Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI). The Global Assessment of Functioning scale suitable for children 6 - 17 y/o is considered a valid and reliable tool to assess social and school functioning. For self-care and daily tasks evaluation the PEDI is commonly used since its modifications and functional skills’ scales have a P-value ranging from <0.001 to P.0.38 (Elon University, 2015). For assessment of play activities, the test of Playfulness (ToP) is used in children between 15 mos. and…

Christian romanticism has a significant influence on Hudson River artists, whose foundation can be traced back to the fundamental cohesion between humankind, nature and god based on Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) and his student Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862). Agreeing that nature was thought to be indicative of divinity, “the paintings of Cole are of that nature that it hardly transcends the proper use of language to call them acts of religion,” wrote William Cullen Bryant. Cropsey shared a…

Jaiden Fallo 2/4/16 World Lit Belief Statements (Existentialism) I believe in the philosophy that people are born as blank slates (tabula rasa). Blank slate, I believe, means the mind does not have innate concepts. Reflexes, urges, or any other involuntary primitive emotions (fear, hunger, pain, etc...), muscle movements are not concepts. That a baby can crawl, eat, breathe, grasp, cry and even walk before ever saying the first word, or concept, it learns is no disproof of tabula rasa. I think…

BOLD NOTE: I am going to add scientific research behind modern happiness and analyze Peter Parker/Spider Man and…

gets no merit but the goalie is the most essential player on the team. Google’s oversimplification of the goalie position in lacrosse is far too insulting to take seriously. It says all you have to do in order to be a lacrosse goalie is work on your reflexes, learn how to save shots, and successfully pass to other players. It takes so much more steps for you to become a great goalie. The goalie is an intricate and complex position that…

An individual’s growth is characterized by various developmental categories including physical appearance, regulation of emotions, cognitive and language abilities. Often the development is thought to be differentiated by the numerous cultures globally yet in the documentary Babies directed by Thomas Balmès illustrates the similarities among all four countries he documents. As one infant (Ponijao) is from Namibia his culture is largely different in comparison to the baby (Hatti) from the United…

Fetal Sus Dissection and Exploration S. Topzand, N. Gigliazza, N. Cordell, E. Nomura, J. Immel Introduction: Dissection is a medical procedure that has proved its significance in the progression of what we know, anatomically, about every organism since it was first performed by two Roman physicians in the 3rd century. Not only that, but it has also helped to spark other very substantial scientific studies. So exactly how far back does dissection go? Well in about the third century, BCE, there…

It was highly influential and dominated psychological theory for some thirty years between the early 1920’s and 1950’s. The early formulation of behaviourist theory was in the work of an American psychologist John B Watson. In some respects, his research was a response to the prevailing psychoanalytic approaches to therapy at the time. In his work ‘Psychology from the Standpoint of a Behaviourist’ published in 1929, Watson believed that behaviourism, ‘Attempted to make a fresh, clean start in…
