Thinking about thinking: a discussion of the development of cognition and language in deaf children.

Teachers of the deaf are challenged to facilitate maximum cognitive and linguistic growth in each student. Often these teachers are not given models to use in assessment and classroom intervention practice with their students. This article suggests that a Piagetian approach to education of the deaf can be applied to other bodies of research to understand what occurs as a deaf child comes to a point of knowledge. The article reviews current research in language acquisition and cognitive development. It makes suggestions for the application of this research to education of the deaf.

Thinking about thinking: some clinical and theoretical considerations in the treatment of a borderline patient.

This paper addresses a specific aspect of pathological mental functioning in so-called borderline patients. Analytic work with a borderline man is presented to show that an inhibition of, and defences against, the contemplation of one's own and others' mental states may be a hallmark of the resistance encountered in a number of such patients. It is claimed that the analysis of transference and countertransference is a crucial therapeutic factor in tackling this source of resistance. In doing this, the paper draws upon a topical notion from philosophy of mind and recent ideas from child development studies which help to clarify psychoanalytic ideas concerning the nature of the pathology of internal object relations underlying feelings of emptiness and social alienation in borderline functioning.

To think or not to think: synaptic activity and Abeta release.

Accumulation of beta-amyloid protein (Abeta) in the extracellular space of the brain has been hypothesized to be a culprit in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. In this issue of Neuron, Cirrito et al. describe a series of experiments demonstrating that extracellular Abeta levels are directly modulated by neuronal and synaptic activity.

Presentation of illness in older adults. If you think you know what you're looking for, think again.

ALTHOUGH PEOPLE AGE at different rates, changes to the composition of the human body are a hallmark of aging. As a result of such changes, disease can present differently in a person over 65 years old than it would in a younger adult or child. THIS ARTICLE IDENTIFIES the critical indicators of underlying conditions, including changes in mental status, loss of function, decrease in appetite, dehydration, falls, pain, dizziness, and incontinence. It also describes the presentation of diseases common to older adults, including depression, infection, cardiac disease, gastrointestinal disorders, thyroid disease, and type 2 diabetes.
