Understanding responses of people with ASD in diverse reasoning tasks: A formal study.

Recent studies have shown that in some reasoning tasks people with Autism Spectrum Disorder perform better than typically developing people. This paper compares four such tasks, namely a syllogistic task, two decision-making tasks, and a task from the heuristics and biases literature, the aim being to identify common structure as well as differences. In the terminology of David Marr's three levels of cognitive systems, the tasks show commonalities on the computational level in terms of the effect of contextual stimuli, though an in-depth analysis of such contexts provides certain distinguishing features in the algorithmic level.

Maximum Strength and Power as Determinants of Match Skating Performance in Elite Youth Ice Hockey Players.

Keiner, M, Kierot, M, Stendahl, M, Brauner, T, and Suchomel, TJ. Maximum strength and power as determinants of match skating performance in elite youth ice hockey players. J Strength Cond Res 38(6): 1090-1094, 2024-Maximum strength has a strong influence on speed-strength performances such as sprints and jumps.

Maximum strength and power as determinants of on-ice sprint performance in elite U16 to adult ice hockey players.

In ice hockey, speed strength is one of the major physical key performance indicators, which is significantly influenced by maximum strength. The objective of this study was to evaluate the age-dependent relationship of off-ice maximum strength and vertical jump performance with on-ice linear sprint performance, considering age and performance level. Ninety-one male youth and adult professional ice hockey players (age: 19.

Do increasingly unstable balance devices provide a graded challenge to bipedal stance in total hip arthroplasty patients?

Background: Progressive balance exercises are critical to early functional rehabilitation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) but little is known regarding the challenge imposed by common balance devices.

Research Question: Do progressively unstable balance devices provide a graded challenge to bipedal stance during early functional rehabilitation in THA patients?

Methods: Postural control was evaluated in 42 patients (age, 63.7 ± 9.

Despite Good Correlations, There Is No Exact Coincidence between Isometric and Dynamic Strength Measurements in Elite Youth Soccer Players.

Speed strength performances are substantially dependent on maximum strength. Due to their importance, various methods have been utilized to measure maximum strength (e.g.
