Communication strategies in second language teacher talk with special reference to Iranian teachers of English
… focus of this study is the use of communication strategies in teacher talk in ESL/EFL classrooms. Communication strategies consist of adjustments made by speakers to the formulation of their talk in order to facilitate communication, and these are clearly a potentially important aspect of teacher …

Drawing Conclusions about Aphasia: An Examination of the Relationship between Word Retrieval, Drawing, and Semantics
… typically focuses on either restorative or compensatory strategies. In aphasia therapy, clinicians have predominately used drawing as a compensatory strategy. Emerging evidence suggests that drawing may also have restorative effects on word retrieval impairments by providing an alternate …

Face Processing Strategies in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… thesis was to investigate the face processing strategies of children with high-functioning autism. Based on the assumptions that face processing relies on holistic, configural and featural information processing of faces, and on previous findings that individuals with autism show atypicalities …

Individual differences in human-computer interaction
… speed but not accuracy; (iv) evidence of compensatory strategies being employed by older subjects; (v) evidence of performance strategy differences which disadvantaged high spatial subjects in conditions of low spatial information content; (vi) interactive effects of associative memory, …

Elucidating psychological and neural mechanisms associated with risk for anxiety and depression
… individuals high in trait NA are able to recruit compensatory strategies, particularly in rewarding contexts. In addition, trait NA interacts with deficits in executive function, specifically updating and shifting, to predict depressive symptoms. Present results may lead to the identification of …

Nurses’ Personal and Professional Experiences of Dyslexia in Lifelong Learning: a Narrative Approach
… findings further identified how nurses developed compensatory strategies both personally and in practice seeking to overcome negative learning experiences. Transitions were particularly problematic, either between academic levels or practice areas. Disclosure of dyslexia was dependent on …

Multimodal Approaches to Literacy and Teaching English as a Foreign Language at the University Level
… someone who was illiterate and had developed compensatory strategies, which are discussed in Chapters 3 and 4. The present study also includes a review of literature about feminist rhetorical theory as it applies to the literacy narratives of women and the material conditions of their lives. …

Individual plantar flexor compensation during walking with a unilateral passive dynamic ankle-foot orthosis : a simulation study
… GAS weakness may benefit less. To explore other compensatory strategies, a post-hoc analysis where all muscles were allowed to compensate revealed other relationships between PD-AFO stiffness and muscle activity. In addition to the plantar flexors, the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, tibialis …

Imaging through optical multimode fiber: towards ultra-thin endoscopy
… to innovate powerful computational methods as compensatory strategies that enable high fidelity imaging and sensing through the fiber: We developed numerical simulation toolboxes and experimental measurement systems to characterize bi-directional light transport through MMF; By modeling the …

Head-Impact-Related Outcomes by Position in Retired NFL Football Players
… ability to come up at utilize organizational and compensatory strategies in order to create further structure can mediate and impact their performance in such tasks. Regarding language abilities, it can be hypothesized that non-timed, non-memory-based language tasks, such as the WAIS-IV …

The effect of unilateral cam femoroacetabular impingement on the three-dimensional kinematics of the pelvis and hip and the kinetics of the hip
… level of variability for sitting and standing strategies was also compared between the two groups using F-tests. For maximal dynamic hip mobility, the FAI group had a decreased flexed internal rotation, external rotation and total transverse ROM, as well as decreased hip abduction and total …

Probabilistic Musculoskeletal Simulation Methods to Address Intersegmental Dependencies of the Knee, Hip, and Spine
… total joint replacement, where pathology and compensatory strategies develop during multi-joint interactions. Additionally, probabilistic methods are well suited to address knee, hip, and spine regional interdependence by using input distributions to quantify the impact of variability on the …

HD-tDCS over Frontal Cortex and Neuropsychological Functioning in Cognitively Impaired Older Adults
… can maintain a level of independence with use of compensatory strategies. MCI and ACS commonly have an amnestic presentation (inability to learn and recall new information), though additional problems in executive functions, language, and/or visuospatial skills are typically present at the time of …

An Analysis of Functional Differences in Implicit Learning
… studies used procedures that encouraged explicit strategies, which disadvantaged the ASC groups who had not been matched for IQ. A further analysis supported that interpretation: TD and ASC groups who were not matched for IQ exhibited differences on an explicit learning task, but not on the …
