Abstract:
Utilizing ECLS-K:2011 data, this study compares adopted and biological children to account for the role of heritable characteristics in explaining the relationship between family environments and children's cognitive skills. I find that cognitive skills do not differ across adopted and biological children after adjusting for the systematic differences between them. I also find that the relationship between family environment and children's cognitive skills does not differ across adopted and biological children. Taken together, these results suggest that the relationship between family environm

Abstract:
The present thesis sought to investigate the precise relationship between the cognitive and psychophysiological profiles of developing readers, of established readers and of failed readers. Phonological processing tasks and visuospatial tasks were used to assess relevant auditory and visual cognitive skills; handedness and EEG measures were used to provide indices of cortical organisation and activation. A 21/2 year longitudinal investigation of some 150 pre-readers provided evidence of mutually facilitative relationships between and within specific types of phonological skill and phonological

Abstract:
The coherence of the concept of mental representations is increasingly in question, and hence accounts of expertise based on mental representation. I argue that such mental representational accounts are, at best, inadequate, and propose that turning to ecological psychology and affordance could provide the answer. However, there is no fully agreed understanding of affordance and so the thesis undertakes three main interrelated tasks: First, I review James J. Gibson's writings on affordance before setting out a revised account of affordance using Jacques Derrida's discussion of differance. Diff

Abstract:
The introduction of chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear personal protective equipment (CBRN-PPE) across the National Health Service (NHS), in 2007, represented an increase in the capacity to treat patients following a CBRN incident. However, little was known on what impact the NHS CBRN-PPE would have on skill performance. To date a number of studies have evaluated various skills performed whilst wearing a range of CBRN-PPE, none of which resembles the NHS CBRN-PPE.

Each island was host to between one and three Salmonella serovars that were not found on any other islands in this study.

Coexistence can only occur if the species’ niches are differentiated such that interspecific competition is minimised, or eliminated. This outcome is known as resource partitioning.

The concept of Socio-Emotional Skills is about how individuals can reflect on their emotions when they need to make intrapersonal and interpersonal decisions. It is, therefore, the reflexive capacity to deal with the emotions and to potentiate unique characteristics of oneself in the relations with the other. In the educational field, such skills are built by a complex network of knowledge and behaviors related to the success or failure of an enterprise, which aims to innovate pedagogically.

Behavioral changes associated with motor skill acquisition can be broken down into three broad categories: (1) movements are executed faster and become more coordinated, (2) they come to rely on sensory information gained while executing the task, rather than just sensory information used during initial stages of learning the task, and (3) they seem to be executed with less conscious thought and attention.
