Although, we cannot exclude the possibility that the single-neuron mirror mechanism is hypofunctioning in children with ASD (bearing in mind the extreme simplicity of our tasks) yet the main deficit appears to depends on a deficit in the chain-based mirror mechanism.
This may be one reason why different scientific findings are not coherent and conclusive regarding the core deficit of DDs; while some studies support a deficit in the symbolic system as the main deficit [ 37, 38] others argue that it is in the non symbolic system [ 12, 21, 55].
Using sensitive psychophysical measures and analyses based on a TVA (Bundesen 1990), we have investigated 2 central questions regarding the main deficit in pure alexia: 1) whether their deficit in visual recognition was selective to alphabetic characters, that is, letters, and 2) whether their performance was influenced by the number of items in a display.
The camera's main deficit is that there is no built-in LCD screen or eyepiece to help frame your shot.
And it was the main deficit that doomed Sarah Palin in the general and the main advantage that is now causing Dr. Ben Carson to rise.
The main deficit of gp150 knockouts is poor virion release, presumably because their GAG-independent virions are recaptured onto the GAG-deficient surfaces of infected cells [1].
The main deficit in schizophrenia was localized at anterior left sites and, among the linguistic processes here investigated, was expressed as a significant inversion of asymmetry in the phonological component of words.
Of note the fifth domain, language, is relatively preserved in PDD [the main deficit in this area, impaired verbal fluency, is actually part of the dysexecutive syndrome (impaired self-generated search, Emre, 2003) and consequently is not discussed].
One of the main deficits in developmental dyscalculia is a difficulty in retrieval of arithmetical facts [e.g., see [ 4- 8]].
WASHINGTON — The two main deficit-reduction plans in the House and the Senate, which would tie cuts in federal spending to an increase in the debt limit, both defer tough decisions and rely heavily on procedural steps to impose fiscal discipline.
