Learning Disabilities

240
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

398
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

760
Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.0K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Chunking and Rehearsal in Sensory Memory

262
Improving short-term memory can be achieved through techniques like chunking and rehearsal. Chunking involves organizing information into larger, more manageable units. This technique is particularly useful for information that exceeds the typical memory span of between five and nine items. For instance, logging into an online account with a password like "ta89vq0179gz" involves grouping letters and numbers into three chunks—ta89, vq01, and 79gz. It makes large amounts of...

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language01:10

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

950
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Telerehabilitation is effective for neurodevelopmental disorders and specific learning disabilities (SLD).
  • Previous studies show telerehabilitation impacts reading abilities in SLD.
  • Variables influencing telerehabilitation effectiveness in SLD remain understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test telerehabilitation's effectiveness on reading and writing in SLD children.
  • To compare different treatment pathways for telerehabilitation.
  • To investigate the impact of training intensity and executive functions on outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-three children with SLD were enrolled.
  • A telerehabilitation group (48 children) and a waiting list control group (25 children) were compared.
  • Outcomes measured included reading fluency, text dictation, and executive functions.

Main Results:

  • The telerehabilitation group showed significant improvements in reading fluency, text dictation, and executive functions.
  • Combined training (reading tasks + rapid automatized naming) enhanced word reading fluency and text dictation.
  • Training session number and executive function changes correlated with reading accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • Telerehabilitation significantly enhances learning abilities and executive functions in children with SLD.
  • Training focused on learning tasks and underlying processes improves reading speed and writing accuracy.
  • Findings support telerehabilitation's clinical utility for SLD interventions.
