Direct linkMorán, Paloma – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Distance learning requires the combined use of techniques because it is more complicated to keep the students' attention. This exercise is designed to explain the inactivation of the x-chromosome in humans and is intended to complement the theoretical explanations. It is estimated that it lasts two hours and makes use of different web resources.…

Mowrer, Emily R.; Potratz, Jeffrey P. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Categorizing the various levels of protein and nucleic acid structures is a relatively straightforward concept students understand quickly when shown representative structural images. However, keeping in mind the idea of primary, secondary, and tertiary structure proves more difficult when students are in the laboratory setting simply looking at a…

Byiers, Breanne J.; Payen, Ameante; Feyma, Timothy; Panoskaltsis-Mortari, Angela; Ehrhardt, Michael J.; Symons, Frank J. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from mutations of the MECP2 gene. Hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and abnormal stress responses have been observed in animal models of RTT, but little is known about HPA axis function among individuals with RTT. Diurnal salivary cortisol patterns…

Zampini, Laura; Ferrante, Camilla; Silibello, Gaia; Dall'Ara, Francesca; Rigamonti, Claudia; Zanchi, Paola; Vizziello, Paola Giovanna; Lalatta, Faustina; Costantino, Maria Antonella – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2020
Background: Although language difficulties are one of the most distinctive characteristics of the neuropsychological profile of children with sex chromosome trisomies (SCT), the analysis of the maternal input addressed to them is a neglected topic. Aims: The present study aims to analyse the lexical, morphosyntactic, and functional features of the…

Lee, Michelle; Nayar, Kritika; Maltman, Nell; Hamburger, Daniel; Martin, Gary E.; Gordon, Peter C.; Losh, Molly – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
This study examined narrative ability in ASD and parents across two contexts differing in structure and emotional content, and explored gaze patterns that may underlie narrative differences by presenting narrative tasks on an eye tracker. Participants included 37 individuals with ASD and 38 controls, 151 parents of individuals with ASD and 63…

Patel, Shivani P.; Nayar, Kritika; Martin, Gary E.; Franich, Kathryn; Crawford, Stephanie; Diehl, Joshua J.; Losh, Molly – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
This study examined prosody through characterization of acoustic properties of the speech of individuals with ASD and their parents, during narration. A subset of utterances were low-pass filtered and rated for differences in intonation, speech rate, and rhythm. Listener ratings were minimally related to acoustic measures, underscoring the…

The purpose of the present study was to investigate associations of dietary intake including vitamin D, folate, and n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in pregnant women with broad autism phenotype (BAP). The Japan Environment and Children's Study is a government-funded birth cohort study. All complete data of 92,011 were analyzed. The…

Asbury, Kathryn; Wai, Jonathan – Journal of School Choice, 2020
This paper introduces a literature from outside the field of education research and policy that we argue has potential to enhance both policy and practice. This field, behavioral genetics, has amassed highly replicable findings spanning more than half a century. Although no necessary policy implications follow from the evidence we review here,…

Silveira, M. V.; Barthem, R. B.; Santos, A. C. F. – Physics Education, 2020
This work presents an experiment that seeks to simulate human color vision through electronic components in an attempt to build, together with the students, a cybernetic 'eye'. The limitation of the cybernetic eye developed here in relation to the standard human chromatic vision, which makes it a 'colorblind eye', is an argument to be explored by…

Gatica-Domínguez, Giovanna; Rothenberg, Stephen J.; Torres-Sánchez, Luisa; Schnaas, Lourdes; Stein, Aryeh D.; Schmidt, Rebecca J.; López-Carrillo, Lizbeth – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2020
Prenatal folate and vitamin B[subscript 12] status have been linked to child neuropsychological development, but less is known about maternal genetic influences on this association. We conducted an exploratory longitudinal study of 181 mother--child pairs to assess whether maternal MTHFR 677C>T genotype modifies the association between maternal…

Rice, Mabel L.; Taylor, Catherine L.; Zubrick, Stephen R.; Hoffman, Lesa; Earnest, Kathleen K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Early language and speech acquisition can be delayed in twin children, a twinning effect that diminishes between 4 and 6 years of age in a population-based sample. The purposes of this study were to examine how twinning effects influence the identification of children with language impairments at 4 and 6 years of age, comparing children…

Alexandrescu, Anamaria; Carew, Thomas J. – Learning & Memory, 2020
The spatial and temporal coordination of growth factor signaling is critical for both presynaptic and postsynaptic plasticity underlying long-term memory formation. We investigated the spatiotemporal dynamics of "Aplysia" cysteine-rich neurotrophic factor (ApCRNF) signaling during the induction of activity-dependent long-term…

This study explored the pedagogical strategies employed by grade 12, life-sciences teachers in township schools to teach complex concepts, such as genetics and meiosis, using improvised teaching resources. Resource constraints in South African township schools often limit learners' access to traditional teaching materials and technologies. In…

Madeleine Rawlinson; Susana Castro-Kemp – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2025
There is an abundance of literature on health-related outcomes for children and young people with Prader-Willi syndrome and on their lived experiences as well as on their caregivers'. However, little is known about the experiences of education practitioners when providing for them. This study gathered in-depth evidence of the lived experience of…

Tholani Tshuma; Eunice Nyamupangedengu – Research in Social Sciences and Technology, 2025
This inquiry sought to investigate the opportunities and potential challenges of engaging in a self-study approach as a strategy for enhancing professional growth during my teaching of the topic of evolutionary genetics to 24 twelfth-grade students. I had, for many years, experienced pedagogical deficits and shortcomings when teaching evolutionary…
