Danesi, Marcel – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2007
Word problems in mathematics seem to constantly pose learning difficulties for all kinds of students. Recent work in math education (for example, [Lakoff, G. & Nunez, R. E. (2000). "Where mathematics comes from: How the embodied mind brings mathematics into being." New York: Basic Books]) suggests that the difficulties stem from an…

Cipani, Ennio; Golden, Jeannie A. – International Journal of Behavioral Consultation and Therapy, 2007
In this paper, a behavioral case formulation is contrasted with traditional mental health formulations about children presenting severe behavior problems.

Palladino, Joseph J.; Tryon, Georgiana Shick – Journal of College Student Personnel, 1978
Changes in the problems of entering college freshmen necessitate changes in student counseling. This study compares the problems of 400 undergraduates entering college in 1976 with problems endorsed by 400 entering freshmen in 1969. There are both similarities and differences between the two groups. (Author)

Huo, Yan – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Variable-length computerized adaptive testing (CAT) can provide examinees with tailored test lengths. With the fixed standard error of measurement ("SEM") termination rule, variable-length CAT can achieve predetermined measurement precision by using relatively shorter tests compared to fixed-length CAT. To explore the application of…

Hammond, Jennifer L. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Previous research has shown that problem behavior maintained by social-negative reinforcement can be treated without escape extinction by enhancing the quality of positive reinforcement for an appropriate alternative response such as compliance. By contrast, negative reinforcement (escape) for compliance generally has been ineffective in the…

The validity of the Five Factor Model of personality traits has been mainly assessed with adults and late adolescents. Research has shown that adolescents are able to give reliable self-reports regarding their personality dispositions, but only a few studies have explored self-ratings in children younger than 12 years. Consistent patterns of…
