Urban-Ciecko, Joanna; Wen, Jing A.; Parekh, Puja K.; Barth, Alison L. – Learning & Memory, 2015
Sensory experience can selectively alter excitatory synaptic strength at neocortical synapses. The rapid increase in synaptic strength induced by selective whisker stimulation (single-row experience/SRE, where all but one row of whiskers has been removed from the mouse face) is due, at least in part, to the trafficking of AMPA receptors (AMPARs)…

Fatehi, Kamal – Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, 2015
Many people enjoy watching magicians perform magic acts and seemingly do the impossible. In many of these acts, magicians use sleight of hand, trickery, and special tools. There are, however, other occasions in which audience perceptions are used to make them see things differently. This exploits people's tendencies to see things based on their…

Wigham, Sarah; Rodgers, Jacqui; South, Mikle; McConachie, Helen; Freeston, Mark – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
Sensory processing abnormalities, anxiety and restricted and repetitive behaviours (RRBs) frequently co-occur in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Though the relationship between these phenomena is not well understood, emerging evidence indicates intolerance of uncertainty (IU) may play an important role. This study aimed to determine pathways…

Sarrett, Jennifer C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This article builds on the growing body of research on higher education for autistic students by soliciting input from autistic adults on their higher education experiences and suggestions on making these experiences more "autism-friendly." Sixty-six individuals participated in a national exploratory survey and thirty-one participated in…

Millei, Zsuzsa – Journal of Pedagogy, 2018
Global flows and their geopolitical power relations powerfully shape the environments in which children lead their everyday lives. Children's images, imaginations and ideas of distant places are part of these global flows and the everyday activities children perform in preschool. Research explores how through curricula young children are moulded…

Carrera, Elena – Hispania, 2014
This article examines the portrayal of cognitive experience in the published version of Miguel de Cervantes's short story "El celoso extremeño" (1613), drawing both on recent studies of empathy and current debates about the inseparability of cognition and emotion. It considers how cognitive experience is marked by particular bodily…

Weiner, Brad; Grenier, Michelle – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2020
This article presents information on the impact of hyper or hypo-sensory responses and specific strategies that can balance the systems. We examine the five sensory systems (tactile, auditory, visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular), common behaviors associated with each system, and recommend instructional strategies designed to support student…

Stagg, Bethan C. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2020
Background: Children's interest in science is known to decline around the upper primary age, and botanical topics are unpopular with students. Drama in education has the potential to increase motivation and interest in school science. Purpose: The study examined the impact of immersive drama on knowledge about biological classification and…

Howe, Fiona E.; Stagg, Steven D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Sensory processing difficulties are consistently reported amongst individuals with an autistic spectrum condition (ASC); these have a significant impact on daily functioning. Evidence in this area comes from observer reports and first-hand accounts; both have limitations. The current study used the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP; Brown and…

Neil, Louise; Olsson, Nora Choque; Pellicano, Elizabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Guided by a recent theory that proposes fundamental differences in how autistic individuals deal with uncertainty, we investigated the extent to which the cognitive construct "intolerance of uncertainty" and anxiety were related to parental reports of sensory sensitivities in 64 autistic and 85 typically developing children aged…

de Freitas, Elizabeth – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2016
This paper contributes to research on the material dimensions of teaching and learning mathematics, arguing that perception is not sensory integration or synthesis of multi-modal information, but rather a speculative investment in specific material encounters. This approach entails sociopolitical consequences for how we work with dis/ability in…

Uljarevic, Mirko; Carrington, Sarah; Leekam, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
This study examined the relations between anxiety and individual characteristics of sensory sensitivity (SS) and intolerance of uncertainty (IU) in mothers of children with ASD. The mothers of 50 children completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Highly Sensitive Person Scale and the IU Scale. Anxiety was associated with both SS and…

Remmelink, Esther; Smit, August B.; Verhage, Matthijs; Loos, Maarten – Learning & Memory, 2016
Many neurological and psychiatric disorders are characterized by deficits in cognitive flexibility. Modeling cognitive flexibility in mice enables the investigation of mechanisms underlying these deficits. The majority of currently available behavioral tests targeting this cognitive domain are reversal learning tasks that require scheduled food…
