Language-disordered children did not differ from normal children in accuracy of judgment or require more training trials, but they did respond more slowly. (Author/CL)

Our research on learning enhancement has been focusing on the consequences for learning and forgetting of some of the more obvious and concrete choices that arise in instruction, including: How does spacing of practice affect retention of information over significant retention intervals (up to two years)? Do spacing effects generalize beyond…

Russell, James; Jarrold, Christopher; Hood, Bruce – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1999
Two studies examined executive functions in children with autism. Results indicated that subjects performed like normally developing children when either no arbitrary and novel rules were involved or the output was verbal. Results support the hypothesis that these children are challenged by executive tasks because they are unlikely to encode rules…

Lee, Grace; Disterhoft, John F.; Kuo, Amy G. – Learning & Memory, 2006
A common cellular alteration, reduced post-burst afterhyperpolarization (AHP) in CA1 neurons, is associated with acquisition of the hippocampus-dependent tasks trace eyeblink conditioning and the Morris water maze. As a similar increase in excitability is correlated with these two learning paradigms, we sought to determine the interactive…

This program suggests that art exercises activate the imagination and provide nonverbal methods of practice. (Author/BL)
