10 Strategic Points TemplateArticle CitationWigton (n.d.)PointDescriptionLocation(Page #)Broad Topic AreaThe efficacy of 19znf based on quantitative methods of measurementp. 1-2Lit ReviewThe literature review explores the background and history of the problem, discusses theoretical foundations and conceptual frameworks, and reviews relevant NF models. It identifies a need for an expanded theoretical/conceptual sectionpp. 24+Problem StatementIt is not known, by way of statistical evaluation of either clinical assessments or QEEG z-scores, if 19ZNF is an effective NF technique.p. 62Research QuestionsR1a. Does 19ZNF improve attention as measured by the IVA assessment?R1b. Does 19ZNF improve behavior as measured by the DSMD assessment?R1c. Does 19ZNF improve executive function as measured by the BRIEF assessment?R2. Does 19ZNF improve electrocortical function as measured by QEEG zscores such that the post z-scores are closer to the mean than pre z-scores?p. 63Sample21 participants: cases which met the inclusion criteria of being a 19ZNF case, having both a pre and post QEEG assessment, as well as either an IVA, or a DSMD, or a BRIEF assessment, for both pre and post conditions.p. 68Describe Phenomena (qualitative) or Define Variables/Hypotheses (quantitative)The instrument to measure attention was the IVA continuous performance test. Ha1a: The post scores will be higher than the pre scores for the IVA assessment.The instrument to measure behavior was the DSMD. Ha1b: The post scores will be lower than the pre scores for the DSMD assessment.The instrument to measure executive function was the BRIEF.Ha1c: The post scores will be lower than the pre scores for the BRIEF assessment.The instrument to measure the QEEG z-scores. Ha2: The post z-scores will be closer to the mean than the pre z-scores.pp. 63-65Methodology & DesignQuantitative, quasi-experimental research used a retrospective, one-group pretest-posttest design.p. 66Purpose StatementTo evaluate 19ZNF, in a clinical setting, using a retrospective one-group pretest-posttest research design.p. 86Data Collection Approachgathering archived de-identified data, from closed case files, of a NF private practice. The process consisted of collecting the necessary data elements (i.e. subject demographics, assessment scales scores, and z-scores) into spreadsheets, for further analysis by statistical software (SPSS).p. 63Data Analysis ApproachDescriptive statistics on each of the sample groups; the means for the pre, post, and difference scores were also calculated, using t-tests.pp. 79-81Evaluation (Maximum 250-500 words)The key points in the literature review focused on the background and history of NF, the theoretical foundations and conceptual frameworks for NF, and relevant NF models. It identified a need for an expanded theoretical/conceptual section and thus set the stage for 19znf. The variables under study consisted of: IVA, DSMD, BRIEF, QEEG z-scores. The problem focused on in this study was that it was not known, by way of statistical evaluation of either clinical…

…abilities such as instincts and intuition.
Children demonstrate these instincts and intuition all the time, yet simultaneously they represent themselves as blank slates that indicate the extent to which children require instruction and guidance. The reconciliation is as self-evident in children as 1=1.Innate abilities may be understood as forms of Socrates expressed it long ago in ancient Greece. Socrates believed that all knowledge and truth was written on the soul and that all “learning” undergone in life was the act of recollection—i.e., the act of remembering the knowledge of truth that was already written on the soul (Plato, 2010). Indeed, Plato states: Plato states that “a man must have intelligence of universals, and be able to proceed from the many particulars of sense to one conception of reason;--this is the recollection of those things which our soul once saw while following God—when regardless of that which we now call being she raised her head up towards the true being” (417-418). This does not invalidate Locke’s argument for both may be said to have something of the truth in them, but the limitations of Locke’s argument—namely that it does not account for intuition and instinct—suggest that while there may be a tabula rasa of sorts in the human being, there may also be what Socrates identifies as essentially a pre-coded….....
