Research suggests that individuals with higher levels of self-efficacy and internal locus of control are more likely to engage in job search activities and persist for longer periods of time when faced with repeated failure when compared to individua

In this paper, the details of processing algorithms used in a training program with language learning-impaired children (LLIs) are described. The training program utilized computer games, speech/language training exercises, books-on-tape and educatio

Background and Purpose. Job-related repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) are increasing, and current treatment strategies often fail to return injured people to work. This study documented the neural consequences of using two different movement strategi

This study was undertaken to document plastic changes in the functional topography of primary motor cortex (M1) that are generated in motor skill learning in the normal, intact primate. Intracortical microstimulation mapping techniques were used to d

A speech processing algorithm was developed to create more salient versions of the rapidly changing elements in the acoustic waveform of speech that have been shown to be deficiently processed by language-learning impaired (LLI) children. LLI childre

THE primate somatosensory cortex, which processes tactile stimuli, contains a topographic representation of the signals it receives, but the way in which such maps are maintained is poorly understood. Previous studies of cortical plasticity1–20 ind

Tactile experiences remodel the central nervous system representations of the body surface. The results of assessments of ten peripheral manipulations that reveal different aspects of representational plasticity are reviewed: (1) chronic peripheral d

We have investigated the contribution of the neocortical vibrissal representation within the posterior medial barrel subfield (PMBSF) to the high performance levels obtained by rats in a complex roughness discrimination task mediated by vibrissal inp

A psychophysical apparatus and procedure that can be used to define the performance and estimate the thresholds of frequency discrimination in adult primates is described. This protocol has been used to train adult owl monkeys to discriminate differe
