Clinicians have long appreciated that people with aphasia (PWA) who self-monitor their errorful speech have better outcomes. It has been assumed, with empirical justification, that this is because successful monitoring is associated with a stronger language system, and a robust system is more likely to improve (Strength hypothesis). A second possibility, not incompatible with the first, is that monitoring success in some way causes those language systems to undergo adaptive change (Learning hypothesis). This chapter describes recent evidence from PWA’s self-monitoring of naming errors that supports both the strength and learning hypotheses. A follow-up analysis of monitoring latencies speaks to differences in repair processes for semantic and phonological errors. The discussion develops an explanatory framework that integrates aspects of monitoring theory with models of lexical access and incremental learning.

ABSTRAKPerilaku on-task merupakan segala perilaku yang bertujuan untuk menyelesaikan tugas sehingga berperan penting dalam pencapaian akademik pada anak. Anak dengan underachiever umumnya memiliki masalah dalam menampilkan perilaku on- task. Sebaliknya, mereka cenderung untuk menampilkan perilaku off-task yang didefinisikan sebagai perilaku melakukan pekerjaan yang tidak ada hubungannya dengan tugas atau aktivitas yang sedang dijalani. Perilaku on-task dapat ditingkatkan dengan metode self-monitoring. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji efektivitas teknik self-monitoring dalam meningkatkan perilaku on-task pada anak underachiever. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian subyek tunggal A-B dengan follow-updengan partisipan penelitian adalah anak laki-laki underachiever berusia 9 tahun dengan IQ rata-rata atas yang cenderung menampilkan perilaku off-task ketika dihadapkan pada suatu tugas atau aktivitas. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 10 sesi dan hasil menunjukkan bahwa teknik self-monitoring dapat meningkatkan perilaku on-task dari 60% menjadi 90% dan efek pemberian intervensi bertahan hingga tahap follow-up.Kata kunci: on-task, self-monitoring, underachieverABSTRACTOn-task behavior refers as all behaviors that intended to complete the task, so it plays an important role for children’s academic achievement. Mostly, the underachiever children tend to have problems demonstrating on-task behavior. In the contrary, they tend to demonstrate off-task behavior that defined as all behaviorsthat isn’t intended to complete the task. On-task behavior can be increased with self-monitoring method. The aim of this research is to test the effectivity of self-monitoring techinique to increase underachiever children’s on-task behavior. This research is a single case AB with follow-up design. The participant in this research is a male underachiever student age 9 with the IQ score of above average that tend to demonstrate off task behavior while working on his school task. This research consists of 10 session and the result shows that the self-monitoring technique is effective in increasing the on-task behavior from 60% to 90%. The effect of this intervention last until the follow up sessionKeywords: on-task, self-monitoring, underachiever

Abstract BACKGROUND Studies have shown that self-monitoring of blood pressure (BP) is effective when combined with co-interventions, but its efficacy varies in the presence of some co-morbidities. This study examined whether self-monitoring can reduce clinic BP in patients with hypertension-related co-morbidity. METHODS A systematic review was conducted of articles published in Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to January 2018. Randomized controlled trials of self-monitoring of BP were selected and individual patient data (IPD) were requested. Contributing studies were prospectively categorized by whether they examined a low/high-intensity co-intervention. Change in BP and likelihood of uncontrolled BP at 12 months were examined according to number and type of hypertension-related co-morbidity in a one-stage IPD meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 22 trials were eligible, 16 of which were able to provide IPD for the primary outcome, including 6,522 (89%) participants with follow-up data. Self-monitoring was associated with reduced clinic systolic BP compared to usual care at 12-month follow-up, regardless of the number of hypertension-related co-morbidities (−3.12 mm Hg, [95% confidence intervals −4.78, −1.46 mm Hg]; P value for interaction with number of morbidities = 0.260). Intense interventions were more effective than low-intensity interventions in patients with obesity (P < 0.001 for all outcomes), and possibly stroke (P < 0.004 for BP control outcome only), but this effect was not observed in patients with coronary heart disease, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease. CONCLUSIONS Self-monitoring lowers BP regardless of the number of hypertension-related co-morbidities, but may only be effective in conditions such obesity or stroke when combined with high-intensity co-interventions.

Self Monitoring

22 high school students enrolled in an ecology course volunteered to self-monitor and record ecological acts. Relative to baselines which appeared to be non-reactive, time-series statistical analysis indicated that only 7 (32%) showed significant increases in ecological acts. Further, only 4 (19%) sustained these increases during follow-up assessment. Self-monitoring and recording appear ineffective in changing behavior of macro-social significance. Future research may be aimed at evaluating self-applied and externally mediated consequences and response prevention.

Clinical Problems

The present state of stuttering therapy programs enables the clinician to render many stutterers virtually stutter-free in the clinic. A major clinical problem, however, is the transfer of fluency to nonclinical situations and its maintenance over time. Concepts and techniques extrapolated from the literature on behavior change are applied to assessment, treatment objectives, treatment techniques, and to a number of procedures designed to facilitate transfer and maintenance during therapy. When fluency has been established, self-control techniques based on speech practice, self-monitoring, and the deliberate use of self-administered and social contingencies are stressed. Guidelines for termination of therapy and follow-up are given. For many of these techniques, specific examples are offered from clinical work with stutterers. Other techniques are presented because of their potential relevance and their demonstrated effectiveness with a variety of clinical problems.

Learning Concept

The traditional approach to deal with incomplete information system is to make it completed, when a new object added only need a static attribute reduction algorithm to obtain the rules, wastes a lot of resources. The goal of incremental rules mining is to maintain the consistency of the rules in incomplete decision table. When a new object is added, establish discernibility matrix of the original decision table, get distribution reduction set, then generate conjunctive items export rules set. It introduces incremental learning concept, avoids tedious counting process. It can be effective for large-scale incomplete ocean data reduction and it also provides a strong basis for decision making for the marine environment processing and follow-up processing.

A multiple baseline across subject/settings design was employed to assess the specificity of the effects of progressive relaxation in two recently diagnosed, mild hypertensives. Relaxation was implemented successively across laboratory and home settings. In Subject 1, laboratory relaxation was associated with control over diastolic blood pressure, while in Subject 2, control over systolic pressure was observed. Improvements to normotensive levels were observed for both subjects, and the changes were maintained in both settings for Subject 2 at 6- and 12-mo. follow-up. Subject 1 discontinued her medications, relaxation, and self-monitoring of blood pressure, which was associated with an increase in blood pressure during treatment maintenance; however, at 6- and 12-mo. follow-up, both home and laboratory blood pressures were within normotensive range.

Blood Glucose Levels

♦ ObjectiveFalse elevation of blood glucose levels measured by glucose dehydrogenase pyrroloquinoline quinone (GDH-PQQ)-based glucose self-monitoring systems; glucometer) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients using icodextrin solution has been well documented. However, adverse hypoglycemic events caused by misreadings for blood glucose are still being reported. We aimed to study blood glucose levels measured simultaneously using different methods in PD patients with switching of icodextrin, and throughout daily exchanges either using icodextrin or not.♦ DesignWe recruited 100 PD patients, including 40 using icodextrin; 128 hemodialysis patients served as a reference. Fasting serum glucose was measured using our laboratory reference method (LAB) and 2 glucose self-monitoring systems based on glucose dehydrogenase nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (GDH-NAD) and GDH-PQQ respectively. 80 PD patients had a second follow-up study. A time course study was performed in 16 PD patients through measuring fingertip glucose using the 2 glucose self-monitoring systems during daily exchanges.♦ ResultThe differences in measured serum glucose levels in (PQQ minus LAB) versus (NAD minus LAB) were markedly increased in PD patients using icodextrin compared to other patient groups, and was further confirmed by the follow-up study in patients that switched to icodextrin. The high serum glucose levels measured by the GDH-PQQ-based glucose self-monitoring system were present throughout all exchanges during the day in patients using icodextrin solution.♦ ConclusionsFalse elevation of blood glucose measured by GDH-PQQ-based glucose self-monitoring systems exists in patients using icodextrin. To avoid misinterpretation of hyperglycemia and subsequent over-injection of insulin, GDH-PQQ-based glucose self-monitoring systems should not be used in PD patients.
