Attachment behaviours in adults with intellectual disabilities in assisted living facilities: representations from direct-care staff.

Background: Studies on individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs) indicate that primary care staff are potential attachment figures. Therefore, the ability to interpret and respond to attachment behaviours with sensitivity is crucial for professionals working with adults with IDs. However, little is known regarding representations and understanding of these attachment behaviours among professionals.

Exploring professionals' practices and perspectives on supporting parents with intellectual disabilities: a qualitative study.

Introduction: Evidence suggests that parents with intellectual disabilities require appropriate parenting support. However, professional practices vary widely, and several barriers and challenges persist in supporting parents with intellectual disabilities. To identify effective and collaborative practices, this study investigated practices reported by professionals and their roles in providing services to parents with intellectual disabilities.

Biases in BCI experiments: Do we really need to balance stimulus properties across categories?

Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) consist of an interaction between humans and computers with a specific mean of communication, such as voice, gestures, or even brain signals that are usually recorded by an Electroencephalogram (EEG). To ensure an optimal interaction, the BCI algorithm typically involves the classification of the input signals into predefined task-specific categories. However, a recurrent problem is that the classifier can easily be biased by uncontrolled experimental conditions, namely covariates, that are unbalanced across the categories.

Differences related to aging in sensorimotor knowledge: Investigation of perceptual strength and body object interaction.

Embodied approach postulates that knowledge and conceptual representations are grounded in action and perception. In order to investigate the involvement of sensorimotor information in conceptual and cognitive processing, researchers have collected various norms in young adults. For instance, the perceptual strength (PS) assesses perceptual experience (i.
