Hinton, Geoffrey E.; Shallice, Tim – Psychological Review, 1991
In a simulation, the lesioning of a connectionist model that maps orthographic inputs onto semantic features produces several counterintuitive behaviors that are also shown by acquired-dyslexic patients. The similarity strengthens the suggestion that the connectionist approach captures a key aspect of human cognitive processing. (SLD)

McGrath, Marianne P.; And Others – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1995
Examined the effects of different forms of induction on children's prosocial behavior with 80 children ages 7 and 8 years.

Loach, Bill; Bloor, Cynthia – Multicultural Teaching, 1995
Discussions of bullying generally ignore the fact that bullying may be a cover for racism. A three-stage process is suggested for development of antiracist practices in the context of bullying.

Siegel, Janna; Shaughnessy, Michael F. – Adolescence, 1995

Five salient themes are identified: sensory processing, memory, stereotypical behaviors, social interaction, and empathy. Multichanneled sensory processing appeared in both subjects as did a detailed…

A three-level model explains the emergence and maintenance of rhythmic stereotypy and self-injury in disabled individuals: Level 1, internally regulated rhythmic behaviors; Level 2, stereotypy and self-injury as adaptive responses to understimulating or overstimulating environments; and Level 3, stereotypy and self-injury as learned behaviors to…
