Somatic changes during human prenatal life.     

H V Meredith 《Child development》1975,46(3):603-610

A twofold synopsis is presented on human developmental anatomy prior to birth. The first portion of the paper focuses on conceptual perspective and the second part on factual understanding. Section 1 gives an overview of the wide assortment of somatic changes manifested in the prenatal segment of human ontogeny; it illustrates alterations occurring in number, kind, location, size, and shape of body components. Section 2 presents a chronological panorama of human anatomical modifications during prenatal life; it traces somatic changes from "zygote to embryo", from "embryo to fetus", and during "the fetal period".  相似文献   

The role of feedback from phonology to orthography in orthographic learning: an extension of item‐based accounts     

Meredith McKague  Chris Davis  Chris Pratt  Michael B. Johnston 《Journal of Research in Reading》2008,31(1):55-76

Skilled readers were trained to recognise either the oral (n=44) or visual form (n=40) of a set of 32 novel words (oral and visual instantiation, respectively). Training involved learning the ‘meanings’ for the instantiated words and was followed by a visual lexical decision task in which the instantiated words were mixed with real English words and untrained pseudowords, and the instantiated words were to be considered as words. The phonology‐to‐orthography consistency (feedback consistency) of the instantiated words was manipulated to investigate the role of feedback from phonology in orthographic learning. Masked consonant and vowel‐preserving form primes were used in the lexical decision task as probes of orthographic learning. Feedback‐consistent instantiated words were recognised significantly faster in lexical decision than feedback‐inconsistent instantiated words, and facilitation was significantly greater from consonant‐preserving than vowel‐preserving primes for orally but not visually instantiated words. The results support the hypothesis that orthographic representations based on a consonant frame can be generated from the speech signal before encountering the printed forms, and that feedback from phonology is involved in the early stages of orthographic learning.  相似文献

New context,new content—Rethinking genital anatomy in textbooks     

Jennifer A. Hayes  Meredith J. Temple-Smith 《Anatomical sciences education》2022,15(5):943-956

It has been widely claimed that reductions in allocated teaching time and the widespread implementation of short-cut teaching methodologies have led to a shortfall in anatomy knowledge among graduating doctors. This decline in knowledge is evident in the failure of anatomy content to prepare graduates for contemporary clinical practice. The implications for postgraduate surgical training are addressed in the numerous extracurricular anatomy courses available to surgical candidates. This paper focuses on genital diversity and its relevance to non-surgical graduates, thus highlighting another potential impact of this knowledge shortfall on frontline clinic consultations. As the gender revolution and female genital cosmetic surgery industry flourish, nothing in contemporary anatomy textbooks addresses issues of diversification of female genitalia nor gives medical graduates a realistic view of what is normal regarding female genital appearance.  相似文献
