
aberrant behavior. This methodology sys-
tematically assesses situations hypothesized
to be analogueous to those in the natural
environment by directly manipulating pu-
tative antecedents and consequences for
problem behavior. The major advantage of
this methodology compared to other meth-
ods of functional assessment is that it allows
greater control over the environment, result-
ing in a more direct inference of functional
relations.
In contrast to the analogue functional
analysis, descriptive assessments involve di-
rect observation of behavior and events in
the individual’s natural environment and in-

USE OF A STRUCTURED DESCRIPTIVE ASSESSMENT
METHODOLOGY TO IDENTIFY VARIABLES
AFFECTING PROBLEM BEHAVIOR
CYNTHIA M. ANDERSON AND ETHAN S. LONG
WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY
This study evaluated a variation of functional assessment methodology, the structured
descriptive assessment (SDA). The SDA is conducted in an individual’s natural environ-
ment and involves systematically manipulating antecedent variables while leaving conse-
quences free to vary. Results were evaluated by comparing the results of an SDA with
results obtained from an analogue functional analysis with 4 children who exhibited
problem behavior. For 3 of 4 participants, the results of the two assessments suggested
similar hypotheses about variables maintaining problem behavior. Interventions based on
the results of the SDA were implemented for 3 children and resulted in significant
reductions in rates of problem behavior.
DESCRIPTORS: functional assessment, functional analysis, intervention, problem
behavior
Research has demonstrated the utility of
the analogue functional analysis methodol-
ogy developed by Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bau-
man, and Richman (1982/1994) for identi-
fying sources of reinforcement that maintain
aberrant behavior. This methodology sys-
tematically assesses situations hypothesized
to be analogueous to those in the natural
environment by directly manipulating pu-
tative antecedents and consequences for
problem behavior. The major advantage of
this methodology compared to other meth-
ods of functional assessment is that it allows
greater control over the environment, result-
ing in a more direct inference of functional
relations.
In contrast to the analogue functional
analysis, descriptive assessments involve di-
rect observation of behavior and events in
the individual’s natural environment and in-

This systematic review analyzed 20 studies that examined the relationship between physical activity and cognition in adolescents. The studies used a variety of designs, including cross-sectional, longitudinal, and interventional studies, with sample sizes ranging from 48 to over 75,000 participants. The results showed that 50% of studies found a positive association between physical activity and academic performance, while 23% found a positive association with cognitive performance. Some studies also indicated that vigorous physical activity was linked to cognitive performance, and that general physical activity was related to academic performance, particularly in girls. Psychological factors like self-esteem and depression may help explain the relationship between physical activity and academic performance. More research is still needed to clarify the roles of sex, activity intensity,
Educational Research 102: Selecting the Best Study Design for your Research Q...fnuthalapaty
This document discusses selecting the appropriate study design for an educational research question. It begins by describing different types of research including empirical vs non-empirical and basic vs applied research. It then covers quantitative research designs like experimental, quasi-experimental, causal-comparative and correlational studies. Key aspects of these designs like control groups, randomization, pre-post testing are explained. Threats to internal and external validity and steps in the research process are also summarized. The document aims to help researchers understand how to match their research question to the best fitting study design.
This document is a thesis submitted by Elizabeth Jenkins to Howard University examining the effect of confidence in past performance on future performance. It provides background on underrepresentation of minorities in STEM fields and research showing stereotype threat and validation can negatively impact performance. The study hypothesized that high confidence in strong past performance would predict better future performance, while high confidence in poor past performance would predict worse future performance. 147 Black undergraduate students completed 2 math tests, evaluating their first performance and confidence. Results found high confidence in strong performance predicted better second test scores, while high confidence in poor performance predicted worse scores, supporting the hypothesis.
The document discusses reward processing and decision making in the brain. It describes how dopamine neurons encode reward prediction errors and transmit information about rewards. It also discusses three types of values - Pavlovian values encoded in the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex, goal values encoded in the dorsomedial striatum that guide goal-directed actions, and habit values encoded in the dorsolateral striatum that drive habitual behaviors independent of goals or values. The actor-critic model proposes separate neural systems for learning state values (critic) and selecting actions (actor).
This study investigated the relationship between pupillary responses on a visual backward masking task and scores on the SAT, a measure of general cognitive ability. In the backward masking task, participants had to identify which of two lines was longer after it was briefly presented and then masked by overlying lines. Pupillary responses were analyzed to isolate components reflecting attention to the target line versus the mask. The researchers hypothesized that higher SAT scores would correlate with better target identification and less pupillary response to the irrelevant mask. They found that a late pupillary response component reflecting attention to the mask accounted for unique variance in SAT scores beyond other factors, supporting the idea that more cognitively able individuals process information more efficiently.
The document reviews studies that examined the effects of progressive resistance training (PRT) on gait parameters in children with cerebral palsy, finding that while PRT improved muscle strength and increased gait velocity slightly compared to control groups, more research is needed to determine how to best address muscle weaknesses and compensation patterns through resistance training to maximize its effects on gait.
Comparing the latent structure of the Mini-Mental State Examination among you...Eugenia Savvidou
Aim: The aim of the study was the comparison of the cognitive functioning between young children and older adults through the investigation of the latent structure qualitative changes in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) from age to age, using Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) and testing a conventional two-factor model and/or a unidimensional model of MMSE. Method: The sample consisted of 42 kindergarten and 56 elementary school students (age range: 5-8 years) and 118 new-old adults and 27 old-old adults (age range: 61-88 years) whose cognitive functioning was examined in MMSE. Results: Regarding the new-old adults group, CFA indicated that individual variability across MMSE measured variables (total scores for each of the five subsets) can be modeled by a two-factor model. The patterns of two-factor and one-factor MMSE structure were not verified for the groups of kindergarten students, elementary school students, and old-old adults. Conclusion: The results support the hypothesis of “retrogenesis”.
1) The document reviews research on the effects of ability grouping in physical education (PE) classes on students' attitudes and participation.
2) A study found that ability grouping significantly improved student behavior but did not significantly change student attitudes towards PE.
3) The author concludes that ability grouping within PE classes can be beneficial where appropriate and further research on the role of gender is warranted.

Successful performance and cardiovascular markers of challenge and threat: A ...Maciej Behnke
Cardiovascular responses to challenge and threat have been used extensively in psychophysiological research. In this meta-analysis, we scrutinized the body of evidence for the role of challenge and threat hemodynamic responses in predicting positive behavioral outcomes, i.e., performance quality. We accounted for cardiac output (CO), total peripheral resistance (TPR), and Challenge-Threat Index (CTI). With 17 articles covering 19 studies (total N = 1045), we observed that the literature might have been biased towards positive results. After we excluded outlying studies and compensated for missing null-effect studies, we found that the mean standardized coefficient, corrected with the trim-and-fill method, was r = .14 for CO, r = -.13 for TPR, and r = .10 for CTI. This indicated relatively small but stable effects of cardiovascular responses in the facilitation of successful performance. Moderator analyses indicated that TPR and CTI produced stronger effects in non-experimental studies. We also found that effects were not moderated by levels of engagement (indexed by heart rate and pre-ejection period), task domain (cognitive vs. behavioral) and measurement method. In summary, our results supported the general validity of the biopsychosocial model in the prediction of behavioral outcomes. However, they also indicated limitations of the empirical evidence and a significant bias in the literature.
1) Previous research suggests learning in probabilistic category tasks is intact in amnesia, implying separate implicit and explicit memory systems. However, the evidence is weak as most studies only analyzed early performance and neglected the learning process.
2) This study analyzes the learning process through trial-by-trial modeling and examines both implicit response strategies and explicit knowledge of the task structure.
3) The goals are to provide a more sensitive analysis of differences between amnesic and normal participants, and to test predictions of multiple memory system accounts versus single system accounts.
The Importance Of A Family Intervention For Heart Failure...Paula Smith
The document discusses the importance of family interventions for heart failure patients. It notes that family influence could be an extraneous variable that needs to be controlled through a family intervention. While there are few family intervention studies for heart failure currently, guidelines promote including family in patient education. Family interventions have been shown to improve outcomes and lower hospital readmissions.
This document summarizes research on a new 2x2 model of time-related academic behavior that considers both procrastination and timely engagement, and the underlying motivation for each. Previous research found the model fit the data better than alternatives and correlated with measures as expected. A study tested whether behavior type was stable or changed based on context by measuring 453 students twice across a semester. Cluster analysis identified four behavior types. 50% of students changed clusters between semesters, indicating behavior type is state-like rather than a trait. Motivational variables were then examined to see if they could predict the instability in behavior type across time.
Physically Active Play and Cognition An Academic Matter?videosplay360
The authors discuss the growing evidence that strenuous physical activity is not only healthy for students but improves their academic performance. Based on such re- search, they argue that schools in the United States need to stop eliminating physical- education programs under the current political pressures to emphasize academics and instead to reform traditional physical education. Modern physical education should move away from its competitive-sports approach to one that employs a wide range of play involving strenuous physical activity for every student.
The document summarizes research on the influences of stress appraisals and coping on individual well-being and academic performance. It discusses transactional models of stress and different sources and types of stress appraisals, including stress as a hassle versus an uplift. The study examined how sources of stress, coping resources, and outcomes like psychological distress, anxiety levels, and academic performance are related based on questionnaires completed by 118 first-year undergraduate students. Results found relationships between stress appraisals, coping strategies, and outcomes, with implications for improving student well-being and performance through stress management training.
An Experimental Study On Academic Procrastination Effects Of Weekly HomeworkJeff Nelson
This study examined the effects of weekly homework assignments, reflective writings, and presentations on students' academic procrastination and self-regulation. 114 undergraduate students completed procrastination and self-control scales before and after the semester. While the strategies did not significantly impact procrastination levels, students' self-regulation scores improved from pre- to post-test, suggesting the tasks helped develop their self-regulatory behaviors. The results provide additional evidence that weaknesses in self-regulation are associated with higher academic procrastination.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
