Cook, Mark S.; Kernahan, Peter J. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2017
Cadaveric simulations are an effective way to add clinical context to an anatomy course. In this study, unembalmed (fresh) cadavers were uniquely prepared to simulate pleural effusion to teach chest percussion and review thoracic anatomy. Thirty first-year medical students were assigned to either an intervention (Group A) or control group (Group…

Biswas, Tanu – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2021
Customarily, reflections on the need to educate sensory and bodily enactments with the world, take for granted that it is the child who must be educated. However, the educational passage of becoming 'rational' and 'grown up' often leaves the adult divorced from her own embodied self. As part of my engagement with childism (conf. Wall in Ethics in…

Wandersman, Abraham; Alia, Kassandra; Cook, Brittany S.; Hsu, Lewis L.; Ramaswamy, Rohit – American Journal of Evaluation, 2016
Many evaluations of programs tend to show few outcomes. One solution to this has been an increasing prominence of the movement that requires programs to implement evidence-based interventions (EBIs). But in a complex world with complex organizations and complex interventions, many challenges have arisen to the implementation of EBIs with fidelity…

Timmis, Ivor – Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching, 2016
In this article, I argue that the most important thing about coursebook dialogues is not whether they are "authentic" or "inauthentic" but whether they are "plausible" as human interaction and behaviour. Coursebook dialogues are often constructed as vehicles for various kinds of language work and even sometimes as…

Cook, Richard; Dickinson, Anthony; Heyes, Cecilia – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2012
Automatic imitation--the unintended copying of observed actions--is thought to be a behavioral product of the mirror neuron system (MNS). Evidence that the MNS develops through associative learning comes from previous research showing that automatic imitation is attenuated by countermirror training, in which the observation of one action is paired…

Andres De Los Reyes; Elizabeth Talbott; Thomas J. Power; Jeremy J. Michel; Clayton R. Cook; Sarah J. Racz; Olivia Fitzpatrick – Grantee Submission, 2021
Over 60 years of research reveal that informants who observe youth in clinically relevant contexts (e.g., home, school)--typically parents, teachers, and youth clients themselves--often hold discrepant views about that client's needs for mental health services (i.e., "informant discrepancies"). The last 10 years of research reveal that…

Grierson, Lawrence E. M. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2014
Much has been made in the recent medical education literature of the incorrect characterization of simulation along a continuum of low to high fidelity (Cook et al. "JAMA" 306(9): 978-988, 2011; Norman et al. "Med Educ" 46(7): 636-647, 2012; Teteris et al. "Adv Health Sci Educ" 17(1): 137-144, 2012). For the most…

Although developmental science has always been evolving, these times of fast-paced and profound social and scientific changes easily lead to disorienting fragmentation rather than coherent scientific advances. What directions should developmental science pursue to meaningfully address real-world problems that impact human development throughout…

Boyd, Josh – Communication Teacher, 2010
Ideally, college classes are small. Kilgore and Cook (2007) observed that large class size can be an obstacle to good teaching. However, there is financial and human resource value in delivering quality course content in large lectures. Consequently, large lecture classes are a fundamental part of the undergraduate student experience at many…
