This research is based on previous studies which identified a specific respiratory pattern and inhalation-exhalation ratio, with which we were able to obtain significantly greater reductions in psychophysiological activation than with other respiratory patterns. The present study aimed to check the effectiveness of this respiratory pattern in learning based on biofeedback from the electrical conductance of the skin. The results obtained demonstrated that biofeedback combined with this respiratory pattern produced a significant reduction in psychophysiological activation and improved learning through biofeedback techniques.
The Down's syndrome population presents a social quotient higher than its inteligence quotient, main characteristic of its personality and because of the pronounced hipotony suffered by them, principally in the first years of life.This report shows the results of a study carried out about differential acquisitions of two groups of trisomy-21 babies, depending on the social reinforcement used in an early stimulation program. We used as reward a social reinforcement with two variants: administered in physical interaction with the subject (Rl group) and without interaction (RNI group). According to the' obtained data, we proved an upper level of acquisitions in the group which had received the reinforcement in the interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
