THE EFFECT OF TIME FACTORS ON UPDATING OF SPATIAL SITUATION MODELS WITHOUT CLUE Chi Yukai,Mo Lei,Guan Yanhua,Wang Suiping 2004, 2(1):  333-336.  Abstract ( )   PDF (453KB) ( )   References | Related Articles | Metrics By using an on-line window display technique, the present study investigated the effect of chronological distance on updating spatial information without clue in text-reading. College students read short narrative passages from a computer screen and responded to recognition. The result of Experiment showed that readers used temporal information to update situation models while comprehending. Furthermore, the different interval after location shift differently affect access of objects from the previously situation. The results suggested that the time factors play an important role in the processing of spatial information.

DEVELOPMENT OF VISUAL SEARCH ABILITY OF CHILDREN AGED FROM 7- TO 12- YEAR OLD Shi Jiannong,Yun Mei,Zhai Jinghua,Li Xinbing 2004, 2(1):  337-341.  Abstract ( )   PDF (442KB) ( )   References | Related Articles | Metrics 216 aged 7- to 12- years old children were tested with Arabic numbers, English alphabets and Chinese characters as visual search stimulus displayed at PC computers, and their reaction time were recorded in the present study. The results shown that the reaction time declined when age increased. In other words, the visual search ability of children increased when they grow older. No gender difference was found in the present study, and no material difference too. The RTs, in general, for "No" is significantly longer than RTs for "Yes" of children. However, the RTs of right hand for "Yes" is shorter than left hand while RTs of left hand for "No" is shorter than right hand.

The results showed: (1)The perception of internal and external incoherence of the children with learning disabilities was weaker than that of the excellent reader. (2)There was a significant correlation between perception in external incoherence and comprehension monitoring based on comprehension-confidence-evaluating technology, whereas the changing trend of the two variables was inconsistent; There was a significant correlation between perception in internal incoherence and comprehension monitoring based on comprehension-confidence-evaluating technology, and the changing trend of the two variables was consistent.

THE CEREBELLA AND DEVELOPMENTAL DYSLEXIA Peng Danling,Yang Jing 2004, 2(1):  368-372.  Abstract ( )   PDF (424KB) ( )   References | Related Articles | Metrics Developmental Dyslexia is a failure to acquire reading skills that affects around 5%~10% of school children despite adequate intelligence, education and social background. Dyslexic people are often uncoordinated, with poor balance and delayed motor milestones such as crawling, walking, and learning to ride a bicycle. Specific behavioral and neuroimaging tests reviewed here indicate that dyslexia is indeed associated with cerebellar impairment in about 80% of cases. Increasing evidence has shown the presence of anomalies with the cerebella of dyslexic people And the metabolic of dyslexic′ cerebella is also different from the normal. Brain imaging studies also revealed dysfunction of their cerebella. According to the earlier cerebella deficit hypothesis, there is a direct relationship between articulatory skill and phonological skill. As counter evidence is accumulating, the prop revised the theory and linked dyslexia with time estimation deficit. In order to specify the role of cerebella in dyslexia, the further work should focus on pure dyslexia subjects and exclude the interference of attention deficit or hyperactivity disorder.
