Elaborative interrogation as a learning technique for students with learning disabilities
(Brock University, 1995-07-09)This study examined whether or not students with learning disabilities could effectively use a question and answer strategy known as elaborative interrogation. This technique involved students answering why they thought ... -
The elderly : reminiscing, coping with loss, accepting death
(Brock University, 1995-07-09)This study investigated loss, death and dying, reminiscing, coping and the process of adaptation from the sUbjective perspective. A number of theories and models of death and dying were reviewed in the background ... -

Electrocortical indices of cognitive control in working memory : exploring the effects of proactive interference, cognitive load, and aging
(2012-04-04)Cognitive control involves the ability to flexibly adjust cognitive processing in order to resist interference and promote goal-directed behaviour. Although frontal cortex is considered to be broadly involved in cognitive ... -
Electrocortical responses in reward paradigms and their variation related to personality
(Brock University, 2010-03-09)This thesis was conducted in order to investigate two issues: (1) how sensitive event related potentials (ERPs), and more specifically the medial frontal negativity and the P3 components, are to the valence and magnitude ... -
Electrogenic proton/L-glutamate symport in isolated asparagus sprengeri mesophyll cell
(Brock University, 1991-07-09)Medium' alkaliniiation occurred -lipon the addition of L-Glu to mechanically isolated Asparagus sprenger-i mesophyll cells suspended in 1 mM CaS04. Alkalinization resulted from the coupled entry of H+ and L-Glu anion ... -
The electromyographic threshold in children: Differences in neuromuscular activation during progressive exercise between boys and men
(Brock University, 2014-06-03)The electromyographic threshold (EMGTh), defined as an upward inflexion in the rising EMG signal during progressive exercise, is thought to reflect the onset of increased type-II MU recruitment. The study’s objective was ... -
Electron Transfer Involving the Phylloquinone (A1) Cofactor of Photosystem I Examined with Time Resolved Absorbance and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
(Brock University, 2015-01-23)The dependence of the electron transfer (ET) rate on the Photosystem I (PSI) cofactor phylloquinone (A1) is studied by time-resolved absorbance and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Two active branches ... -
Electronic and magnetic properties of LaV1-xO3 /
(Brock University, 2008-06-15)A series of LaVi^xOs compounds (x=0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08) were prepeired using the standard solid reaction. The samples were chareicterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourprobe resistivity, smd magnetic susceptibility ... -
The electronic spectra and the determination of the excited state geometry of 3A" propynal /|nby Chhiu-Tsu Lin. -- 260 St. Catharines, Ont. : [s. n.],
(Brock University, 1971-07-09)Impurity free eluission spectra of HCCCHO and DCCCHO have been rephotographed using the electronic-energy-exchange method with benzene as a carrier gas. The near ultraviolet spectra of ReeCHO and DCCCHO were photographed ... -
Electronic, magnetic and thermal properties of Pb₂₋x AxCrO₅ (A = K or La)
(Brock University, 2011-10-13)Lead chromium oxide is a photoconductive dielectric material tha t has great potential of being used as a room temperature photodetector. In this research, we made ceramic pellets of this compound as well ... -
Electrophysiological analysis of the sleep onset period : a comparison between subjects with long term insomnia complaints associated with mild traumatic brain injury and matched controls /
(Brock University, 1999-05-21)The purpose of the current undertaking was to study the electrophysiological properties of the sleep onset period (SOP) in order to gain understanding into the persistent sleep difficulties of those who complain of ... -
Electrophysiological and behavioural correlates of facial identity and expression perception deficits following a closed head injury /
(Brock University, 2003-09-23)A large variety of social signals, such as facial expression and body language, are conveyed in everyday interactions and an accurate perception and interpretation of these social cues is necessary in order for reciprocal ... -
Electrophysiological constituents of the P100 and N170 ERP complex: De-constructing of face processing using independent component analysis and robust estimation.
(2013-04-02)The initial timing of face-specific effects in event-related potentials (ERPs) is a point of contention in face processing research. Although effects during the time of the N170 are robust in the literature, inconsistent ... -
Electrophysiological correlates of performance monitoring in middle and late adolescence
(Brock University, 2006-05-28)The ability to monitor and evaluate the consequences of ongoing behaviors and coordinate behavioral adjustments seems to rely on networks including the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and phasic changes in dopamine ... -
An electrophysiological examination of intentional and inadvertent sleep onset : the effect of intention on the sleep onset process
(Brock University, 1995-07-09)The main purpose ofthis study was to examine the effect ofintention on the sleep onset process from an electrophysiological point ofview. To test this, two nap conditions, the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) and the ... -
An electrophysiological investigation into the influence of affect on the attentional blink
(Brock University, 2009-01-28)Accuracy at identifying or detecting a second-target (T2) is reduced if presented within approximately 500 ms of the first target (TI) - an attentional blink (AB). Affect has previously been shown to influence the magnitude ... -
An Electrophysiological Investigation into the Role of Cognitive Control in the Attentional Blink
(Brock University, 2013-08-22)Accuracy at reporting a second-target (T2) is reduced if it is presented within approximately 500 ms of the first target (T1) – an attentional blink (AB). Early models explained the AB in terms of attentional limitations ...
