The large scale normative data provided here, and via the accompanying computer program, provide clinicians with a simple means of quantifying the extremity or otherwise of a patient's level of dental anxiety.
This score is supported by several large-scale, community-based, normative studies that have reported mean MMSE values of 25 to 28 for individuals between 60 and 85 years of age, depending on age and educational level [ 24- 26].
Fraser (1995) and Fraser & Nicholson (1990) also urge a reformulation of the lessons of postmodernism, toward pragmatism, fallibilism, and contextualization of knowledge claims all features fully compatible with naturalized feminist empiricism as against categorical rejections of large-scale social theory, history, normative philosophy, and even humanist values.
In the context of large-scale disaster recovery, stress is normative.
This research contributes to an important yet overlooked theme in sustainability transitions scholarship: the role of normative deliberation in large-scale systemic change.
Recently, this methodology has been successfully applied to examine neonatal populations, defining normative patterns of large-scale neural network development in the maturing brain.
Table 6 compares the PedsQL™ 4.0 Generic Core Scales Parent Proxy-Report version 4.0 mean total scores in the current PROMIS large-scale survey caregiver population to the published normative values [ 29] stratified by gender and age group.
We demonstrate the utility of the CCS based upon a publicly available dataset, the NKI Rockland Sample, to delineate the normative trajectories of well-known large-scale neural networks across the natural life span (6 85 years of age).
Large-scale studies in clinical populations are needed to define normative relationships for this purpose.
Another important disadvantage is the current absence of well-validated and large-scale studies investigating neurobiological factors in individuals with antisocial behavior that might provide normative data.
