TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a schema-based instruction model for story problem solvers and the problem solving environment, which is based on the schema of arithmetic story problems, and assesses the schema model in SPS and PSE.

TL;DR: No combination of demographic variables and symptoms allowed highly reliable prediction of PLMS, and the strengths of the associations between interview variables and myoclonus indices were all small.
Abstract: The prevalence of periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) in a randomly selected elderly sample is reported. In San Diego, 427 elderly volunteers aged 65 yr and over were recorded in their homes. Forty-five percent had a myoclonus index, MI greater than or equal to 5. Correlates of PLMS included dissatisfaction with sleep, sleeping alone and reported kicking at night. Although statistically significant, the strengths of the associations between interview variables and myoclonus indices were all small. No combination of demographic variables and symptoms allowed highly reliable prediction of PLMS.

TL;DR: Variables observed concurrently with physical activity, such as time spent outdoors and prompts to be active, were highly associated with children's physical activity.
Abstract: Twenty-two potential correlates of children's physical activity were examined Two hundred and one Mexican-American and 146 Anglo-American families with 4-year-old children were studied Children's physical activity was directly observed in the evening at home on 4 visits for 1 hr each time Anglo-American children and male children were found to be more active Demographic variables explained 11% of the variance in children's physical activity After adjusting for demographics, 3 children's variables and 6 social-family variables did not account for significantly more variance Five environmental variables accounted for 11% additional variance Variables observed concurrently with physical activity, such as time spent outdoors and prompts to be active, were highly associated with children's physical activity

TL;DR: This work provides the first demonstration that exposure to word forms in a statistical word segmentation task facilitates subsequent word learning, and prior segmentation opportunities, but not mere frequency of exposure, facilitated infants learning of object labels.
Abstract: The present experiments investigated how the process of statistically segmenting words from fluent speech is linked to the process of mapping meanings to words. Seventeen-month-old infants first participated in a statistical word segmentation task, which was immediately followed by an object-label-learning task. Infants presented with labels that were words in the fluent speech used in the segmentation task were able to learn the object labels. However, infants presented with labels consisting of novel syllable sequences (nonwords; Experiment 1) or familiar sequences with low internal probabilities (part-words; Experiment 2) did not learn the labels. Thus, prior segmentation opportunities, but not mere frequency of exposure, facilitated infants∗ learning of object labels. This work provides the first demonstration that exposure to word forms in a statistical word segmentation task facilitates subsequent word learning.
