Antonio, Giardi – Online Submission, 2016
The aim of this paper is to focus reader's attention on "mobile" use of iTunesU and USiena model, as future compensatory tools. Starting from multimedia learning theories, a mobile course model has been designed (USiena model) and the experimental method has been used to carry out a "pilot study" with 32 dyslexic students. The…

López, Víctor; Pintó, Roser – International Journal of Science Education, 2017
Computer simulations are often considered effective educational tools, since their visual and communicative power enable students to better understand physical systems and phenomena. However, previous studies have found that when students read visual representations some reading difficulties can arise, especially when these are complex or dynamic…

Widder, Mirela; Gorsky, Paul – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2013
In schools, learning spatial geometry is usually dependent upon a student's ability to visualize three dimensional geometric configurations from two dimensional drawings. Such a process, however, often creates visual obstacles which are unique to spatial geometry. Useful software programs which realistically depict three dimensional geometric…

Jacobs, Emma; Miller, Laurie C.; Tirella, Linda G. – Child Psychiatry and Human Development, 2010
Most international adoptees (IA) have rapid catch-up of the delays common at arrival. However, it is not known whether development at arrival predicts later abilities or school readiness. Therefore, we comprehensively evaluated language, fine motor, visual reception (VR), executive function (EF), attention (ATT), and sensory skills (SS) in IA…

O'Connell, Daniel C.; Kowal, Sabine – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2005
Clark and Fox Tree (2002) have presented empirical evidence, based primarily on the London-Lund corpus (LL; Svartvik & Quirk, 1980), that the fillers "uh" and "um" are conventional English words that signal a speaker's intention to initiate a minor and a major delay, respectively. We present here empirical analyses of "uh" and "um" and of silent…
