    Abstract Perceptual-motor sequences can be learned quickly under distraction, often demonstrated by the mean reaction time (RT) change in a serial reaction time (SRT) task. However, any arbitrary mean RT can arise from one of many distinct trial-by-trial RT patterns. It is surprising that previous sequence learning studies have hinged only on the mean RT metrics while little is known about the distraction effect on its trial-by-trial processes. In an SRT task with or without distraction, we found that initially learning a fixed repeating sequence without distraction was expressed by a micro-online learning process where reaction time (RT) progressively improved within learning blocks as adults continuously performed the SRT task. Such online RT improvements, however, vanished when the SRT task was performed under distraction. Despite the detrimental effect of distraction on micro-online RT improvements, we observed offline enhancements in RT following rest intervals of 3 min that emerged to secure sequence learning under distraction. We reasoned that distraction may exert influence on the micro-online and offline learning by mediating the engagement of explicit and implicit memory. Given the offline RT change under distraction, a short rest between learning blocks may be a key player in early perceptual-motor sequence learning under distraction. We thus suggest that future studies investigating the distraction effect on sequence learning need to control the length of rest between learning blocks, while previous research with equivocal interpretations of the distraction effect failed to do so.

  3. Article ; Online: School-based multidisciplinary student-led clinics in health and Australian accreditation standards: A scoping review.

    Maple, Myfanwy / O'Neill, Kristy / Gartshore, Scott / Clark, Jane / White, James / Pearce, Tania

    2023  Volume 31, Issue 6, Page(s) 1168–1183

    Abstract Introduction: Student-led clinics can provide health services to marginalised groups where service offerings are sparse or difficult to access, such as rural areas. Offering these services to children and young people can promote health and well-being by addressing the individual challenges and the social determinants of health. There is uncertainty, however, as to whether student-led clinics can meet Australian accreditation standards for health professionals completing degree programs.
    Objective: This study aims to determine the capacity for health student placements in school-based student-led clinics to meet accreditation standards.
    Design: A systematic scoping review was conducted based on Arksey and O'Malley's framework and the PRISMA-ScR statement.
    Setting: Several databases were examined, including Ebsco (Academic Source and CINAHL), ProQuest (PsycINFO, ERIC) and grey literature sources along with a desktop review of accreditation standards across seven health disciplines. Two independent reviewers screened eligible studies.
    Findings: The search retrieved 1037 records with 65 full-text papers assessed for eligibility. Eleven papers met the inclusion criteria. Based on the evidence, both nursing and exercise and sports science accreditation standards were best suited to student-led clinics.
    Discussion: Although broad categories of work-integrated learning activities were applied, it appears feasible to expect accreditation standards for health disciplines at an Australian university to be a good fit for health student-led school-based clinics.
    Conclusion: Increasing health student placement opportunities within student-led clinics can improve the health and well-being of children and young people in regional, rural and remote (RRR) areas of Australia who may otherwise have limited access to allied health services.

    Abstract This protocol describes a modified serial reaction time (SRT) task used to study implicit motor sequence learning. Unlike the classic SRT task that involves finger-pressing movements while sitting, the modified SRT task requires participants to step with both feet while maintaining a standing posture. This stepping task necessitates whole body actions that impose postural challenges. The foot-stepping task complements the classic SRT task in several ways. The foot-stepping SRT task is a better proxy for the daily activities that require ongoing postural control, and thus may help us better understand sequence learning in real-life situations. In addition, response time serves as an indicator of sequence learning in the classic SRT task, but it is unclear whether response time, reaction time (RT) representing mental process, or movement time (MT) reflecting the movement itself, is a key player in motor sequence learning. The foot-stepping SRT task allows researchers to disentangle response time into RT and MT, which may clarify how motor planning and movement execution are involved in sequence learning. Lastly, postural control and cognition are interactively related, but little is known about how postural control interacts with learning motor sequences. With a motion capture system, the movement of the whole body (e.g., the center of mass (COM)) can be recorded. Such measures allow us to reveal the dynamic processes underlying discrete responses measured by RT and MT, and may aid in elucidating the relationship between postural control and the explicit and implicit processes involved in sequence learning. Details of the experimental set-up, procedure, and data processing are described. The representative data are adopted from one of our previous studies. Results are related to response time, RT, and MT, as well as the relationship between the anticipatory postural response and the explicit processes involved in implicit motor sequence learning.

    Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex chronic pruritic skin disease in which helper T cell (TH2)-type cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 are key contributors in the inflammatory response. Debate still exists as to whether disease initiation is due to immune responses or barrier dysregulation. The disease course is divided into infantile, childhood, and adolescent/adult stages and exhibits an extensive clinical spectrum. Topical agents have been the mainstay of treatment in childhood AD. Phototherapy has been successful but is not always available. Although they are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some systemic immunomodulating agents are used for recalcitrant AD, but patients must be monitored closely for side effects. A considerable number of biologics currently are under investigation, as no FDA-approved treatments for moderate to severe childhood AD with responses appreciable to those of topical therapies currently exist. In 2017, dupilumab was approved by the FDA for treatment of moderate to severe AD in patients aged 18 years and older. We report the case of a 7-year-old boy who was treated with dupilumab off label for 17 weeks.

    Abstract Occam's razor proposes that the simplest solution is preferable; however, in the science of cancer and cancer symptoms, simple solutions have been elusive. Understanding individual symptoms continues to confound the science community, and symptom cluster science appears to be an incredibly complex schema of individual symptoms co-occurring and interacting with one another. The simplest explanation for symptom clusters would be a common underlying mechanism at the human genome level. Such a finding could greatly simplify and perhaps revolutionize symptom management.

    Abstract In this chapter, we ask two questions. First, can the study of the perception-action system across time offer a useful model for understanding motor development? Second, can the study of the perception-action system in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) inform our understanding of atypical as well as typical motor development? We begin by describing the dynamical systems perspective and a control-theoretic approach that together provide the conceptual framework for our paradigms, methodology, and interpretation of our experiments. Our experimental strategy has been to perturb one or more sensory systems and observe the effect on the motor system. The majority of the chapter explains how we employed two principal perturbation strategies: (1) removing or adding a static source of sensory information believed to be salient to the task at hand and (2) enhancing a dynamic source of sensory information either implicitly or explicitly. These strategies were employed in three different action systems: posture; rhythmic interlimb coordination, and goal-directed reaching and drawing. After synthesizing our findings, we conclude by addressing the original questions and offering future directions. In brief, we consider that perception-action coupling is an underlying mechanism/foundation/constraint of motor development in the sense that the ongoing processing of sensations and the planning and execution of movements are how the brain produces goal-directed movements. Therefore, a better understanding of how this coupling changes or adapts over time has much to offer as to how motor behavior develops across the lifespan, both typically and atypically.

    Abstract Viewing and Imaging the Solar System: A Guide for Amateur Astronomers is for those who want to develop their ability to observe and image Solar System objects, including the planets and moons, the Sun, and comets and asteroids. They might be beginners, or they may have already owned and used an astronomical telescope for a year or more. Newcomers are almost always wowed by sights such as the rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter, but have little idea how to find these objects for themselves (with the obvious exceptions of the Sun and Moon). They also need guidance about what equipment to use, besides a telescope. This book is written by an expert on the Solar System, who has had a lot of experience with outreach programs, which teach others how to make the most of relatively simple and low-cost equipment. That does not mean that this book is not for serious amateurs. On the contrary, it is designed to show amateur astronomers, in a relatively light-hearted-and math-free way-how to become serious
