The effect of single and dual task training on the intracortical inhibition in young and old adults by Michael Wälchli, Craig Tokuno, Benedikt Lauber, Wolfgang Taube

“…More interestingly, intracortical inhibition was upregulated in young and downregulated in old, indicating age-specific adaptations in SICI following a comparable training protocol. Based on the hypothesis that intracortical inhibition decreases during initial motor learning and increases in later stages, we hypothesize that a training duration of 3 weeks is sufficient to induce positive cortical modulation in young adults but not in older adults. …”

Oral health-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors (KAB) of dental students: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Xiaochen Jiang, Fei Wang, Weifeng Wang, Wenjuan Cao, Xueling Qiu, Chenxi Sun, Fan Sun, Lu Tang

“…Conclusions The oral health-related KAB of dental students are at a medium level, among which the knowledge level is better, but the attitude and behaviors are relatively less positive. Therefore, dental educators should consider this as an opportunity to call for and strengthen the early implementation of preventive elements in curriculum and incorporate them into the overall teaching plan of dental students through various educational strategies such as early exposure to clinical scenarios and problem-based learning to positively influence students’ behaviors and attitudes. …”

The relationship between parental autonomy support, teacher autonomy support, peer support, and university students’ academic engagement: the mediating roles of basic psychological... by Yan Li, Yan Li, Rosilawati Sueb, Khadijah Said Hashim

“…ObjectiveThis study, based on Ecological Systems Theory and Self-Determination Theory, explores the relationships between parental autonomy support, teacher autonomy support, peer support, and university students’ academic engagement from a positive psychology perspective, as well as the mediating roles of basic psychological needs and autonomous motivation.MethodsA questionnaire survey was conducted with 416 university students from four universities in Guangxi, using the Academic Engagement Scale, Parental Autonomy Support Scale, Teacher Autonomy Support Scale, Peer Support Scale, Basic Psychological Needs Scale, and Learning Motivation Scale.Results(1) Teacher autonomy support was significantly positively associated with university students’ academic engagement; peer support was significantly negatively associated with academic engagement; parental autonomy support was not significantly associated with academic engagement. (2) Basic psychological needs significantly mediated the relationships between parental autonomy support, teacher autonomy support, peer support, and academic engagement. (3) Autonomous motivation significantly mediated the relationships between parental autonomy support, teacher autonomy support, and academic engagement, while it was not significantly associated with the relationship between peer support and academic engagement. (4) Basic psychological needs and autonomous motivation played a chain-mediating role in the relationships between parental autonomy support, teacher autonomy support, peer support, and academic engagement.ConclusionTeacher, parental, and peer support influence university students’ academic engagement through different pathways, with basic psychological needs and autonomous motivation serving as important “bridging” factors.…”
