Objective:
To determine the association between blood markers of white matter injury (e.g., serum neurofilament light and phosphorylated neurofilament heavy) and a novel neuroimaging technique measuring microstructural white matter changes (e.g., diffusion kurtosis imaging) in regions (e.g., anterior thalamic radiation and uncinate fasciculus) known to be impacted in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and associated with symptoms common in those with chronic TBI (e.g., sleep disruption, cognitive and emotional disinhibition) in a heterogeneous sample of Veterans and non-Veterans with a history of remote TBI (i.e., >6 months).
Participants and Methods:Participants with complete imaging and blood data (N=24) were sampled from a larger multisite study of chronic mild-moderate TBI. Participants ranged in age from young to middle-aged (mean age = 34.17, SD age = 10.96, range = 19-58) and primarily male (66.7%). The number of distinct TBIs ranged from 1-5 and the time since most recent TBI ranged from 0-30 years. Scores on a cognitive screener (MoCA) ranged from 22-30 (mean = 26.75). We performed bivariate correlations with mean kurtosis (MK) in the anterior thalamic radiation (ATR; left, right) uncinate fasciculus (UF; left, right), and serum neurofilament light (NFL), and phosphorylated neurofilament heavy (pNFH). Both were log transformed for non-normality. Significance threshold was set at p<0.05.
Results:pNFH was significantly and negatively correlated to MK in the right (r=-0.446) and left (r=-0.599) UF and right (r=-0.531) and left (r=-0.469) ATR. NFL showed moderate associations with MK in the right (r=-0.345) and left (r=-0.361) UF and little to small association in the right (r=-0.063) and left (r=-0.215) ATR. In post-hoc analyses, MK in both the left (r=0.434) and right (r=0.514) UF was positively associated with performance on a frontally-mediated list-learning task (California Verbal Learning Test, 2nd Edition; Trials 1-5 total).
Conclusions:Results suggest that serum pNFH may be a more sensitive blood marker of microstructural complexity in white matter regions frequently impacted by TBI in a chronic mild-moderate TBI sample. Further, it suggests that even years after a mild-moderate TBI, levels of pNFH may be informative regarding white matter integrity in regions related to executive functioning and emotional disinhibition, both of which are common presenting problems when these patients are seen in a clinical setting.

Objective:
To determine the association between in-vivo spectroscopy metabolite data, the local connectome, and markers of initial injury severity (I.e., history of loss of consciousness; LoC) in traumatic brain injury (TBI), in a heterogenous sample of Veterans and non-Veterans with a history of remote mild-to-moderate TBI (I.e., >6 months).
Participants and Methods:Participants with complete PRESS magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) data (N = 41) were sampled from a larger multisite study of chronic mild-to-moderate TBI (Nmiid = 38; Nmoderate = 3; 54% with LoC; 46% with multiple TBI). The sample was predominantly male (76%) with ages ranging from 23-59 (M = 36.9, SD = 10.1), with 98% holding at least a high school degree (M = 14.5 years of education, SD = 2.4). Fully tissue-and-relaxation-corrected metabolite concentration estimates in the dorsal anterior cingulate (30x30x30mm voxel) were modeled using Osprey 2.4.0. Total creatine (tCr), total choline (tCho), total N-acetylaspartate (tNAA), glutamate/glutamine (Glx), and myo-inositol (mI) were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to measure the association between metabolites and history of TBI with LoC. Correlational connectometry using the normalized spin distribution function was performed for metabolites associated with LoC, to characterize the local connectome associated with metabolites of interest, controlling for age and sex, and correcting for multiple comparisons (FDR < .050 with 4000 permutations). A profile approach was used to interpret diffusion metrics, contrasting quantitative anisotropy (QA) with fractional anisotropy (FA). Local connectome tracks were then clustered to identify the larger white matter tract.
Results:Glx (p = .008) and tCr (p = .032) were significantly associated with history of TBI with LoC. Increased Glx was associated with increased QA in 11,001 tracks, accounting for 1.4% of the total white matter tracks in the brain. 90% of tracks were identified in bilateral cingulum (33%), bilateral thalamic (13%), bilateral corticospinal (13%), corpus callosum (12%), left arcuate fasciculus (9%), left frontoparietal aslant tracts (6%), and bilateral inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (4%) tracts. In contrast, FA was not associated with Glx. The same pattern emerged for tCr, with 10,542 tracks identified predominantly in bilateral cingulum (29%), corpus callosum (21%), bilateral corticospinal (15%), bilateral corticostriatal (7%), bilateral medial lemniscus (7%), left cortico-pontine (3%), left thalamic (2%), and bilateral superior longitudinal fasciculus (2%) tracts. Post-hoc exploratory analyses of mean QA across regions of cingulum found that increased QA was associated with self-report measures of headache intensity, fatigue, and perceived change in executive functioning.
Conclusions:Results provided evidence that multimodal imaging can identify subtle markers of initial TBI severity years after injury. Neurometabolite concentrations were associated with diffuse changes in the local connectome; the pattern of discrepancy between FA and QA was suggestive of reduced potential for neuroplasticity. Exploratory analyses further indicated that variability in white matter density in the cingulum, an important connection for limbic regions, was associated with a range of problems commonly reported in clinical settings, which may be informative for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Chinese morphological awareness is conceptualized as a multidimensional construct but there is a lack of understanding of how its dimensions are related. Latent change score modeling was used to examine the bivariate relationships of two facets of oral morphological awareness, namely morpheme and structure awareness in Chinese children in grades one through three. Two hundred and three children in China completed morpheme (homonym awareness) and structure awareness (lexical compounding) tasks across the three grades (M = 6.66, SD = .30 at the first time point). Results indicated that growth in structure awareness was predicted in part by previous levels of morpheme awareness, suggesting that morpheme awareness leads the growth of structure awareness. Educational implications are discussed.

Despite its extreme geographical isolation, numerous expeditions have surveyed the marine flora and fauna of Johnston Atoll. However, historical information about the marine biodiversity of Johnston is mostly limited to SCUBA surveys in shallow-waters (<30 m), and submersible observations in deeper waters (100–500 m). Extensive coral reefs, known as mesophotic coral ecosystems, exist between these two depth ranges at Johnston, but have remained largely unexplored. We used closed-circuit rebreathers to survey eleven sites at mesophotic depths (32–78 m) surrounding Johnston Atoll. A total of 130 species were recorded, including 99 species of fish, 15 species of corals, nine species of macroalgae, three species of echinoderms, three species of sponges and one species of squat lobster. Most species recorded during our mesophotic surveys have previously been recorded on shallow-water (<30 m) reefs at Johnston, with the exception of one black coral, one zoanthid, one squat lobster, two macroalgae, three sponges, and 22 fish, which represent new records for the atoll. As noted in previous studies, our surveys found a near absence of endemism, and recorded high proportions of species that are also known from the Hawaiian Archipelago. The similarity between the mesophotic biodiversity of Johnston Atoll and Hawaiʻi provides further support for the strong connectivity between these two locations highlighted in previous studies.

Longitudinal predictors of writing composition in Chinese and English written by the same 153 Hong Kong nine-year-old children were tested, and their production errors within the English essays across ten categories, focusing on punctuation, spelling, and grammar, were compared to errors made by ninety American nine-year-olds writing on the same topic. The correlation between quality of the compositions in Chinese and English was .53. In stepwise regression analyses examining early predictors at ages between five and nine years, tasks of speed or fluency were consistently uniquely associated with Chinese writing composition; measures of English vocabulary knowledge, word reading, or both were consistently uniquely associated with English writing quality. Compared to the American children, Chinese children's writing reflected significantly higher proportions of errors in all grammatical categories but did not differ in punctuation or spelling. Findings underscore both similarities and differences in writing at different levels across languages.

Summary
Many methods are used to assess intelligence and its evolution. These include behavioral measures, which may involve naturalistic observation or analyzing responses in laboratory experiments; artifactual measures, which involve analysis of tools, art, and so forth; and anatomical/neurological measures. This chapter discusses intelligence in our closest relatives that include the great Apes such as chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans. It also addresses the question of why human intelligence evolved, and whether it is still evolving. Sexual selection, group selection, and the Baldwin effect have also been implicated as playing a role in shaping intelligence. Another possibility derives from the theory that culture constitutes a second form of evolution. By understanding the evolutionary origins of human intelligence, we gain perspective on pressing issues of today and are in a better position to use our intelligence to direct the future course of our species and our planet.

Summary
The drive to excel has long challenged humans to push their bodies, minds, and technologies in the determined pursuit of success. People have demonstrated their devotion to excellence through the years of effort and practice they have been willing to invest in accomplishing their goals (Ericsson, Krampe, & Tesch-Römer, 1993). For example, Simon and Chase (1973) observed that no one had ever attained the rank of Grandmaster in chess without at least a decade of intense preparation. This observation has since been extended to many domains, including music, sports, and academia (Bloom, 1985; Ericsson et al., 1993; Ericsson, Chapter 38). Despite folk tales about extraordinary performances by very young individuals, it is clear that the most eminent individuals in any field do not exhibit expert levels of performance prior to an extended period of preparation.
Exploration of the nature of expertise and how it develops has interested scholars, professionals, and laypeople alike, and has involved a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches. One of the enduring debates over many years of study is whether the development of expertise is largely attributable to unusual characteristics of individuals, often thought of in terms of largely inherited talents, or of their learning histories (see Horn & Masunaga, Chapter 34).

Tasks of speeded naming, phonological awareness, word identification, nonsense word repetition, and vocabulary, along with two measures of morphological awareness (morphological structure awareness and morpheme identification), were administered to 115 kindergartners and 105 second graders. In the combined sample, 48% of the variance in vocabulary knowledge was predicted by the phonological processing and reading variables. Morphological structure awareness and morpheme identification together predicted an additional unique 10% of variance in vocabulary knowledge, for a total of 58% of the variance explained; both measures of morphological awareness were uniquely associated with vocabulary knowledge. Results underscore the potential importance of different facets of morphological awareness, as distinct from phonological processing skills, for understanding variability in early vocabulary acquisition.

Summary
Two days ago I had a weekly meeting with a graduate student who is among my best students ever. She had arrived with a Master's degree in hand, and in short order, she wrote a review paper, an empirical article that is about to be sent off for possible publication, and has defended her dissertation prospectus. The agenda for our meeting was to consider predictions made by alternative models that she would evaluate for her dissertation.
Meetings with productive graduate students are the meetings faculty most look forward to, and this was no exception. Before talking about her proposed dissertation, however, the student stated that she had heard from a journal. It took me a second to remember that she had sent her review paper to a journal about 4 months ago. This was the first article she had written for a psychology-related journal, and would be her first sole-authored publication if accepted.
Unfortunately, the news was that her article had been rejected. She handed me the letter from the editor and the sole review. The editor thanked her for sending the manuscript to the journal, and wished her well in revising the article for possible publication elsewhere. I turned to the review. It began in a begrudging, complimentary fashion, noting that the writing was “pretty good” and that the conceptual views reviewed in the manuscript were “interesting.” In the course of my university career, I've read several thousand reviews, either as part of the review process for someone else's work or for my own.

Summary
PRACTICAL INTELLIGENCE
Among the most interesting and important pages of any handbook are the few pages devoted to the table of contents. More than simply an aid to finding a page number of interest, the table of contents provides at least one view – the editor's – of what constitutes a field at a given time. At a point early in the process of editing a handbook, the editor must put together a proposed table of contents. In doing so, a snapshot of the landscape that makes up a field as it exists in the mind of the editor is created. When more than one handbook or other similarly comprehensive reference work targets the same field at different points in time, comparing tables of contents can provide clues to identifying which issues and areas of inquiry are old and which are new.
Comparing the table of contents of the present edition to that of the former Handbook of Human Intelligence (Sternberg, 1982) is informative about the location of practical intelligence in the landscape of human intelligence, at least as revealed by two snapshots taken almost two decades apart by the same editor. Simply put, the former handbook did not devote a chapter to practical intelligence, although related issues such as the contextual basis of intelligence are evident. In fact, practical intelligence is not even an entry in the index of the previous work.

Single Be and Si δ-doped layers in GaAs have been investigated by Raman spectroscopy. GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs heterointerfaces, placed 30nm from the dopant spike on either side, facilitate optical measurements by the confinement of photogenerated minority carriers. Self-consistent subband calculations have been performed to compute the subband structure of the two-dimensional electron or hole gas which is confined by the space-charge induced potential well at the δ-doping layer. Upon increasing photoexcitation, the increase in density of photocreated electrons in the Be structure is clearly seen in the polarised Raman scattering spectrum by the appearance, and subsequent increase in frequency, of the electron plasmon modes. The electric field at the top GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs interface is monitored by measuring the strength of electric field induced LO phonon scattering.
