Proficiency-based curricula maximize efficiency by tailoring training to meet the needs of each individual; however, because rates of skill acquisition vary widely, such curricula may be difficult to implement.
A number of studies consistently found that the mechanisms underlying early reading skills development (word decoding, reading fluency, reading comprehension) as well as the cognitive predictors of reading acquisition vary, at least in part, with the orthographic context (e.g. Ziegler and Goswami 2005; Georgiou et al. 2008; Ziegler et al. 2010).
Some individuals acquire skills more rapidly than others; indeed, innate abilities and the speed of skill acquisition vary considerably among trainees, even in groups with similar levels of clinical experience [ 17].
UK rates of new partner acquisition vary by marital status, being highest among single or previously married women, intermediate among co-habiting women and lowest in married women (Johnson et al, 2001), a pattern compatible with our findings.
The time of acquisition varied from 3 to 5 minutes.
Moreover, estimated rates of prey acquisition varied importantly with various methods for calculating pack size, as estimates varied by as much as 50% depending on how newborn pups were accounted for when determining pack size (Fig. 4).
Length of acquisition varied from 20 to 30 min.
As bone mass acquisition varies between girls and boys, 19 all statistical analyses were stratified by sex.
The NMR diffusion coefficients measured for a sample heated to 70 °C prior to a return to 27 °C for spectra acquisition, varied with Δ, corresponding to a species of hydrodynamic radius, within experimental uncertainty, of the value obtained from native starch.
However, the cost of ALS acquisition can vary significantly depending on the acquisition parameters, particularly the return density (i.e., spatial resolution) of the lidar point cloud.
