![]() I will start by describing three major categories of word recognition models: the word shape model, and serial and parallel models of letter recognition. Most papers are widely available at academic libraries. If you want more details on an experiment, all of the references are at the end of the paper as well as suggested readings for those interested in more information on some topics. Along the way I will present experiments and models that I couldn't hope to cover completely without boring the reader. This paper will cover many topics in relatively few pages. The goal of this paper is to review the history of why psychologists moved from a word shape model of word recognition to a letter recognition model, and to help others to come to the same conclusion. This paper was originally presented as a talk at the ATypI conference in Vancouver in September, 2003. The data from dozens of experiments all come from peer reviewed journals where the experiments are well specified so that anyone could reproduce the experiment and expect to achieve the same result. This paper is written from the perspective of a reading psychologist. There I learned to my chagrin that we recognize words from their word shape and that "Modern psychologists call this image the 'Bouma shape.'" The term bouma appears in Paul Saenger's 1997 book Space Between Words: The Origins of Silent Reading. Some have used the term bouma as a synonym for word shape, though I was unfamiliar with the term. ![]() Many typographers and other text enthusiasts I've met insist that words are recognized by the outline made around the word shape. ![]() ![]() Evidence from the last 20 years of work in cognitive psychology indicate that we use the letters within a word to recognize a word. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What the vast majority of scientists, paediatricians and psychologists now agree on is that harsh parenting tactics and corporal punishment, including spanking or "smacking", are unhelpful – and can cause harm to the child even when parents think the spanking is mild and justified. This peaks in toddlerhood, after which children start to use tactics like negotiation to get what they want – underscoring the idea that in younger children, at least, disobedience and pushing limits is a part of normal development.īut what does the science say about how to respond? And is there really a way to guide children towards kind, thoughtful, cooperative behaviour that doesn't involve punishment at all, as some experts argue? Anywhere from 25% to 65% of parents say that their children are at least sometimes noncompliant, with 1% to 9% saying this is a frequent or severe problem. One thing we know is that every caregiver will, at some stage, find themselves dealing with a child not doing as they're told. One Unicef report found that more than 90% of children in countries including Ghana and Egypt have experienced either physical or psychological aggression as forms of discipline in the last month. In other societies, parents take a harsher approach. Instead of punishments, there are intricate, unspoken rules and communal activities that nudge children towards desired behaviour, such as going hunting or fishing together. The Sámi, an indigenous group spread across the Arctic, espouse a similar parenting philosophy, letting children make their own decisions about even when to eat and sleep. Rather than with rewards or punishments, children learn how to behave "through trial and error over a period of years". Other Aboriginal approaches to discipline include the idea that "the child has the ultimate choice to obey or not and adults are not overly upset if the command is not complied with". "The Anbarra child hears of no rules and receives no punishment," one anthropologist noted of the Aboriginal tribe. Whether we think discipline is needed at all is also situational, depending even on which rules we set: a three-year-old told not to leave the playroom is more likely to "disobey", for example, than a three-year-old who is allowed to come in and out as she pleases.Įven beliefs that are a no-brainer in some societies are unusual in others. Our beliefs around discipline have been shaped by our culture, the attitudes of those around us, how we were raised, even our current stress levels. ![]() Like any parenting decision – from whether to sleep train to the dilemma of screen time – how we discipline (or "teach") our children is deeply personal. "Parents say, 'Parents should be good disciplinarians.' We go, 'Yes – and a disciplinarian is a teacher.'" He points out that the word "discipline" comes from the Latin word disciplina – which means instruction or teaching. "The word 'discipline' has been misconstrued as 'punishment', meaning inflicting pain as a consequence of doing something," says Dan Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and the author of six books on parenting, including No-Drama Discipline. Do you give a time out? Threaten to take away privileges? Negotiate? Or do you follow the approach being promulgated by an increasing number of advocates, which holds that connecting with a child in their moment of distress, not punishing them, leads to calmer, better-behaved, and emotionally more in-tune kids? If the frustration of the moment itself weren’t enough, there’s the difficulty of how to respond. Your 12-year-old refuses to set the table, storming off to her room and slamming the door.Īsk any parent, and they’ll tell you that dealing with situations like these can be among the most challenging – and common – parts of parenting. ![]() Your pre-schooler needles you at the store, whining that he really wants that sweet.

Let’s start with: Pinball Arcade: FarSight StudiosĪ minor gripe, right out of the gate: I started checking my sound settings when I first opened up this title: I imagine that the tinniness in FarSight’s musical send-up of the Who‘s Tommy is deliberate, and meant to invoke a sense of the gaming technology of yesteryear. In this article, I’ve taken three tables from each franchise for a spin to see how they hold up on the PS4. I’ve played the PS3 versions of most of the tables available for both games. Though review will focus on the PlayStation 4 versions, most versions I have sampled are functionally similar, if not identical. ![]() Please to be noting: Pinball Arcade and Zen Pinball 2 have existed on just about every platform imaginable up to this point (with the OUYA version of the former also being added recently). The pinball physics are just as solid as they are in Pinball Arcade, but they also serve up eye-popping visual effects that you just wouldn’t see in a real cabinet. Or maybe you love the idea of pinball, but you also enjoy a well-crafted virtual pinball experience? Zen Pinball 2 offers up dozens of original fantasy tables. Combining a second-to-none physics engine and a keen eye for the most minute of details, FarSight Studios delivers faithful recreations of some of pinball’s greatest cabinets in Pinball Arcade. Take heart: The days of sub-par digital renderings of your favorite tables are officially ancient history. Pinball cabinets in good condition are prohibitively expensive, and while I’ve dabbled with some of the MAME versions, even the best of them don’t quite capture the magic. Of all the luxury items found on my “I just won the lottery” list, a pristine pinball cabinet appears in my top three. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sunbelt’s extensive fleet exceeds and includes general construction equipment, industrial tools, pumps, power & HVAC, trench shoring, scaffolding, remediation & restoration equipment, and more.

Most one-hour series work within the realm of drama, thriller, science fiction, or fantasy genres. One-Hour Television Drama Structure and Format Whether it be Arc Studio Pro or one of the other equivalents, the software will do most of the work for you, from a formatting standpoint. A majority of the industry screenwriting software will provide the proper templates for all forms of television episodes, as well as features obviously. You don’t need to buy television specific software. Once you decide what you want to write, get your first draft out in 5 weeks with this guide. With television, because of that condensed time per TV or streaming channel slot (thirty minutes to an hour), a story’s conflict is compacted to fit within that time slot. The differences lie within some of the general aesthetics of the format, as well as the way a story is structured. Sluglines (location headings), scene description, character names, and dialogue are presented virtually the same between television and feature scripts. Movie Formatįirst and foremost, yes, the format behind television screenplays is different than writing that feature-length film, primarily because the television platform has different nuanced structure that must adhere to the inclusion of in-program advertising (commercials), as well as the shortened time lengths for television and streaming channel slots - thirty minutes to an hour, as opposed to a feature’s ninety minutes and far beyond.īut don’t worry, the difference between the two isn’t as vast as you’d think. With television, the platform of your stories - and the characters and worlds within - is expanded to multiple episodes and seasons where an audience stays tuned in for days, weeks, months, and years to find out the outcome of the story and character arcs. Regardless of how you tell your story, most features are self-contained and offer closure at the end. You follow a general three-act story structure (beginning, middle, and end) told within the realm of varying format structures that you can utilize (non-linear, real-time, chronological, etc.). With film, you’re usually telling a self-contained story - barring any planned sequels, franchises, or multi-universe crossovers. Television shows and cinematic features tell stories in different ways. ![]() How can you differentiate what format you’re supposed to be using for whatever type of television episode or pilot you are writing? Television Series vs. Whether it is a multi-camera sitcom, single-camera sitcom, or one-hour drama, television scripts (sometimes referred to as teleplays) utilize different formatting compared to feature length movie scripts - for many different reasons. ![]() ![]() This is another good way of inducing late payers to cough up.

A lawyer's guide for small business owners ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As someone who participated in the development and initial application of the World Health Organization (WHO) surgical safety checklist, I became convinced early on that there is no better time to establish the necessary “bond for the day” of my team than a well-executed initial time-out. It is important to note that strong team member commitment is key to the successful implementation of checklists in preventing harm to patients and in improving quality. When practiced in this step-by-step manner, with true involvement of all members of the team led by the senior surgeon, checklists are extremely effective during the operation and postoperatively as they contribute to improved patient outcomes. A final debriefing takes place at the conclusion of the operation. The original time-out took the form of checklists, to which the surgical care team refers at different phases of a surgical procedure.Īt different stages of the operation, even at initiation of the incision, other elements are verified, including the plan for the procedure and team member assignments, as well as the best ways to communicate with team members during the procedure.Īnother pause before the end of the procedure turns the team’s attention toward ensuring that no foreign bodies are left behind and that all aspects of the operation have been successfully concluded. While initially viewed as a safety measure to prevent harm as a result of operating on the wrong patient or the wrong site or performing the wrong procedure, time-outs evolved to include quality patient care and enhanced performance of the surgical team. A time-out, which The Joint Commission defines as “an immediate pause by the entire surgical team to confirm the correct patient, procedure, and site,” was introduced in 2003, when The Joint Commission’s Board of Commissioners approved the original Universal Protocol for Preventing Wrong Site, Wrong Procedure, and Wrong Person Surgery for all accredited hospitals, ambulatory care centers, and office-based surgery facilities. #AORN Standard Time Out Procedure, #Before Incision, #National Time Out Day, #Patient Safety, #Surgical Safety, #Time Out Procedureīy Carlos A. ![]() ![]() You don't read the papers much, do you smart guy?
