Mohammad Mahdi Amanzadeh – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The overarching theme of this research project is to build a machine-accessible and mathematically precise abstraction of human body movement through experiments in programming an articulated puppet that imitates the human body structure and mobility within a "Real-Time Interactive Computer Animation" (RTICA). Human movement has been the…

Kim, Minju; Schachner, Adena – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Dance is a universal human behavior and a crucial component of human musicality. When and how does the motivation and tendency to move to music develop? How does this behavior change as a process of maturation and learning? We characterize infants' earliest dance behavior, leveraging parents' extensive at-home observations of their children.…

Siantuba, Jackson; Nkhata, Leonard; de Jong, Ton – Smart Learning Environments, 2023
This study sought to develop and evaluate an online module based on inquiry learning with digital laboratories, which was intended to address students' misconceptions in a science domain. In a quasi-experimental design, 171 first-year students in a higher education introductory physics course on circular motion were as their existing groups…

Goffman, Lisa; Factor, Laiah; Barna, Mitchell; Cai, Fuwen; Feld, Ilana – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Sign language, like spoken language, incorporates phonological and articulatory (or motor) processing components. Thus, the learning of novel signs, like novel spoken word forms, may be problematic for children with developmental language disorder (DLD). In the present work, we hypothesize that phonological and articulatory deficits in…

Volfson, Alexander; Eshach, Haim; Ben-Abu, Yuval – Contemporary Educational Technology, 2023
Circus art excites amazes and delights. Most of circus genres are based on the principles of classical physics. Dialogic discussions are known as an instrument to identify conceptual barriers (misconceptions) and facilitate their further revision. The present study integrates the three worlds: physics education, dialogic teaching and circus art;…

Hernández, Irene Tovar; Vaquero, José Manuel – Physics Teacher, 2023
Old physics textbooks give us a great opportunity to learn about the history of science and rediscover different methods to teach physics to our students. There are many disused and forgotten experiments in them, but these can still be very useful to affirm and understand physics. This is the case of an instrument used in the 19th century to…

Boucher, Hilary; Carder, Danielle; Schoen, Sarah A. – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2023
Sensory over-responsivity in the vestibular domain (aka gravitational insecurity) has been frequently identified in the literature. However, little has been written about the effectiveness of interventions, especially in toddlers with these idiopathic challenges (e.g. without a diagnosis of autism). The objective of this pilot study was to test…

Chiu, Jen-I; Tsuei, Mengping – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Escalator-related injuries are common among metro passengers in urban cities. In this study, a motion graphic promoting escalator safety principles was developed and used to investigate college students' behavioural intentions regarding escalator safety. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model was adopted as the study…

White, Rachel; Coyle, Jim – Journal of General Music Education, 2023
Music, movement, and imaginative play are essential for young children to explore and understand the world around them. It is important for educators of early primary students to consider how they can facilitate meaningful learning experiences that are practical, engaging, and allow children to investigate unfamiliar musical ideas in supportive,…

Kara K. Palmer; Adam Pennell; Bryan Terlizzi; Michael A. Nunu; David F. Stodden; Leah E. Robinson – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
This study (a) examined the associations among different performance metrics derived from different strategies (i.e., maximum and average scores) and trials from product-oriented measures of motor skills, and (b) explored how different performance metrics from product-oriented assessments of motor skills change in young children with typical…

Willis, Athena S. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Recent research shows that deaf signers show increased behavioral and neural sensitivity to certain types of movement, such as biological motion, human actions, and signing avatars. However, other work suggests that in deaf signers exposed to signed language before age five, the mirror mechanism has minimal involvement during the perception of…

Wallman-Jones, Amie; Mölders, Claudia; Schmidt, Mirko; Schärli, Andrea – Journal of Dance Education, 2023
The Feldenkrais Method® (FM) is a form of somatic education aiming to increase brain-body communication, reportedly via interoceptive mechanisms. Although empirically proven to improve perceived interoceptive ability and psychological well-being in adults, feasibility in adolescents remains unclear. We therefore used a combined randomized…

Wiltshire, Charlotte E. E.; Chiew, Mark; Chesters, Jennifer; Healy, Máiréad P.; Watkins, Kate E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: People who stutter (PWS) have more unstable speech motor systems than people who are typically fluent (PWTF). Here, we used real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the vocal tract to assess variability and duration of movements of different articulators in PWS and PWTF during fluent speech production. Method: The vocal tracts of 28…

Achermann, Sheila; Falck-Ytter, Terje; Bölte, Sven; Nyström, Pär – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
In typical development, infants form predictions about future events based on incoming sensory information, which is essential for perception and goal-directed action. It has been suggested that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) make predictions differently compared to neurotypical individuals. We investigated how infants who later…

Mondada, Lorenza – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
Focusing on request sequences, this article explores dynamics of projection and anticipation, enabling participants to produce early responses to requests. In particular, the analyses highlight the importance of multimodal formatting and the specific temporalities of multiple multimodal resources for the emergence of projections and the…
