This paper presents a pilot study investigating the development of declarative memory in infancy, by creating a stimulus material appropriate for recording Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) during memory encoding. The material was designed to establish associations between pictures, and a negative component with a fronto-central distribution (Nc) was studied as a reflection of learning. In addition

The aim of this research paper was to examine the help required by refugee children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition to this, we also examined the help the refugee children are currently receiving. We have examined this from the perspective of the theory of the ecology of human development. The method we used was qualitative and we conducted eleven profound interviews with p

The main questions are whether there is a difference in the documentation of the non- prioritised material, between rescue archaeology and research archaeology and what the reasons for such a difference may be related to. Furthermore, the thesis deals with what arch-aeologists write say and do abo
