Understanding Developmental Disorders
Author: John Morton
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470694319
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
A long-awaited book from developmental disorders expert John Morton, Understanding Developmental Disorders: A Causal Modelling Approach makes sense of the many competing theories about what can go wrong with early brain development, causing a child to develop outside the normal range. Based on the idea that understanding developmental disorders requires us to talk about biological, cognitive, behavioral and environmental factors, and to talk about causal relationships among these elements. Explains what causal modelling is and how to do it. Compares different theories about particular developmental disorders using causal modelling. Will have a profound impact on research in the fields of psychology, neuroscience and medicine.

Developmental Dysgraphia
Author: Brenda Rapp
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351020080
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The ability to communicate with written language is critical for success in school and in the workplace. Unfortunately, many children suffer from developmental dysgraphia—impairment in acquiring spelling or handwriting skills—and this form of impairment has received relatively little attention from researchers and educators. This volume brings together, for the first time, theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous research on developmental dysgraphia, presented alongside reviews of the typical development of spelling and writing skills. Leading experts on writing and dysgraphia shed light on different types of impairments that can affect the learning of spelling and writing skills, and provide insights into the typical development of these skills. The volume, which contributes both to the basic science of literacy and to the applied science of diagnosing and treating developmental dysgraphia, should interest researchers, educators, and clinicians. This book was originally published as a special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology.

An Application of Game Theoretic Models to Water Resources Management
Author: Shouke Wei
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781511914949
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Water quality degradation and water scarcity are two serious problems, and water resources management related to those problems usually involves conflicts. In the absence of market and exclusive property rights, those conflicts are unavoidable. Game theory is an appropriate approach to simulate and resolve such conflicts. The overall objective of this book is to develop a practical methodology and mechanism to promote the maximization of public welfare from a socio-economic and environmental perspective using game theory. There are three main goals: 1) to use game theory to illustrate and analyze phenomena of water resources management, 2) to set up non-cooperative and cooperative game theoretic simulation models of water conflicts in a river basin, and 3) to apply the game theoretic simulation approach into water conflicts involved in the Hanjiang River Basin (HRB) in China. The game theoretic simulation approach and results benefit not only different groups of water stakeholders, but also decision makers to make policies on water quantity allocation, water quality protection, water pricing as well as ecological compensation.

Pragmatic Development
Author: Anat Ninio
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429977689
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
The pragmatic system consists of the rules for appropriate and communicatively-effective language use. This book provides an integrated view of the acquisition of the various pragmatic subsystems, including expression of communicative intents, participation in conversation, and production of extended discourse. The three components of the pragmatic system are presented in a way that makes clear how they relate to each other and why they all fall under the rubric of "pragmatics". The authors combine their own extensive work in these three domains with an overview of the field of pragmatic development, describing how linguistic pragmatics relates to other aspects of language development, to social development, and to becoming a member of one's culture.
