Great work you're doing on the article aphasia. If possible would you be able to do add (a sentence or so) something about paraphasia into aphasia... as i belive aphasia is a major group- and paraphasia is like a sub group. That is if it's appropriate. Would add it myself but I don't know much about both conditions (apart from the basics about paraphasia) so yeah, if u can that would be great :).
Keep up the great work! Cya. petze 14:45, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your encouragement! However, paraphasia is not in itself considered a subtype of aphasia, but a symptom that can occur in different subtypes of aphasia. Patients with
Wernicke's aphasia,
Transcortical sensory aphasia,
Conduction aphasia,
Anomic aphasia and
Broca's aphasia can suffer from paraphasia.
Cheers! :)

I can't remember the results, but I think it showed things were less problematic than they were made out to be. I could be wrong, though.

Hi Lova
I think there is a need for a new article called "Dyslexia" which acknowledges the existenve of both developmental dyslexia and alexia (acquired dyslexia). This would mean 3 articles in place of the current 2. The first question is how do we best set about converting the current Dyslexia article to a new "Developmental Dyslexia" article which would be the best match for the existing content. The big problem for me previously has been the lack of research which provides accurate definitions of the various subtypes of Alexia, well more about me being able to find it. I think the problem had been that the bulk of Alexia research had been done case by case, and it is only recently that the technology and understanding has come together to enable researchers to change the research model based on the the types of lesion etc and to see the effects of the various lesions in various areas of the brain. I hope i am making some sort of sense. dolfrog ( talk) 18:13, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Love, thanks for your work on the meditation article. I noticed you changed the blockquote, which was cited in its entirety to page 49 of the Perez-De-Albeniz et al paper. You substituted the full reference for the Kutz reference. I agree that the previous quotation left the Kutz reference (and the other where you inserted a "specify" request) as undesirable loose ends. However, in line with your own recent point about being faithful to properly representing quotations, it doesn't seem desirable to me to change the quote itself (which would seemingly leave the Perez-de-Albeniz paper misquoted, since quotes are generally expected to be literal; at minimum, perhaps we should put a notation in the footnote, stating that this was a reference cited by Perez-de-Albeniz et al). Instead, my impulse would be just to replace the loose-end quotes with ellipses. We have already cited the entire blockquote to the Perez-de-Albeniz paper, so no further citation is required.
BTW, FYI (since I have the Perez-de-Albeniz paper), the Teasdale et al is listed in their reference section as: TEASDALE, J.D., SEGAL, Z. & WILLIAMS, M.G. (1995). How does cognitive therapy prevent depressive relapse and why should attentional control (mindfulness) training help? Behaviour Research Therapy, 33, pp. 25-39. And the other Kutz paper cited by Perez-de-Albeniz (Kutz, 1985b) was: KUTZ, I., LESERMAN, J., DORRINGTON, C., MORRISON, C.H., BORYSENKO, J. & BENSON, H. (1985b). Meditation as an adjunct to psychotherapy, an outcome study, Psychotherapy Psychosomatics, 43, pp. 209± 218.However, as per my previous argument, I think we should just replace it to ellipses.
Frankly, I suspect we may want to replace this entire blockquote before long, as per earlier discussion... though I'm not advocating that we replace it right now. -- Health Researcher ( talk) 17:12, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for editing my edits, I agree with what you changed back, and probably was just a little too ready to edit or something.
This section on meditation that you reverted me edit for, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Meditation&diff=next&oldid=369143271 I found a little... um, like upsetting, just because it didn't include a diverse spectrum of possible methods of meditation, including, a very common example just off the top of my head, metta meditation, where one self-induces a state of universal compassion. This state clearly does not fit within either 'concentrative' nor 'mindfulness' meditation categories.
This article from 2007, a review of current scientific literature on meditation practices, http://compassion.stanford.edu/pdf/Dunne_Ch%2019%20Lutz%20Dunne%20Davidson-1.pdf in a section entitled, "'Defining Meditation'", "...notes the need for a more precise understanding of meditation as a scientific explanandum. Arguing for the importance of distinguishing the particularities of various traditions, the section presents the theory of meditation from the paradigmatic perspective of Buddhism, and it discusses the difficulties encountered when working with such theories..."
Granted that this review I mention is from 2007, and there might've been some progress in the meanwhile, and certainly there are some similarities between meditation practices so that we might say that some more specific and local practices of meditation all train the ability to concentrate and do about the same thing psychologically, however, the belief that all, "the various techniques of meditation are often classified by... concentration meditation... mindfulness meditation," is just plain incorrect :?
I should get back to work for now. Also, I left a note under the Talk page, and will certainly be back in a bit to continue to help out. I would like to leave the door open to talking about different types of meditation, even just shamatha and vipassana categories have a signficant role in talking about similarities across different Buddhist religious traditions, for example. If you have any ideas about it or would like me to do anything with it then let me know how I can help out, I know some about meditation and practice shamatha myself, which further makes me want to shed light on the good practice itself.
Also, I copied the bit I quoted to you above about 'Defining Meditation' to the meditation article as well, yet didn't reference the article like Wikipedians should I guess, so if you want to then it's there to do. Thanks for your help and hopefully we can make it better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Makeswell ( talk • contribs) 17:59, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Lova,
I'd love to have you read Special education#Setting and tell me what you think about it. The article needs to provide a general overview that applies to just about everyone (at least in developed countries), but we've got constant pressure to remove any and all terms or concepts that aren't immediately familiar to the average resident of the UK (that is, people that aren't educators, psychologists, or parents of special needs kids). Typically, the demand is that we not provide any overview at all, and turn the article into a "Special education by country" article.
There have been a lot of changes recently, including some by a permabanned sock. I'd love to have an outside view from someone who isn't in either the USA or the UK. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 18:07, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Lova, now I'm starting to see a lot of your edits on my watchlist, which evidently means we are both watching many of the same articles about psychology. I'll be continuing to update my Intelligence Citations list, and will soon be adding to my user space a similar list about reading instruction, writing systems, and dyslexia. As you see, I have also begun more substantive edits after lurking around for about two months. When the dust clears from the Race and intelligence article arbitration case, I expect to be actively editing the articles on IQ testing and human intelligence continually, maybe for the rest of my life. It's great to have you on board Wikipedia looking after articles on psychology. I especially wanted to say that just now, because this user talk page of yours is one page I follow, and I see you just had to delete very uncivil comments by an editor who needs to be reminded of good manners. Keep up the good work. See you on various articles from time to time. -- WeijiBaikeBianji ( talk) 12:06, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Ms Falk, The point of this edit was to link the hearing impairment article to an existing article on presbycusis, briefly summarizing the latter. Since the presbycusis article already contains references supporting the statements in my summary, I thought it was unnecessary to repeat them. What motivated me to make this edit was noticing that the hearing impairment article, while quite extensive, had omitted one of the most common causes of hearing impairment. Before gathering independent source material on presbycusis to add to the hearing impairment article, I checked to see whether there was already an article on presbycusis. Finding that there was, I added the link and summary. Harmonizing and improving the cross-linking of articles in Wikipedia in this way is a kind of minor editing with which I have had some experience, and which I feel offers a significant opportunity for improving Wikipedia's usefulness to the reader.

Hi. Thanks for helping out with the Attachment therapy sock. As you can see it's been going on for years. It's good to have editors covering different timezones as other wise he manages to spam his therapy for considerable periods of time.

The other day you submitted a false positive report because you found yourself unable to edit someone's talk page. If you have not already seen, it was due to an accident in the code of a particular edit filter which was quickly fixed by the MediaWiki software itself. The code has been reverted to the last good version and this should not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however; if people hadn't reported it we wouldn't have known there was a problem. I have removed the false positive reports as I felt it was easier to just go to the people who submitted them directly. — Soap — 23:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

...I'd like to add something, just to be a bit more clear (though I'll have to wait on an answer, as I can see this user is on holiday... Oh well, c'est la vie):
"More content", does not automatically mean "better page". "Less content" doesn't automatically mean "worse page".
If it did, why are so many acts of vandalism removed from pages, despite so many of them actually adding to the content?
It is because there is a rather significant difference between quantity and quality.--

(copying what I just added to Talk:Fine motor skill: Having read up a bit on Wikipedia policies on the subject, I can see why just reverting the page back, would be a bad idea (what with revert wars and all), but... FFS! I did a bold edit, with the backing of the consensus. I took out stuff that didn't belong on the page, and tried to make it as good as I could. I waited a long time, before making the edit, and put thought into it. In other words: I was completely justified in my edit and followed Wikipedia policy. ...and then someone goes in and seemingly due to a knee-jerk reaction, reverts it (i.e. making a major modification, in no way different from "simply removing content"), without any considerations about how that improves or worsens the page and despite it going against consensus ...and then the person in question disappears for several months!

Just in case you ever return to looking at this page: The page Fine motor skill now has the (vastly improved) content I gave it. I didn't go against the revert rules though. I renamed the previous Fine motor skill page, as Childhood development of fine motor skills, and made a page at Fine motor skill with the little contents I once gave it ...and marked it as a stub, in the hope that others will go in an improve it.

Your doing a great job fighting vandalism. Just a tip on Free running it helps sometimes to pull up a pervious edit of a page and check for a bit of embedded vandalism. I tend to pull up an old edit before the carnage and simply save the old version of the page to make sure everything is removed. Sometimes these guys stick in a few threads and we miss them on huggle, at anyrate your doing a fine job keep it up :) Ottawa4ever ( talk) 18:07, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

ALF paper cited at least seven times from 1991-2007 [1] (at least one additional book and journal cite it as well, [2] [3] which brings the total to 9) which tells me it was notable enough for our purposes in the field of group and play therapy for children.

Hi Lova
I think there is a need for a new article called "Dyslexia" which acknowledges the existenve of both developmental dyslexia and alexia (acquired dyslexia). This would mean 3 articles in place of the current 2. The first question is how do we best set about converting the current Dyslexia article to a new "Developmental Dyslexia" article which would be the best match for the existing content. The big problem for me previously has been the lack of research which provides accurate definitions of the various subtypes of Alexia, well more about me being able to find it. I think the problem had been that the bulk of Alexia research had been done case by case, and it is only recently that the technology and understanding has come together to enable researchers to change the research model based on the the types of lesion etc and to see the effects of the various lesions in various areas of the brain. I hope i am making some sort of sense. dolfrog ( talk) 18:13, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Love, thanks for your work on the meditation article. I noticed you changed the blockquote, which was cited in its entirety to page 49 of the Perez-De-Albeniz et al paper. You substituted the full reference for the Kutz reference. I agree that the previous quotation left the Kutz reference (and the other where you inserted a "specify" request) as undesirable loose ends. However, in line with your own recent point about being faithful to properly representing quotations, it doesn't seem desirable to me to change the quote itself (which would seemingly leave the Perez-de-Albeniz paper misquoted, since quotes are generally expected to be literal; at minimum, perhaps we should put a notation in the footnote, stating that this was a reference cited by Perez-de-Albeniz et al). Instead, my impulse would be just to replace the loose-end quotes with ellipses. We have already cited the entire blockquote to the Perez-de-Albeniz paper, so no further citation is required.
BTW, FYI (since I have the Perez-de-Albeniz paper), the Teasdale et al is listed in their reference section as: TEASDALE, J.D., SEGAL, Z. & WILLIAMS, M.G. (1995). How does cognitive therapy prevent depressive relapse and why should attentional control (mindfulness) training help? Behaviour Research Therapy, 33, pp. 25-39. And the other Kutz paper cited by Perez-de-Albeniz (Kutz, 1985b) was: KUTZ, I., LESERMAN, J., DORRINGTON, C., MORRISON, C.H., BORYSENKO, J. & BENSON, H. (1985b). Meditation as an adjunct to psychotherapy, an outcome study, Psychotherapy Psychosomatics, 43, pp. 209± 218.However, as per my previous argument, I think we should just replace it to ellipses.
Frankly, I suspect we may want to replace this entire blockquote before long, as per earlier discussion... though I'm not advocating that we replace it right now. -- Health Researcher ( talk) 17:12, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for editing my edits, I agree with what you changed back, and probably was just a little too ready to edit or something.
This section on meditation that you reverted me edit for, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Meditation&diff=next&oldid=369143271 I found a little... um, like upsetting, just because it didn't include a diverse spectrum of possible methods of meditation, including, a very common example just off the top of my head, metta meditation, where one self-induces a state of universal compassion. This state clearly does not fit within either 'concentrative' nor 'mindfulness' meditation categories.
This article from 2007, a review of current scientific literature on meditation practices, http://compassion.stanford.edu/pdf/Dunne_Ch%2019%20Lutz%20Dunne%20Davidson-1.pdf in a section entitled, "'Defining Meditation'", "...notes the need for a more precise understanding of meditation as a scientific explanandum. Arguing for the importance of distinguishing the particularities of various traditions, the section presents the theory of meditation from the paradigmatic perspective of Buddhism, and it discusses the difficulties encountered when working with such theories..."
Granted that this review I mention is from 2007, and there might've been some progress in the meanwhile, and certainly there are some similarities between meditation practices so that we might say that some more specific and local practices of meditation all train the ability to concentrate and do about the same thing psychologically, however, the belief that all, "the various techniques of meditation are often classified by... concentration meditation... mindfulness meditation," is just plain incorrect :?
I should get back to work for now. Also, I left a note under the Talk page, and will certainly be back in a bit to continue to help out. I would like to leave the door open to talking about different types of meditation, even just shamatha and vipassana categories have a signficant role in talking about similarities across different Buddhist religious traditions, for example. If you have any ideas about it or would like me to do anything with it then let me know how I can help out, I know some about meditation and practice shamatha myself, which further makes me want to shed light on the good practice itself.
Also, I copied the bit I quoted to you above about 'Defining Meditation' to the meditation article as well, yet didn't reference the article like Wikipedians should I guess, so if you want to then it's there to do. Thanks for your help and hopefully we can make it better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Makeswell ( talk • contribs) 17:59, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Lova,
I'd love to have you read Special education#Setting and tell me what you think about it. The article needs to provide a general overview that applies to just about everyone (at least in developed countries), but we've got constant pressure to remove any and all terms or concepts that aren't immediately familiar to the average resident of the UK (that is, people that aren't educators, psychologists, or parents of special needs kids). Typically, the demand is that we not provide any overview at all, and turn the article into a "Special education by country" article.
There have been a lot of changes recently, including some by a permabanned sock. I'd love to have an outside view from someone who isn't in either the USA or the UK. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 18:07, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Lova, now I'm starting to see a lot of your edits on my watchlist, which evidently means we are both watching many of the same articles about psychology. I'll be continuing to update my Intelligence Citations list, and will soon be adding to my user space a similar list about reading instruction, writing systems, and dyslexia. As you see, I have also begun more substantive edits after lurking around for about two months. When the dust clears from the Race and intelligence article arbitration case, I expect to be actively editing the articles on IQ testing and human intelligence continually, maybe for the rest of my life. It's great to have you on board Wikipedia looking after articles on psychology. I especially wanted to say that just now, because this user talk page of yours is one page I follow, and I see you just had to delete very uncivil comments by an editor who needs to be reminded of good manners. Keep up the good work. See you on various articles from time to time. -- WeijiBaikeBianji ( talk) 12:06, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Please can you "watch" template {{ bullying}}, it has a habit of getting ripped apart by uninformed editors. Thx-- Penbat ( talk) 15:13, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Dear Ms Falk, The point of this edit was to link the hearing impairment article to an existing article on presbycusis, briefly summarizing the latter. Since the presbycusis article already contains references supporting the statements in my summary, I thought it was unnecessary to repeat them. What motivated me to make this edit was noticing that the hearing impairment article, while quite extensive, had omitted one of the most common causes of hearing impairment. Before gathering independent source material on presbycusis to add to the hearing impairment article, I checked to see whether there was already an article on presbycusis. Finding that there was, I added the link and summary. Harmonizing and improving the cross-linking of articles in Wikipedia in this way is a kind of minor editing with which I have had some experience, and which I feel offers a significant opportunity for improving Wikipedia's usefulness to the reader.

Hi. Thanks for helping out with the Attachment therapy sock. As you can see it's been going on for years. It's good to have editors covering different timezones as other wise he manages to spam his therapy for considerable periods of time. I've also been wondering whether or not there should even be an article on Dyadic developmental psychotherapy. Quite a lot of effort was put into rewriting it after the AT sock was finally banned to stop it being an advert. However, is it sufficiently notable in itself?

Good work on the Psychology section of the Adolescence article. It is good to have you around helping out with so many sexual/psychological/social topics. As for the Childhood/Adolescence/Adult scale in the Puberty section, I understand people making it bigger, but I feel that it is not needed since people can just click on it (most will figure this out, I feel); this is why I have always reduced it back to 600px, and also to keep the article perfectly alligned. But I will not revert you on that. Thanks for the help. Flyer22 ( talk) 19:41, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

The other day you submitted a false positive report because you found yourself unable to edit someone's talk page. If you have not already seen, it was due to an accident in the code of a particular edit filter which was quickly fixed by the MediaWiki software itself. The code has been reverted to the last good version and this should not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however; if people hadn't reported it we wouldn't have known there was a problem. I have removed the false positive reports as I felt it was easier to just go to the people who submitted them directly. — Soap — 23:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Could you please explain how your modification of the page improved it, in any way, shape or form?
In what way, was the modification you undid, not an improvement upon what preceded it?
Could you explain how someone who speaks of strongly disagreeing to "simply removing content instead of trying to improve it" (emphasis mine), removes a major modification, without taking these issues into account?

...I'd like to add something, just to be a bit more clear (though I'll have to wait on an answer, as I can see this user is on holiday... Oh well, c'est la vie):
"More content", does not automatically mean "better page". "Less content" doesn't automatically mean "worse page".
If it did, why are so many acts of vandalism removed from pages, despite so many of them actually adding to the content?
It is because there is a rather significant difference between quantity and quality.--

(copying what I just added to Talk:Fine motor skill: Having read up a bit on Wikipedia policies on the subject, I can see why just reverting the page back, would be a bad idea (what with revert wars and all), but... FFS! I did a bold edit, with the backing of the consensus. I took out stuff that didn't belong on the page, and tried to make it as good as I could. I waited a long time, before making the edit, and put thought into it. In other words: I was completely justified in my edit and followed Wikipedia policy. ...and then someone goes in and seemingly due to a knee-jerk reaction, reverts it (i.e. making a major modification, in no way different from "simply removing content"), without any considerations about how that improves or worsens the page and despite it going against consensus ...and then the person in question disappears for several months! FFS, how long a holiday can you take! Do I really have to keep from making a revert, in these circumstances? There is no way to progress, as it is.-- 213.113.51.41 ( talk) 02:04, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
Just in case you ever return to looking at this page: The page Fine motor skill now has the (vastly improved) content I gave it. I didn't go against the revert rules though. I renamed the previous Fine motor skill page, as Childhood development of fine motor skills, and made a page at Fine motor skill with the little contents I once gave it ...and marked it as a stub, in the hope that others will go in an improve it. This time I have removed exactly ZERO content (though I am considering PRODing the Childhood development of fine motor skills article). Any complaints?-- ZarlanTheGreen ( talk) 19:17, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
