The most important finding is that creative activity helps people stay healthy, said lead MBT Shoes
author John Mirowsky, a sociology professor with the Population Research Center at The University of Texas at Austin. Creative activity is non-routine, enjoyable and provides opportunity for learning and for solving problems. People who do that kind of work, whether paid or not, feel healthier and have fewer physical problems.Although people who work do give up some control over their daily activities, the study found that being employed leads to better health generally, regardless of the amount of creativity required in their work.One thing that surprised us was that the daily activities of employed persons are more creative than those of non-employed persons of the same sex, age and level of education, Mirowsky said.The study was composed of 2,592 adults who responded to a 1995 national telephone survey that was followed up in 1998. The survey MBT Lami
addressed general health and physical functioning, as well as how people spent their daily time on and whether their work, even if unpaid, gave them a chance to learn new things or do things they enjoy.The health advantage of being somewhat above average in creative work (in the 60th percentile) versus being somewhat below average (in the 40th percentile) is equal to being 6.7 years younger, Mirowsky said.It is also equal to having two more years of education or 15 times greater household income, he added.Although the authors didn't examine specific job positions that may confer this health advantage, professions considered not to involve a creative environment included those in which people work in assembly lines. Jobs that are high-status, with managerial authority, or that require complex work with data, generally provide more access to creative work, Mirowsky said.People with a wide variety of jobs manage to find ways to make them creative, Mirowsky said. And, people with higher levels of education tend to have more creative activities in their lives, paid or not. Notably MBT Lami Shoes

Brain abnormalities identified that result from prenatal methamphetamine exposure
We know that alcohol exposure is toxic to the developing fetus and can result in lifelong brain Language Software
, cognitive, and behavioral problems, said Elizabeth Sowell, PhD, of the University of California, Los Angeles, who led the research team. In this study, we show that the effects of prenatal meth exposure, or the combination of meth and alcohol exposure, may actually be worse. Our findings stress the importance of drug abuse treatment for pregnant women, Sowell said. A structure called the caudate nucleus, which is important for learning and memory, motor control, and motivation, was one of the regions more reduced by meth than alcohol exposure.Of the more than 16 million Americans over the age of 12 who have used meth, about 19,000 are pregnant women, according to data from the National Surveys on Drug Use and Health. About half of women who say they used meth during pregnancy also used alcohol, so isolating the effects of meth on the developing brain is difficult.Sowell's team evaluated the specific effects of prenatal meth-exposure by comparing brain scans of 61 children: 21 with prenatal meth and alcohol exposure, 13 with heavy alcohol exposure only, and 27 unexposed. Structural Rosetta Stone English Software
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that the sizes and shapes of certain brain structures varied depending on prenatal drug exposure.Previous studies have shown that certain brain structures are smaller in alcohol-exposed children. In this study, the authors found these brain regions in meth-exposed children were similar to the alcohol-exposed children, and in some areas were smaller still. Some brain regions were larger than normal. An abnormal volume increase was noted in meth-exposed children in a region called the cingulate cortex, which is associated with control and conflict resolution.The researchers were also able to predict a child's past exposure to drugs based on brain images and IQ information. Detailed data about vulnerable brain structures may eventually be used to diagnose children with cognitive or behavioral problems but without well-documented histories of drug exposure. Christian Beaulieu, PhD, of the University of Alberta in Canada, who was unaffiliated with the study, said this finding will help researchers understand which brain areas are most sensitive to injury during development.Ultimately, the goal would be to come up with strategies to first, minimize brain damage in the womb, and second, to improve the child's cognitive performance, Beaulieu said.The research was supported by the National Institute Rosetta Stone French Software
of Drug Abuse, the National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse, and the March of Dimes. Additional support was provided by the National Center on Research Resources, the General Clinical Research Center, the National Institutes of Health through the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, and the Center for Computational Biology.

Important Clue To Learning Deficit In Children With Autism
The study was conducted using high-technology eye-tracking headgear and software that measures with Cheap Mbt Shoes
precision the point at which a child is looking when learning a task. Researchers used an actor to demonstrate a task on a computer screen.We found that the children with autism focused on the demonstrator's action and looked at the demonstrator's face much less often than did typically developing children, said Giacomo Vivanti, a postdoctoral researcher at the M.I.N.D. Institute and the study's lead author. The typically developing children may be looking at the demonstrator's face to check for information on what to do or how to respond appropriately, information that the children with autism are less inclined to seek. This is an important finding, because children with autism have difficulty learning from others. This might be one key to why that is so, Vivanti said.Imitation plays an important role in how children learn, as well as in how people interact socially, said M.I.N.D. Institute researcher and senior study author Sally J. Rogers, who has been studying imitation impairment and autism for more than 20 years. This is a trait we see as early as we can diagnose autism, and it's one of the traits that is present even in mildly impaired adults, Rogers said.Impaired imitation leads to additional impairments in sharing emotions, pretend play, pragmatic communication and understanding the emotional states of others. For years, scientists thought that children with autism and related disorders had trouble with learning through imitation because they had poor motor skills or because they did not pay attention to the action being performed. The current study rules out these hypotheses.We now understand more about how this imitation deficit might be working and, after more study, we may actually be able to address it in a way that helps children with autism develop a more natural set of behaviors, said Rogers, a UC Davis professor of psychiatry and MBT Kisumu shoes sale
behavioral sciences.In the current study, which was published online in June and will appear in print in November in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 18 children aged 8 to 15 with high-functioning autism were carefully matched with a group of 13 typically developing children. While wearing special eye-tracking headgear, the children were shown video clips that ranged from seven to 19 seconds in length. After viewing each clip, the children performed the demonstrated action.The results confirm previous research that shows that children with autism have difficulty imitating tasks when compared to normally developing children. It also showed that children with autism paid just as much attention to the action being performed as the other children in the study, ruling out previous hypotheses about poor attention to the task.This finding is particularly important, Rogers said. Now we can rule out this variable. We know these children are looking at the task.Researchers also found that successful performance of a task by children with autism increases with the amount of time they study it but is not correlated with their basic motor skills, ruling out the possibility that it is a lack of motor ability causing the imitation effect.Finally, the study showed that both groups of children shifted their attention from the action to the demonstrator's face, but the children with autism did this much less often.According to Rogers, this finding suggests that imitation is not just about repeating an action, but understanding the reason for the action.That information is conveyed in our faces, she explained.Rogers and Vivanti are continuing to try to understand how this difference in looking at faces affects more complex forms of learning and understanding.We are looking at how children look at emotions and intentions that are conveyed in a demonstrator's MBT Kisumu2 shoes sale
face and how looking at this information in faces or not looking at them may affect how they understand and imitate the observed actions, Vivanti said.Based on these studies, Vivanti and Rogers hope to one day develop studies aimed at determining whether or not face-looking is an important part of the imitation process. It could be that if people with autism could be better at reading emotion they might naturally start to imitate their models the way like other people do, Rogers said. If it's about how people understand the information in a face, then it gives you a target for intervention.

Esl Vs. Bilingual Teaching
Despite what it might appear at first glance, ESL (English as a Second Language) and Christian Louboutin wholesale
bilingual teaching are quite different. They both involve learning English, but this is where the similarities stop. This article will examine both types of education.ESLEnglish as a Second Language training is based around bringing a student up to speed in English. It usually involves classes that are related only to the subject of the English language and is almost always carried out in that language. This is probably the fastest method of learning English since it requires almost total immersion for the period of the class, causing the student to start thinking in the language he or she is learning. ESL classes may be carried out one on one, in small groups or in a proper classroom setting with up to 50 students sitting in. Depending on the language level of the students, the teacher will offer instruction and examples of each part of speech. A large part of early lessons usually includes vocabulary to help students reach the point where they can actively participate in discussions.Part of the reason ESL classes are so popular is because they are almost entirely taught in English, forcing the students to learn the language if they want to continue. It is focused specifically on learning English and no other subjects are involved. However, some students do have difficulty with this total immersion method because they are unable to understand enough and get frustrated easily. It depends on the student, but some people are simply better suited to bilingual teaching. Bilingual TeachingIn some schools, bilingual teaching is offered. This usually means that Christian Louboutin Flats sale
all classes can be taken in two different languages. These can be any two languages, but one is often English while the other will be the local language. For example, in Guatemala, a bilingual educational center will offer classes that are taught both in the student's native Spanish and also in English. Bilingual teaching can be useful because it allows students to use English in the context of a normal class. They will use a wider range of vocabulary since they are using it in Science, History and Math classes. Also, for anyone who has difficulties with the English part of the course, there is always a translation available to help them out.There are downsides to this method of learning, of course. Since there is the native language option, some students simply won't learn any English. Also, there can be an overall slowdown in the education of students if they aren't able to understand the instructions and tests that are given in their newest language. While this might help them learn English, the delays in other areas of education need to be considered, as well. This type of position is best suited to individuals who are native English speakers and who have a good grasp of the local language, as well. It's not usually necessary to be 100% fluent, but you will certainly need to make yourself understood..ESL is usually the most efficient method of learning English for students who are willing to put in some effort and work hard. However, some people will definitely find it easier to learn in a bilingual setting where they can have the lessons explained to them Cheap Christian Louboutin Pumps
in their own language as well. This will slow the learning process drastically, but can be useful for students who need that extra boost.
bilingual teaching are quite different. They both involve learning English, but this is where the similarities stop. This article will examine both types of education.ESLEnglish as a Second Language training is based around bringing a student up to speed in English. It usually involves classes that are related only to the subject of the English language and is almost always carried out in that language. This is probably the fastest method of learning English since it requires almost total immersion for the period of the class, causing the student to start thinking in the language he or she is learning. ESL classes may be carried out one on one, in small groups or in a proper classroom setting with up to 50 students sitting in. Depending on the language level of the students, the teacher will offer instruction and examples of each part of speech. A large part of early lessons usually includes vocabulary to help students reach the point where they can actively participate in discussions.Part of the reason ESL classes are so popular is because they are almost entirely taught in English, forcing the students to learn the language if they want to continue. It is focused specifically on learning English and no other subjects are involved. However, some students do have difficulty with this total immersion method because they are unable to understand enough and get frustrated easily. It depends on the student, but some people are simply better suited to bilingual teaching. Bilingual TeachingIn some schools, bilingual teaching is offered. This usually means that Christian Louboutin Flats sale
all classes can be taken in two different languages. These can be any two languages, but one is often English while the other will be the local language. For example, in Guatemala, a bilingual educational center will offer classes that are taught both in the student's native Spanish and also in English. Bilingual teaching can be useful because it allows students to use English in the context of a normal class. They will use a wider range of vocabulary since they are using it in Science, History and Math classes. Also, for anyone who has difficulties with the English part of the course, there is always a translation available to help them out.There are downsides to this method of learning, of course. Since there is the native language option, some students simply won't learn any English. Also, there can be an overall slowdown in the education of students if they aren't able to understand the instructions and tests that are given in their newest language. While this might help them learn English, the delays in other areas of education need to be considered, as well.

Or in Kenya, the entire family can discover a bit of Swahili while watching and listening to the mass migration of the wildebeests in Kenya. Listening to the sounds of the rainforest or sleeping beneath the stars on safari is certain to be more attractive for both parents and children than a third vacation to Disneyland.American's fiftieth state, Hawaii, also offers sun, sand and water in plenty, and tourists young and old pack to the islands every year to experience some of the natural abundance.

Kids can even collect some volcanic rock back home for a souvenir.numerous children and adults also discover trips to Eastern cities, such Christian Louboutin Flats
as Beijing, Seoul or Bangkok, fun adventures, and travelers young and old are seeking the East in increasing numbers. Seeing the Great Wall or the Terracotta Warriors of Xian in person is ten times more memorable than a trip to Epcot, and kids can hear about different types of cultures in person experiencing first-hand different types of foods, different money, and a different way of life. Trips to the East can be surprisingly economical with the airplane flight commonly being the most high-priced part of the trip. entrance to the country, though, may require passports or a visa, so planning your trip sufficiently ahead of time is critically important.Soaking up the sun, playing in the sand, and swimming in deep blue water, such activities hold massive appeal for countless families. Reachable by either plane or ship, the Caribbean offers a number of island vacation options that will have sun, sand and water in abundance. Jamaica, for instance, possesses a natural beauty that can be breathtaking in its grandeur and immensity.

Children can swim and hike to their hearts' content, while parents can lend an ear to reggae and sip rum.

The air is thick, smoggy and hot
People taking time of work due to problems such as heat/sun stroke, problems with dehydration Christian Louboutin Sale
or people generally taking days off to go to the beach. Add to that, everything in Italy slows down. The Italians are well-known for being “laid-back” and “easy with time”, but the truth is that in the summer months, it's hard to get anything done. I know that I personally find it difficult to move some days without finding myself “glowing”. Older people in Italy are told to visit supermarkets and shopping centers to help them cool down. Last year I found myself looking forward to going to a well-known Italian meat supermarket, simply because the entire store is a freezer. The only problem was, I'd feel sick as soon as I stepped outdoors, as it was like jumping from Scotland to Italy. The heat, after the extreme cool, was thick and choking. Driving your car can be a nightmare, anywhere from not being able to plug in your seat belt or touch the steering wheel because they have been heated to melting point; to getting stuck in hot, sticky, airless traffic jams. Weeds and bushes on the sides of the road have been known to set on fire, by a combination of the sun drying them out and the heat from the tarred roads setting them alight. Occasionally there are problems with power-outages in homes and shops, because the generators, wires or transition boxes have overheated. Or how do you feel about brushing your teeth in hot water? The pros of course... if like me you are to tight-pursed that you refuse to fork out for air-conditioning, your power bill in the summer months can decrease to almost nothing in Italy. Unlike the old cold summers I used to endure Christian Louboutin Boots
when I lived in Scotland, there's no need to have your water heater on all day to take a shower or wash the dishes. No need for heating or lights on all day thanks to the light and heat of the sun. And finally, my personal favourites, you can put away your winter duvet at nights and enjoy the reduced quantity of laundry, thanks to the fact you wear less clothes and used less bed linen.Now in 2007. This year, June was HOT. Very hot. By far, warmer than last year, but it followed a very wet April and May. July has been up and down. I am lucky to live north of Italy in the mountains where we get some breeze; but on a trip to the south of Rome (where I used to live also), to visit friends a few weeks ago, I realised just how lucky I really am. The change in temperature from the north to the south was uncanny. There was literally a 5-10 degree drop that day between my home in the north and my friends in the south. More shocking to me, was the change in air. Being situated in the countryside here in the north, higher up and surrounded by fields and trees etc. our air is fresh and soft on the nose and throat (terrible for any one with Hay-fever, but none the less a good clean air. In the south however; my friends live in a reasonably built up area, even the countryside full of houses and small repair garages and abandoned buildings. The air is thick, smoggy and hot. My father, on a trip to visit, once described it as holding a hair dryer in front of your face and I cannot think of a better explanation.I cannot determine whether the increase in the temperature within Italy, or the effects; are caused by Global warming, or if we are quite simply receiving a freak weather change; but as an expat in Rome, I can say that the weather change is certainly noticeable. As for Cheap Christian Louboutin Flats
the effects, well I could be right I could be wrong, I cannot know, but I would like to hope that tourism and peoples desires to visit hotter countries such as Italy will not be affected too much, as Italy is a truly beautiful country to visit and with so much to enjoy and such easy access to low cost flights and airports and with the ease of self-booking thanks to teletext and the Internet; it would be a shame for the weather to spoil it all.

They include:Investigating sites: There are a lot of places to start trading stocks online. Some of these Internet sites are quite reputable, easy to use and bring to the table very little risk in and of themselves. However, since financial information will be transmitted over the Internet, it's a good idea for potential investors to do a little research about the sites themselves before choosing one. Things to consider here include reputation of the company hosting the service, the built in security, the pricing involved in transactions and even the advice available for investors - especially ones new to the Christian Louboutin Men Shoes

Team Accelerates Investigation of Immune-Related Genes
A cluster of nearly 220 genes known as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)gene Louboutin Heels
complex holds clues to many unsolved medical questions: why dotransplants sometimes fail despite close donor-recipient matches? Whatmakes certain people more susceptible to specific diseases? Why do vaccinesprotect some individuals better than others? In search of the answers, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is headingan initiative to catalog the HLA gene complex and explore its differencesamong populations worldwide. Nearly $20 million over five years will go tothe International Histocompatibility Working Group (IHWG), a network ofalmost 200 laboratories in more than 70 countries, to set up a centralizedHLA gene database and develop new and improved tools to decipher thisgenetic Rosetta Stone of immunology. "The HLA gene complex comprises the most diverse and variable region in thehuman genome," explains Anthony S. Fauci, M.D director of the NationalInstitute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is the project'slead sponsor. "Knowledge about its diversity and how these genes directimmune responses could improve our ability to predict, diagnose and treatimmune-mediated disorders and infectious diseases." John A. Hansen, M.D at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC)in Seattle, will head the project. According to Dr. Hansen, head of FHCRC'sHuman Immunogenetics Program and a professor of medicine at the Universityof Washington, the project could have immediate clinical benefits, forexample, for finding better matches for bone marrow transplant recipients. "But the potential impact of these new studies goes way beyondimmunogenetics," says Dr. Hansen. "This project will apply recent advancesin genome technology to important questions about specific diseases and helpexplain how the rich genetic differences in HLA among individuals can eitherstrengthen the immune Buy Christian Louboutin Sandals
response or open the door to autoimmune disease andinfection." The HLA gene complex, known more generally as the major histocompatibilitycomplex (MHC), is responsible for encoding proteins that stud the surface ofthe body's cells, marking them as our own. Anything not marked as "self"can come under attack from the immune system. This includes foreign mattersuch as viruses and bacteria as well as cancerous cells and transplantedtissue. Even organs from a close blood relative can display very differentHLA markers due to the underlying distinctions within each individual's HLAgene complex; a perfect HLA-type match exists only between identical twins. The effectiveness of a person's immune defenses for detecting and destroyingtrespasser antigens depends largely on his or her HLA gene complex.Similarly, these genes are suspected of playing a role when the immunesystem mistakenly targets the body's own cells as foreign, which is the casewith autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritisand type 1 diabetes. The IHWG will accelerate investigations seeking todiscover the fundamental mechanics of how HLA genes direct beneficial andharmful immune responses. "The IHWG represents more than 30 years of collaborative research among theworld's leading scientists in population-based genetics," says DanielRotrosen, M.D director of NIAID's Division of Allergy, Immunology andTransplantation. "Its extensive international network of laboratories willcontribute significantly to NIAID's efforts to address the global healthproblems caused by infectious and immune-mediated diseases." A primary goal of the IHWG is to create a searchable HLA database linkingmultiple interacting genes with function, ethnicity and disease. A morecentralized database will make it easier for scientists to find andcontribute new data. It also Cheap Christian Louboutin Overknee Boots
will help clinical investigators use theinformation as a platform for future research on immune-mediated diseases.

Educational Technology & Society
IntroductionVideo games have become ubiquitous in contemporary adolescent Christian Louboutin Shoes
culture. Perhaps unaware that they are doing so, children playing video games are learning skills that can be transferred into practical learning situations. For example, computer-game play can improve spatial skills such as spatial orientation, mental rotation, and spatial visualization (Larish & Andersen, 1995; Okagaki & Frensch, 1994; Greenfield, 1994); develop attention-dividing strategies (Greenfield, deWinstanley, Kilpatrick, & Kaye, 1994); improve spatial integration skills (Greenfield, 1993); and improve understanding of iconic languages (Greenfield, Camaioni et al., 1994). While building spatial visualization can aid gamers in computer-game play, those skills may also aid students in improving reading comprehension. Comprehension of a text is not only parsing of words and sentences, but is also constructing a situation model of the story (Zwaan, Radvansky, Hilliard, & Curiel 1998). Reading is quite complex; readers must create and update the situation model along five dimensions: temporal, spatial, protagonist, causal, and intentionality (Zwann et al., 1995). The spatial dimension is typically hardest for readers (Hakala, 1999; O'Brien & Albrect, 1992). Yet spatial understanding is crucial to a host of disciplines (Casey, Nuttall, Pezaris, & Benbow, 1995; Humphreys, Lubinski, & Yao, 1993; Pribyl & Bodner, 1987). Evaluating the relative strengths of priming activities designed to stimulate the creation of the situation model prior to reading is an important area for empirical study as it can inform design of multimedia materials for education.Readers who study a map prior to reading have better retention of material than readers who study the map after reading (Kulhavy & Stock, 1996). This may be the result of priming the spatial dimension of the reader's situation model prior to reading. For example, icons on the map activate both visuospatial and semantic networks that facilitate comprehension of spatial sentences in the text. It could be that some of the hand-eye activities of computer-game interaction (if they involve maps or other visuospatial stimuli) might initiate an even greater priming of the readers' spatial situation models, as computer-game interaction involves both visual and kinesthetic encoding. Understanding how readers create spatial mental models is essential for instructional designers. It is also an important design factor for new interactive book technologies, such as the interactive map-book (patent pending), which combines hardcopy books with Christian Louboutin Boots
paper-based computer games (via pen-top computers such as LeapFrog's FlyPen and microdot paper) in such a way that readers must complete the paper-based computer games to read further (Smith, 2008). The purpose of this study is to explore to what extent adding interactivity to the reading experience will improve the reader's ability to form their spatial situation models.Literature reviewOne of the fundamental abilities that education attempts to impart to students is the ability to read, and yet many children leave the school systems with only a basic level of reading (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004; Strommen & Mates, 2004). Apparently in the United States, reading instruction does not result in students' acquisition of high-level comprehension (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004; RAND Education, 2005). According to Leonhardt (1998), "The sophisticated skills demanded by high-level academic or professional work--the ability to understand multiple plots or complex issues, a sensitivity to tone, the expertise to know immediately what is crucial to a text and what can be skimmed--can be acquired only through years of avid reading" (p. 29). The ability to read skillfully remains important in the digital age. Although multimedia abounds on the Internet, much of the information available in the digital age is still textual. Krashen (1993) argues that while free voluntary reading (FVR) is not sufficient for higher-level reading skills, developing these skills without FVR is impossible. Krashen also suggests that when children get "hooked on books" that "they acquire, involuntarily ... nearly all of the ... language skills many people are so concerned about" (p. 124). Unfortunately, the steady decline in reading among adolescents (National Endowment for the Arts, 2007) combined with the decline of reading comprehension has resulted in a culture of students who never become "hooked on books" (Krashen, 1993, p. 124) and are losing the ability to understand what they have read.According to the most empirically supported theoretical model, readers process text at three levels: the surface code, textbase, and situation model (van Dijk & Kintsch, 1983; Graesser, Mills & Zwaan, 1997). The surface code is the verbatim wording of the text. The textbase is Christian Louboutin Tall Boots

For example, computer-game play can improve spatial skills such as spatial orientation, mental rotation, and spatial visualization (Larish & Andersen, 1995; Okagaki & Frensch, 1994; Greenfield, 1994); develop attention-dividing strategies (Greenfield, deWinstanley, Kilpatrick, & Kaye, 1994); improve spatial integration skills (Greenfield, 1993); and improve understanding of iconic languages (Greenfield, Camaioni et al., 1994). While building spatial visualization can aid gamers in computer-game play, those skills may also aid students in improving reading comprehension. Comprehension of a text is not only parsing of words and sentences, but is also constructing a situation model of the story (Zwaan, Radvansky, Hilliard, & Curiel 1998). Reading is quite complex; readers must create and update the situation model along five dimensions: temporal, spatial, protagonist, causal, and intentionality (Zwann et al., 1995). The spatial dimension is typically hardest for readers (Hakala, 1999; O'Brien & Albrect, 1992). Yet spatial understanding is crucial to a host of disciplines (Casey, Nuttall, Pezaris, & Benbow, 1995; Humphreys, Lubinski, & Yao, 1993; Pribyl & Bodner, 1987). Evaluating the relative strengths of priming activities designed to stimulate the creation of the situation model prior to reading is an important area for empirical study as it can inform design of multimedia materials for education.Readers who study a map prior to reading have better retention of material than readers who study the map after reading (Kulhavy & Stock, 1996). This may be the result of priming the spatial dimension of the reader's situation model prior to reading. For example, icons on the map activate both visuospatial and semantic networks that facilitate comprehension of spatial sentences in the text. It could be that some of the hand-eye activities of computer-game interaction (if they involve maps or other visuospatial stimuli) might initiate an even greater priming of the readers' spatial situation models, as computer-game interaction involves both visual and kinesthetic encoding. Understanding how readers create spatial mental models is essential for instructional designers. It is also an important design factor for new interactive book technologies, such as the interactive map-book (patent pending), which combines hardcopy books with Christian Louboutin Boots
paper-based computer games (via pen-top computers such as LeapFrog's FlyPen and microdot paper) in such a way that readers must complete the paper-based computer games to read further (Smith, 2008). The purpose of this study is to explore to what extent adding interactivity to the reading experience will improve the reader's ability to form their spatial situation models.Literature reviewOne of the fundamental abilities that education attempts to impart to students is the ability to read, and yet many children leave the school systems with only a basic level of reading (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004; Strommen & Mates, 2004). Apparently in the United States, reading instruction does not result in students' acquisition of high-level comprehension (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004; RAND Education, 2005). According to Leonhardt (1998), "The sophisticated skills demanded by high-level academic or professional work--the ability to understand multiple plots or complex issues, a sensitivity to tone, the expertise to know immediately what is crucial to a text and what can be skimmed--can be acquired only through years of avid reading" (p. 29). The ability to read skillfully remains important in the digital age. Although multimedia abounds on the Internet, much of the information available in the digital age is still textual. Krashen (1993) argues that while free voluntary reading (FVR) is not sufficient for higher-level reading skills, developing these skills without FVR is impossible. Krashen also suggests that when children get "hooked on books" that "they acquire, involuntarily ... nearly all of the ... language skills many people are so concerned about" (p. 124). Unfortunately, the steady decline in reading among adolescents (National Endowment for the Arts, 2007) combined with the decline of reading comprehension has resulted in a culture of students who never become "hooked on books" (Krashen, 1993, p. 124) and are losing the ability to understand what they have read.According to the most empirically supported theoretical model, readers process text at three levels: the surface code, textbase, and situation model (van Dijk & Kintsch, 1983; Graesser, Mills & Zwaan, 1997). The surface code is the verbatim wording of the text. The textbase is Christian Louboutin Tall Boots
