    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Developmental Coordination Disorder; Learning Disorder; ADHD; Primary reflexes; Vestibular stimulation; Psycholigical development; Regression; Retraining for Balance; Developmental Coordination Disorder; Inlärningssvårigheter; ADHD; Primära reflexer; Vestibulär stimulering; Psykologisk utveckling; Regression; Retraining for Balance; Psykologi; Psychology;

    Abstract : The first purpose of this thesis was to examine whether sensorimotor therapy utilizing the training program ”Retraining for Balance” might be an appropriate technique for sensorimotor proficiency. The second purpose was to gain increased understanding of the effects of sensorimotor therapy on the physical and psychological development of children and youth. READ MORE

  4. 22. Articulation in time : Some word-initial segments in Swedish

    Author : Malin Svensson Lundmark; Fonetik; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; acceleration; articulation; articulography; coarticulation; EMA; gesture; phonology; prosody; speech motor control; speech production modelling; Swedish; word accent; tone;

    Abstract : Speech is both dynamic and distinctive at the same time. This implies a certain contradiction which has entertained researchers in phonetics and phonology for decades. The present dissertation assumes that articulation behaves as a function of time, and that we can find phonological structures in the dynamical systems. READ MORE

In addition, to also examine the usefulness of a parental screening questionnaire for concerns regarding neurodevelopmental problems (NDPs) in 11-year-old children. READ MORE

  7. 25. Neural correlates of skilled movement : functional mapping of the human brain with fMRI and PET

    Author : H Henrik Ehrsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Brain; manual dexterity inter-limb coordination; kinesthesia; motor imagery;

    Abstract : Humans have unique abilities to perform certain types of skilled voluntary movements. In this thesis we examine the neural substrates of. (i) fine digit actions, in particular the control of fingertip forces during manipulation, and (ii) the coordination of voluntary movements of different limbs. READ MORE
