The outcome of an early intervention program for low-birthweight (LBW) infants was examined in this study. The intervention consisted of 11 sessions, beginning during the final week of hospitalization and extending into the home over a 3-month period. The program aimed to facilitate maternal adjustment to the care of a LBW infant, and, indirectly, to enhance the child's development. Neonates weighing less than 2,200 grams and under 37 weeks gestational age were randomly assigned to experimental or control conditions. A full-term, normal birthweight (NBW) group served as a second control. 6-month analyses of dyads who completed all assessments over a 4-year period (N's = 25 LBW experimental, 29 LBW control, and 28 NBW infant-mother dyads) showed that the experimental group mothers reported significantly greater self-confidence and satisfaction with mothering, as well as more favorable perception of infant temperament than LBW control group mothers. A progressive divergence between the LBW experimental and LBW control children on cognitive scores culminated in significant group differences on the McCarthy GCI at ages 36 and 48 months, when the LBW experimental group caught up to the NBW group. Possible explanations for the observed delay in the emergence of intervention effects on cognitive development and the mediating role of favorable mother-infant transactional patterns are discussed in light of recent evidence from the literature.  相似文献   

Exam Scams and Classroom Flimflams: Urban Legends as an Alternative Lens for Viewing the College Classroom Experience     

Claire Howell Major  Nathaniel Bray 《Innovative Higher Education》2008,32(5):237-250

Campus-based urban legends have the potential to convey and construct student culture in higher education. Basic qualitative and humanistic research methods were used to collect, analyze, and interpret legends related to the academic experience of collegiate life.

ETHICAL DILEMMAS ENCOUNTERED IN THE CARE OF THOSE WHO ARE DISABLED AND ALSO OLD     

Mary C. Howell 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(5):439-449

The aging of the population and the widespread prevalence of significant mental and physical disabilities increase the numbers of persons who are vulnerable. This creates ethical dilemmas in providing care, competing alternatives each determined by ethical principles. Such dilemmas are encountered in the Kennedy Aging Project, which teaches health professionals about the problems and care of those who are both mentally retarded and old. Two dilemmas, competency to refuse treatment and recompense for prior mistreatment, are discussed in detail as illustrative.  相似文献

Design Issues in the Use of Robots as Cognitive Enhancement Aids     

R. D. Howell  G. B. Mayton  P. R. Baker 《Educational Media International》2013,50(2):104-105

Abstract

Robotic manipulators are being used in an investigation of their potential as effective classroom learning aids when used by severely orthopaedically disabled children to manipulate educational materials and to play games. During the course of the design and development of a prototype robotic system for educational use, several issues have surfaced that constitute serious considerations in the process. Of particular importance are issues involving accessibility, software design, curriculum integration and specific research questions involving spatial visualisation. Performance data from previous investigations has shown that learning to use robots can be easily accomplished, and that the consequent learning is remarkably resistant to decay over time.  相似文献
