Book excerpt: Processing speed refers to the cognitive ability that is involved in fluently performing cognitive tasks with simple stimuli. Individual differences in processing speed can predict performance on tests of complex cognitive functions such as memory and fluid reasoning, as well as performance on academic tests in reading, writing, and mathematics. For this reason, measures of processing speed are included in most cognitive assessment batteries. However, extant measures of processing speed rely on visual stimuli, making them inaccessible to individuals with visual impairments. The current study describes the adaptation of one of the most commonly used processing speed measures, WISC-IV Coding, into a tactile task. Using a sample of 19 high school students (Mage = 15.74) with visual impairments who use braille as their primary literacy medium, have no additional disabilities, and are on track to receive their high school diploma by age 22, preliminary validation analyses were conducted. Split-half reliability calculations showed that scores on the instrument were reliable (a = .92). Additional instruments were administered - including the KeyMath-R braille adaptation, DIBELS braille reading fluency, and the Blind Learning Aptitude Test - to examine convergent and discriminant validity, and results provided evidence of convergent validity. Implications for practice and future directions for research are discussed.

Book excerpt: Validation is the subjective process that determines the accuracy with which the mathematical model describes the actual physical phenomenon. This research was conducted in order to validate the use of finite element analysis for springback compensation in 3D scanning of sheet metal objects. The measurement uncertainty analysis was used to compare the digitized 3D model of deformed sheet metal product with the 3D model obtained by simulated deformation. The influence factors onto 3D scanning and numerical simulation processes are identified and analysed. It is shown that major contribution to measurement uncertainty comes from scanning method and deviations of parts due to manufacturing technology. The analysis results showed that numerical methods, such as finite element method, can successfully be used in computer aided quality control and automated inspection of manufactured parts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Touch screen tablets have greatly expanded the technology accessible to preschoolers, toddlers and even infants, given that they do not require the fine motor skills required for using traditional computers. Many parents and educators wish to make evidence-based decisions regarding young children’s technology use, yet technological advancements continue to occur faster than researchers can keep up with. Accordingly, despite touch screen tablets entering society more than 5 years ago, we are in the infancy of research concerning interactive media and children. The topic has gained traction in the past couple of years. For example theoretical papers have discussed how interactive media activities differ from physical toys and passive media (Christakis, 2014), and how educational apps development should utilise the four “pillars” of learning (Hirsh-Pasek et al., 2015). Yet there has been little experimental research published on young children and touch screen use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Span Motor Development, Eighth Edition With HKPropel Access, is a leading text for helping students understand a person’s movement abilities as the interaction of the individual’s development and maturation, the environment, and the task being performed. This model of constraints approach, combined with an unprecedented collection of video clips marking motor development advancements, facilitates an unmatched learning experience for the study of motor development across the life span. Life Span Motor Development helps students understand how maturational age and chronological age are distinct and how functional constraints affect motor skill development and learning. It shows how the four components of physical fitness—cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, and body composition—interact to affect a person’s movements over the life span, and it describes how relevant social, cultural, psychosocial, and cognitive influences can affect a person’s movements. It also now includes more content on atypical development; new Spotlight on Disability sidebars help readers use the constraints perspective to better understand how various disabilities influence motor development. The eighth edition continues the tradition of making the student’s experience with motor development an interactive one. Related online learning tools delivered through HKPropel include an updated video library with more than 200 video clips, showing motor development milestones, to sharpen observation techniques; flash cards; key term quizzes; and 48 lab activities (including one new to this edition) to facilitate critical thinking and hands-on application. Some lab activities may be assigned and tracked by instructors through HKPropel, and sample answers for the lab activities are found in the instructor guide. Chapter quizzes are automatically graded to test comprehension of critical concepts. This edition features updated, modernized artwork and includes 142 illustrations, 60 photos, and 24 tables—all in full color—to help explain concepts and to make the text more engaging for students. It also retains helpful learning aids, including chapter objectives, a running glossary, key points, sidebars, and application questions throughout the text. Each chapter begins with a section titled Motor Development in the Real World, which presents realistic experiences that help readers connect with the material. Each chapter ends with a section titled Reinforcing What You Have Learned About Constraints, which prompts readers to answer questions about the material and complete learning exercises. Answers to these questions are included in the instructor guide. Life Span Motor Development, Eighth Edition, embraces an interactive and practical approach to illustrate the most recent research in motor development. Students will come away with a firm understanding of the concepts and how they apply to real-world situations. Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is not included with this ebook but may be purchased separately.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access book. In this third edition of Engineering Haptic Devices the software part was rewritten from scratch and now includes even more details on tactile and texture interaction modalities. The kinematics section was improved to extend beyond a pure knowledge explanation to a comprehensive guideline on how to actually do and implement haptic kinematic functions. The control section was reworked incorporating some hands-on experience on control implementation on haptic systems. The system, actuator and sensor design chapters were updated to allow easier access to the content. This book is written for students and engineers faced with the development of a task-specific haptic system. Now 14 years after its first edition, it is still a reference for the basics of haptic interaction and existing haptic systems and methods as well as an excellent source of information for technical questions arising in the design process of systems and components. Following a system engineering approach, it is divided into two parts with Part I containing background and reference information as a knowledge basis. Typical application areas of haptic systems and a thorough analysis of haptics as an interaction modality are introduced. The role of users in the design of haptic systems is discussed and relevant design and development stages are outlined. Part II presents all related challenges in the design of haptic systems including general system architecture and control structures, kinematics, actuator principles and all types of sensors you may encounter doing haptic device development. Beside these hardware and mechanical topics, further chapters examine state-of-the-art interfaces to operate the devices, and hardware and software development to push haptic systems to their limits.

This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuropsychology as a field has been slow to embrace and exploit the potential offered by technology to either make the assessment process more efficient or to develop new capabilities that augment the assessment of cognition. The Role of Technology in Clinical Neuropsychology details current efforts to use technology to enhance cognitive assessment with an emphasis on developing expanded capabilities for clinical assessment. The first sections of the book provide an overview of current approaches to computerized assessment along with newer technologies to assess behavior. The next series of chapters explores the use of novel technologies and approaches in cognitive assessment as they relate to developments in telemedicine, mobile health, and remote monitoring including developing smart environments. While still largely office-based, health care is increasingly moving out of the office with an increased emphasis on connecting patients with providers, and providers with other providers, remotely. Chapters also address the use of technology to enhance cognitive rehabilitation by implementing conceptually-based games to teach cognitive strategies and virtual environments to measure outcomes. Next, the chapters explore the use of virtual reality and scenario-based assessment to capture critical aspects of performance not assessed by traditional means and the implementation of neurobiological metrics to enhance patient assessment. Chapters also address the use of imaging to better define cognitive skills and assessment methods along with the integration of cognitive assessment with imaging to define the functioning of brain networks. The final section of the book discusses the ethical and methodological considerations needed for adopting advanced technologies for neuropsychological assessment. Authored by numerous leading figures in the field of neuropsychology, this volume emphasizes the critical role that virtual environments, neuroimaging, and data analytics will play as clinical neuropsychology moves forward in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In examining the relationship between nutritional exposure and disease aetiology, the importance of a carefully considered experimental design cannot be overstated. A sound experimental design involves the formulation of a clear research hypothesis and the identification of appropriate measures of exposure and outcome. It is essential that these variables can be measured with a minimum of error, whilst taking into account the effects of chance and bias, and being aware of the risk of confounding variables. The first edition of Design Concepts in Nutritional Epidemiology presented a throrough guide to research methods in nutritional epidemiology. Since publication of the 1st edition, we now have a much better understanding of the characteristics of nutritional exposure that need to be measured in order to answer questions about diet-disease relationships. The 2nd edition has been extensively revised to include the most up-to-date methods of researching this relationship. Included are new chapters on qualitative and sociological measures, anthropometric measures, gene-nutrient interactions, and cross-sectional studies. Design Concepts in Nutritional Epidemiology will be an essential text for nutritionists and epidemiologists, helping them in their quest to improve the quality of information upon which important public health decisions are made.
