This paper examines the sources of stress and the effects of managing challenging behaviour on principals of special schools in Ireland, including schools for pupils with an intellectual disability, emotional disturbance, specific learning disability and physical and sensory disability, and children of ...
After controlling for initial level of challenging behaviour, greater reductions in challenging behaviour during attendance at the school were observed for children who: prior to entry were living at home; who did not have epilepsy; or who attended the school at a younger age. After leaving ...
The Functional Assessment of Challenging Behaviour: A Comparison of Informant-based, Experimental and Descriptive Methods The function of 121 challenging behaviours displayed by 20 people with severe intellectual disabilities was assessed using informant-based, experimental an...

First, regarding assessment, whereas cognitive skills can be directly measured by tests of domain-specific or general cognitive performance, non-cognitive skills are more challenging to capture16,17. There is little agreement on what non-cognitive skills to measure. Some researchers focus on personalit...
Tomato ketchup was used to measure the effect of visual texture (and hence flavour expectations) on oral-somatosensory texture perception when the ketchup was sampled by participants. Note that sauces represent a texture that is particularly difficult/challenging to add an AR marker to. Nevertheless,...
Gaze input in the context of games proves to be an interesting and challenging field. One research area is the integration of gaze interaction into the game interface (diegetic/virtual approach) and its effects on players. In order to address this issue we conducted an experimental study consisti...
Boulder placement is a common method to restore degraded instream habitats by enhancing habitat complexity. This experimental study is the foremost attempt to systematically investigate the influence of rock-ramp boulder placement with varying boulder concentration and flow rate on habitat hydraulic complexi...
52. In the current study we made the auditory task challenging by introducing distortions to resemble hearing through a cochlear implant (noise-vocoding30,53), presenting the sentences with background speech noise and in addition using a non-native language of the participants. Several studies have...
