![]() ![]() In the current study, we make use of the Bucknell Auditory Imagery Scale (BAIS Halpern 2015) which consists of vividness and control subscales. Hence, there is a mixed picture of musical and auditory processing ability in ASD and an almost complete lack of knowledge about how music-and sounds more generally-are conceived by individuals with ASD. Those imagery studies which have been conducted have tended to examine visual imagery, perhaps because of an assumption that ASD individuals are more likely to be “visual thinkers” (Grandin 2005, 2009). The literature on auditory imagery is extensive (for a recent review, see Hubbard 2018) but very few studies of imagery have been conducted amongst ASD populations. 2017) and atypical syntactic processing (P6) (Koolen et al. 1989) especially in terms of amplitude (Cui et al. They show impaired voluntary attention to sounds (P3b) (Courchesne et al. 2003) orientation toward sounds (P3a) and normal/impaired language-semantic processing (N4) (McCleery et al. 2011), normal (Whitehouse and Bishop 2008), or impaired (Čeponienė et al. ASD individuals have also been reported as showing either enhanced (Gomot et al. 2003) and impaired patterns (Jansson-Verkasalo et al. 2018), ranging between enhanced (Gomot et al. Discrepant results for auditory mismatch negativity (MMN) have also been reported in ASD (Schwartz et al. 2011 Whitehouse and Bishop 2008) all reported. 2003), and impaired patterns (Roberts et al. ![]() There are mixed reports regarding cortical sound encoding (P1-N1-P2), with enhanced (Ferri et al. A recent meta-analysis of results using these techniques suggests that infants and children (but not adults) with ASD have impaired auditory brainstem response to sound (Miron et al. ( 2009) reported a subgroup of ASD individuals with average intellectual ability and superior frequency discrimination skills, consistent with earlier work.Ĭontradictory findings have also been observed in neurophysiological and event-related potential (ERP) studies of pitch processing in ASD. ( 2009) both found little evidence for group differences in pitch or frequency perception between ASD and control groups. ![]() This discrepancy may partly be explained by differences in autism severity between the tested samples: those with enhanced musical abilities tend to have language delay or impairments and those with normal musical processing are generally high functioning (Bonnel et al. 2018) performance on pitch discrimination and melodic perception in individuals with ASD. 2015 Molnar-Szakacs and Heaton 2012), a few more recent studies have also found normal (Germain et al. 2014), and superior musical processing abilities in ASD (Jiang et al. ![]() 2003), enhanced short- and long-term pitch memory (Stanutz et al. However, while some results are consistent with this idea of enhanced musical ability in autism, with reports of increased low-level pitch processing (Bonnel et al. Forms of music therapy have been reported to aid people with severe ASD significantly improve in musical skill in different ways, such as short/long melody recall and rhythm reproduction (Boso et al. Music is also successfully employed as a therapeutic tool amongst this population (Geretsegger et al. ( 1999) suggest that emotional valence cues are equivalently available for ASD individuals and typically developing individuals (Molnar-Szakacs and Heaton 2012). ( 1999) reported no significant deficit, relative to typically developing individuals, in a sample of children with ASD in associating musical melodies to appropriate emotional expressions. The problem for the listener in each case is to extract meaning from acoustically variable signals where, for example, phonetic or local melodic context might modulate the intended meaning.Įarly studies suggested that the processing of music may be preserved in autism even when language is impaired (Applebaum et al. Both are reliant upon the construction of meaningful structures from a set of discrete elements (phonemes, tones) with little inherent meaning. In 1871, Darwin speculated that they might share a common evolutionary origin (Darwin 1871), and the two seem to involve distinct but overlapping mechanisms (Patel 2012). The relationship between language and music is itself complex. Musical ability is dependent upon a group of auditory perceptual and cognitive skills which may be affected by autism in ways that are poorly understood. ![]()

Less than a week ago, the Philadelphia Flyers had sent goaltender Felix Sandstrom to their AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for a conditioning stint. Both players were present during the team’s blowout loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night.

It also helps to have good travel insurance.Īs Dothan is a small town with a small population, the crime statistics report being higher than the average for the state and the country, when calculated per 100,000 people. When visiting the city, it is a good idea to take precautions to ensure your personal safety. ![]() Similar to other cities in Alabama, crimes do occur but usually in areas that are of little appeal to tourists. Be sure to look out for it, but blink and you may miss it! Safety in Dothan The small triangle of grass formed by the convergence of three streets used to be slightly bigger, and once hosted a single two-story building and even a snack stand. In fact, it is a tiny triangular piece of land consisting of a stop sign, a yield sign, and a small granite marker.

Visit one of the many museums that preserve the rich heritage of the city, a park that displays the natural beauty of the area, or theme park that entertains the whole family. It was once a derelict and forgotten place, but has gone through a period of rejuvenation over the last couple of decades! The city is full of interesting history and rich in culture. The peanut farms from the surrounding areas supply almost all of the country’s peanuts, so it is not surprising that Dothan celebrates the humble peanut in every way that it can.ĭothan is located in the Wiregrass Region that is named after the tall, wiry grass that is native to the area. This quaint little city in Alabama that is fondly known as the Peanut Capital of the World. The city is home to many great things to do that will keep the whole family entertained and convince you to stick around for longer than you anticipated. My wife and I took my two grandsons to this skate center.With Florida to the south and Georgia to the east, Dothan makes for a great stop on a road trip or when exploring Southern Alabama. The pictures on the website, like many others, present this establishment well. Check out the Fun Zone Skate Center - Dothan AL Enjoy various roller skating activities and fun at this roller skating rink and arena in Dothan, Alabama. What we found was a building where games and obstacles was masquerading as an amusement zone. But the bumper car area wasn’t even available, although we paid for it. ![]() The bumper cars and the laser tag areas can only be used when the center is able to conjure up enough participants to operate them,otherwise it’s not operated. We purposefully went on a day, at a time, where it wouldn’t be overly crowded and this was the drawback. The play zone area was excellent for the two y/o he had a blast. ![]() One other comment about the skate area is that my 9 y/o grandson needed rollerblades vs four-wheeled skates so we had to pay an additional $3 for the exchange which i think also should have been a point of discussion when we elected to include the skate rink in our selection package. Overall, it’s a good idea that’s in a location much too small in my opinion to operate all of the “good” amusements housed within it. The bumper cars, which we never got to let the kids enjoy due to not enough “participants” is extremely small with 5 cars in a space that’s far too small to enjoy. T’s really constant bumper cars, because you can’t move more than about two feet before contact no matter what. I think It’s a good setup poised well but simply too congested and cramped. Also, in my view they need to be more informative when selling and operationally sound. The bathrooms were horrendous and the basins were located outside of them. ![]() ![]() I've used Roboform for many years, to manage passwords on my desktops and mobile devices. Of course, there is competition in the password manager arena. Another type of emergency might be, “I forgot my RoboForm master password.” Your emergency contact, hopefully, hasn’t forgotten theirs. ![]() This feature is a form of “Digital Estate Planning” that can spare your loved ones a lot of hassles when you are not around and they need to access online accounts you left behind. That takes a lot of the drudgery out of fixing all those weak passwords.Īnother new feature is the ability to designate an “emergency contact,” a trusted friend or family member who will be able to access all your RoboForm data stored on the company’s server in the event that you are incapacitated, incarcerated, dead, or otherwise unable to do it yourself. RoboForm 8 can now find duplicated passwords and help you change them to unique passwords. That’s a big security no-no you wouldn’t use one key to secure your house, car, office, gym locker, and safety deposit box. The audit also flags duplicates, sites on which you are using the same password. A new feature, dubbed Security Center/Password Audit, can then check your passwords for strength, flagging the ones that are weak or common and offering suggestions that will beef them up. It’s easy enough to import passwords stored by your browser into RoboForm 8. ![]() It not only stores your passwords, it helps you create strong ones and manage them so that you don’t fall into the traps I described in my article, Here’s Why Your Password Is Hackable. Roboform does that basic task, of course.īut RoboForm 8 goes beyond the basics. I did once but I no longer recommend RF to friends and family.First, here’s a quick answer to the question, “Why RoboForm?” Sure, modern browsers have rudimentary password managers that remember credentials for most sites you visit, making logins faster and easing the burden on your overloaded human memory. And it’s not going to bring new customers, at least the ones who read reviews and follow sound advice. This stealthy license update is not going to covert technically savvy users to the paid version. If that’s not a sure sign that they are struggling, both financially and in the terms of leadership, what is? Why did they further limit the free version? No other competitor is doing this (to my knowledge). (How active is this subreddit? That tells you something, doesn’t it?) RF is going extinct because they have been losing relevance and market share for years. There are a dozen of other popular password managers, and most of them innovate faster. RF is no longer the market leader, either in the free or paid categories. which turned out to be a marketing lie.but that’s another topic. Back then the paid version promised perpetual forever updates…. I bought Roboform at the dawn of time (circa 2000 ) because then it was the best (and only) form filler. Sooner or later, the user base of the paid version will also dwindle and the company will fold. ![]() The bottom line is this: Free Robofrom is going extinct. Instead of innovations and better features they give us update nags and stealth backdoor restrictions. Like me, if you sync/backup pwd data yourself and use more than one device, don't update to 9.4.1.Īs someone who has been an early adopter and has used both paid and free versions, I've lost trust in the company and in the product. If you copy the file to another device, it will work in "Read Only" mode, which means you have to manually copy/paste passwords to your browser. If I read this correctly, RF data file is now tied to a particular device. Copying your user data file to other devices manually will not allow to access it from the installed RoboForm applications." So now your options are either buy a subscription to continue using RoboForm across multiple devices, or select only one device to continue using RoboForm for free. ![]() "We have updated our license enforcement to ensure that the free RoboForm version only is used on a single device. There is no online info explaining what this marketing jargon actually means. ![]() ![]() Yet it delivers all the 29er benefits that you know and love, like greater momentum and improved rollover.

I can't say I love the new iteration of Google Drive. It's a good thing I have good backups locally too. Lots of anomalies occurred with too many programs having an initial piece of the pie. One tip, parenthetically: do not set up your devices like phones, tablets (I use a companion program called OneSync) until EVERYTHING has completely synced to the cloud from your desktop/laptop. Well.I've always been the impatient type. Initially, I thought: cut-paste from Google to OneDrive folders. I have to say, moving 120,000 files was more complicated and nightmarish than I actually expected. I bit the bullet and switched all files from Google Drive to One Drive. SO, finally reporting back for whatever use you might make of it. But I really am reluctant to change everything and only then find the overhead is too annoying. Of course, that's with OneDrive and Google Drive installed and running too. ![]() The attempt to only sync certain things to my phone will become more complicated, I fear, if even possible.įinally, just installed it as a test on my desktop and it sure did use a lot of computer memory. They have a version for Dropbox and OneDrive too. It would work great for me, but what happens when their most interested users no longer are paying money into the till? Do they survive? (b) I like to sync also from my phone certain folders using a third-party program, DriveSync, that makes it easier to manage and personalize Google Drive backups. My concern would only be twofold: a) like I say, been burned before with these smaller providers looking great, going out of business. For those who don't need a lot of space, generous free plan with 10gb. Not one of my own desires, but some might like it. They have a feature similar to what Google just rolled out on streaming rather than sync'ing. Select-any-folder, like I've been doing at Google. Great pricing, especially if you go for the lifetime plans. Maybe inertia will end one day.īTW, I have been looking around and have been impressed with what I see from pCloud. I have not been terribly happy with the new upgrade to Google drive. I could go that Google docs route, but the problem with that is.that is not how the originals are formatted on my desktop. If they made it unusable on my phone, too, that might be the straw that pulls me into the OneDrive system. Maybe it's a better deal taking the Microsoft suite, less space and paying less money.īut I don't really need Microsoft Word on my tablet badly enough to worry about it. Google provides more space for more money, but I don't really need the extra space just now. The OneDrive package might in fact be a better package if 1 TB is enough storage space. That deal might arguably make sense if I really needed the Microsoft apps more, as personal plans are only $69 a year, but I'm too lazy to switch all my drive files to OneDrive. The real issue is: do I want to be part of the OneDrive system or the Google drive system? The former comes with 365 if you buy paid storage. There are other Android editing programs that are compatible with Word docs. The problem for Microsoft is that there really isn't much incentive for me to pay them for office apps. ![]() |
