Clinical Utility of the Rorschach Inkblot Method: Reframing the Debate

  Phase   Period     1 1921- 1950s The unbridled optimism period This period was marked by widespread interest in the RIM, aided in part by these seminal publications of Schafer (1954) 2 1960s Increasing skepticism period widespread misuse of the test by clinicians (typically involving biased, impressionistic interpretation. 3 1974 onwards The psychometrization period Comprehensive System (CS) for RIM scoring and interpretation (subsequently revised and refined in 1986, and again in 1993). With the publication of Exner’s CS, a single overarching framework was adoptedby most (although not all) RIM users. The empirical foundation of the RIM was strengthened, and the test achieved a degree of respectability that it had not enjoyed for some time (see Meyer, 1999; Weiner, 1995, 2000a) 4...

TOM as the theoretical Framework

  TOM, weak central coherence and executive functioning difficulties are underlying cognitive features associated with Autism. These cognitive features effect the way students or children process in the environment including: 1.       Impairments recognizing the mental states (TOM) of others can result in difficulty understanding social interactions, relating to their peers and knowing what to do to fitting in. 2.     Hyper focus on the details of a lesson, piece of work or social situation (Weak central coherence) can result in difficulty understanding the big picture and coping when things change. 3.       Problems organizing and coordinating multiple tasks (Poor executive functioning) can lead to difficulty coping with the workload, prioritising and displaying flexibility in problem solving.

Rorschach Scoring system

  1. RIAP5 The unlimited-use RIAP5 generates a revised Interpretive Report that assists the clinician with scoring and interpretation. In addition, the program provides a Client Report—an abbreviated, individualized, and simplified version of the RIAP5 Interpretive Report—that is intended to be read and retained by the client. https://www.parinc.com/Products/Pkey/361 Interpretive report: https://www.parinc.com/WebUploads/samplerpts/RIAP5IR.pdf Client report: https://www.parinc.com/WebUploads/samplerpts/RIAP5CR.pdf 2. VIRTUAL PYSCHOLOGY Rorschach Assistance Program (version 3.0.8) is a secured online application designed to assists professionals with the complex task of coding and interpreting the Rorschach Inkblot test in accordance with the latest theoretical and practical developments of Exner's Comprehensive System methodology.

Big Data analytics methods

  SOurce: file:///C:/PHD/NOV%20DATA%20AI%20SCIENCE/Literature_Review_on_Big_Data_Analytics_Methods.pdf 1.CNN  inspired from neural network model as a type of deep learning algorithm has a “convolutional layer” and “subsampling layer” architecture. Multi-instance data is deployed as a bag of instances in which each data point is a set of instances. CNN has been known with three features namely “local field,” “subsampling,” and “weight sharing” and comprised of three layers, which are input, hidden that consists of “convolutional layer” and “subsampling layer” and output layer. In hidden layer, each “convolutional layer” comes after “subsampling layer.”  2. Deep neural network (DNN)  A deep architecture in supervised data has been introduced with advances in computation algorithm and method, which is called deep neural network (DNN) [3]. It originates from shallow artificial neural networks (SANN) that are related to artificial intelligence (AI). DNN deploys ...

Inclusive special education: development of a new theory for the education of children with special educational needs and disabilities

 Inclusive education and special education are based on different philosophies and provide alternative views of education for children with special educational needs and disabilities. They are increasingly regarded as diametrically opposed in their approaches. This article presents a theory of inclusive special education that comprises a synthesis of the philosophy, values and practices of inclusive education with the interventions, strategies and procedures of special education. Development of inclusive special education aims to provide a vision and guidelines for policies, procedures and teaching strategies that will facilitate the provision of effective education for all children with special educational needs and disabilities https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312724641_From_Inclusion_and_Special_Education_to_Inclusive_Special_Education
