This task requires mothers carefully manage their own frame of mind, making them the primary target of efforts at the modification of "parental thought and behavior" by Chinese childrearing experts (Kuan 2015 107).
Second, unlike adult therapy, which involves the rational modification of thoughts, cognitive behavioral therapy for children focusing on cognition is more concerned with teaching appropriate skills and applying certain techniques.
Executive functions describe a wide variety of higher order cognitive processes that allow the flexible modification of thought and behaviour in response to changing cognitive or environmental contexts.
Executive functions describe a wide variety of higher order cognitive processes that allow the flexible modification of thought and behaviour in response to changing cognitive or environmental contexts (Stuss, 1992; Rabbitt, 1997).
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Gannon and colleagues create genetically engineered mice to test the role phosphorylation plays in the modification of one serine long thought to play a critical role in controlling the activity of MDM2, one of p53's main negative regulators.
This study examines the added value of pre-operative cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focused on modification of thoughts and behaviors in terms of eating behavior and physical exercise as well as preparation for surgery and postoperative life style.
Different to the conventional thoughts that the modification of boiling heat transfer is the result of solid surface modification by particle sedimentations forming a porous or coating layer, the result suggests that both the particle deposition effect, and the collective effect of particles suspending in liquid could affect the boiling heat transfer significantly.
Unlike standard CBT, where the focus is on changing the content of thoughts, MBCT's focus is on fostering meta-cognitive awareness and the modification of meta-cognitive processes that maintain unhelpful reactive or ruminative mind states.
Furthermore, we can not ignore the fact that brain processing mechanisms in the modification of emotions and behaviors, such as the activation of the left frontal pole related to positive thoughts and approximation behaviors, and the activation of the right frontal pole which is related to negative thoughts and avoidance behaviors.
