Stroke results in abnormal muscle synergies, weakness, and spasticity in the affected upper limb, which results in decreased performance of activities of daily living (ADL) and reliance on compensation strategies. Recent clinical reviews have shown the success of functionally motivated clinical intervention, and have shown that recovery of joint coordination is possible and may aid in recovery of real world use of the affected limb. Rehabilitation robots and other devices have become increasingly prevalent for administering arm rehabilitation therapy. The following research shows the benefits of technologies that assist with functional task focused therapy for stroke victims. The research on functional therapy technology was broken into three components. 1) A device, Hand Spring Operated Movement Enhancer (HandSOME), was developed to allow for functional training with real and virtual objects. This device was tested in a cross-sectional study with eight chronic stroke subjects, and significantly improved active range of motion (p

"ECHOS: Early Childhood Hands-On Science" was developed at the Miami Science Museum as a comprehensive set of science lessons sequenced to lead children toward a deeper understanding of science content and the use of science process skills. The purpose of the research is to determine whether use of the "ECHOS" model will increase the amount and quality of science teaching and learning in preschool programs serving low-income children. "ECHOS" is based on the conviction that teachers of children at risk of school failure need to be both content sources and facilitators of learning who deliberately structure the environment and provide explicit instruction on basic science concepts. Analyses at the end of the first year show preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of "ECHOS" on the quality of teacher''s science instruction and on children''s science skills. These positive preliminary results from a first year of the randomized controlled trial, and relatively high rates of teacher fidelity, indicate that "ECHOS" has demonstrated its potential to impact teacher practice and student outcomes. Tables are appended.

We continuously change our belief systems by adding new beliefs and rejecting old ones. Since this is a constant occurrence, we need a theory that explains how to maintain our status as rational agents when we are required to revise our beliefs in the face of disconfirming evidence. The AGM model of belief revision--named after its originators Alchourrón, Gärdenfors and Makinson--provides us with a formal model of rational belief revision presented as a set of rationality postulates that must to be followed when an agent revises her beliefs. AGM uses entrenchment postulates which requires that an agent give up the less entrenched belief during a revision. However, I show that entrenchment based contraction in AGM allows for non-rational revisions. Since AGM is supposed to be a model of rational belief revision, I propose an amendment to AGM''s entrenchment postulates that will guard against this.
