Falls in the nursing home: a collaborative approach.

30 May 2009 Problem solving using a collaborative approach may reduce the risk of falls in the nursing home. Interventions need to be tailored to the individual's cognitive and physical impairments as well as be feasible in the particular long-term care ... Read more...

Gender, culture, and mathematics performance.

30 May 2009 Using contemporary data from the U.S. and other nations, we address 3 questions: Do gender differences in mathematics performance exist in the general population? Do gender differences exist among the mathematically talented? Do females exist who ... Read more...

Empty sets as part of the numerical continuum: conceptual precursors to the zero concept in rhesus monkeys.

29 Apr 2009 The goal of the current research was to explore whether monkeys possess conceptual precursors necessary for understanding zero. We trained rhesus monkeys on a nonsymbolic numerical matching-to-sample task, and on a numerical ordering task. We then ... Read more...
