An MDP301 trial-specific Comprehension Checklist was therefore developed and administered by clinical staff to participants at screening, enrolment, 12, 24, 40 and 52 week follow-up visits.
Haemodynamic responses, the crucial variable for analyses of functional connectivity, are abolished in lesioned cortex: posterolateral temporal cortex is involved in the majority of stroke lesions associated with speech-specific comprehension deficits (Kreisler et al., 2000).
A site-specific comprehension assessment, which included a qualitative component and a standardised written checklist, was used to evaluate how accurately study participants were able to retain key messages relating to pilot study objectives.
Below are MeSH descriptors whose meaning is more specific than "Comprehension".
Previous research has suggested that children with specific reading comprehension deficits (poor comprehenders) show an impaired ability to suppress irrelevant information from working memory, with this deficit detrimentally impacting on their working memory ability, and consequently limiting their reading comprehension performance.
Further work is needed to test the differences between task-specific and comprehension-based differences in top-down effects on visual attention when viewing film and video.
Here we take a systems-level approach to separate processes specific to language comprehension from those related to general task demands and to examine age differences in functional connectivity both within and between those systems.
The findings provide evidence for distinct neurocognitive strategies of taking others' perspective and inhibiting the process referenced to the self that are specific to the comprehension of human intelligence.
This brings to question the reliability of results from these surveys around young adult experiences when the specific wording and comprehension of questions have not been tested for 16 to 18 year olds.
If the intelligibility of the speaker's contribution is not dependent on the specifics of the comprehension process if the a priori entitlement resides in the speaker's reason then the entitlement is applicable not only to learning of other's beliefs (Moran 2005) but to acquiring beliefs.
However, there are at least three important aspects to understanding responses to questions on issue-specific party competence: comprehension difficulties; a lack of well-formed attitudes and relevant information; and the use of response heuristics.
