A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY TO ASSESS THE COGNITIVE STYLE AMONG THE NURSING TEACHER WORKING IN SELECTED NURSING INSTITUTE OF VADODARA GUJARAT (WITH A VIEW TO IMPROVE THE COGNITIVE PROCESS)

Many authors have drawn attention to the differences in psychosocial variables which exist between national cultures. This paper investigates Prato Previde's (1991) hypothesis that Adaptive-Innovative (A-I) cognitive style is a stable cognitive process within the individual which is largely uninfluenced by national culture. Empirical findings and statistical analyses are brought together from a range of studies in different countries to test this hypothesis. In all, the conclusion is drawn that the data are largely consistent with this hypothesis. The principal factors supporting this conclusion comprise: (1) the similarity between the psychometric properties and factor structures obtained for each of the current five language versions (English, French, Dutch, Italian, and Slovak) of the KAI — the measure of (A-I) cognitive style; and (2) the evidence that A-I cognitive style varies more by occupation and by work function than by nation.

This descriptive study evaluates the speech disfluencies of 8 verbal children between 3 and 5 years of age with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Speech samples were collected for each child during standardized interactions. Percentage and types of disfluencies observed during speech samples are discussed. Although they did not have a clinical diagnosis of stuttering, all of the young children with ASD in this study produced disfluencies. In addition to stuttering-like disfluencies and other typical disfluencies, the children with ASD also produced atypical disfluencies, which usually are not observed in children with typically developing speech or developmental stuttering. (Yairi & Ambrose, 2005).
