Merging SID into SPD

Hi, I have proposed that the article Sensory integration dysfunction be merged into an article on SPD that you have been involved in editing. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going to the Talk page for Sensory processing disorder (click this link to go there), and adding your comments on that discussion page. Thank you. Popsup (talk) 20:30, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Hum so this appears to be collections of papers you have selected yourself that you are attempting to push into Wikipedia against policy.

Developmental coordination disorder

I couldn't help but notice your changes to Developmental Dyspraxia article including the name change to "Developmental Coordination Disorder" that seems to have been done with no discussion, might I ask why you decided not to go the full hog and use "Clumsy Child Syndrome" if you wanted to use pathologising language not commonly accepted by dyspraxics?86.183.9.199 (talk) 23:14, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

The article needs more medical citations from medical research, which as the citations included in the introduction now use the more practical name of Developmental Coordination Disorder to describe the condition, to describe the issues involved relate to the various sometimes co-morbid conditions. There is a redirect on the Developmental dyspraxia page to the Developmental Coordination Disorder article. These conditions change their name as research progresses and improves the understanding of the issues, as you have observed in the first name "Clumsy Child Syndrome" Hopefully you could become a member of Wikipedia and have your own talk page. dolfrog (talk) 12:28, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Can you help?

i'm terribly sorry for the mistakes i am likely to make in my first attempt at joining a talk page. (long-time reader, first-time contributer, etc.) i merely wanted to bring up usage of words like "normal" verses "typical" when it comes to discussing stigmatized medical conditions and disabilities. (uh, sorry for randomly addressing this at a specific stranger, who is not my intended target. i just couldn't figure out how to do ANYTHING, so i chose the post with the most recent date.)

anyway, i have frequently seen the word "typical" become more standard in the medical community, as opposed to "normal", because it has fewer judgmental associations or implications. i am not feeling up-to-par in terms of expertise or any clear decision to edit this page, and understand that the apa has recently reclassified many diagnoses associated with types of autism in the latest dsm. am not yet well-informed enough, however, about specifics, to make an unassisted judgment call on how to address the frequent use of the deprecated term "normal" throughout this article.

thank you to anyone who is willing to help a newcomer address this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Howdoiwiki (talk • contribs) 12:47, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

I will help if I can, do you want to have a Wikipedia user account, so that you can have your own user and talk pages, (like this one) so that you can make contact with other regular Wikipedia editors. I am still making mistakes and learning from others. And I also prefer "typical" to "normal" as you described. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask, but I can not be sure to always have an answer dolfrog (talk) 13:07, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

See page move discussion at Talk:Epilepsy in females with intellectual disability. Good intentions but wrong result. We've not got a syndrome name that only appears on Wikipedia. -- Colin°^Talk 21:19, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Epilepsy and intellectual disability are two seperate issues, this Epilepsy in females with intellectual disability refers to co-morbid epilepsy and intellectual disability; so if one name is changed independently then then there is a need for any comorbid name to change as well. dolfrog (talk) 21:38, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

There seems to be a US or North American preference to continue using th term "mental retardation" which seems to reflect a USA skew/bias on Wikipedia in general dolfrog (talk) 21:58, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

You are applying rules governing sentences we write with rules governing the naming of things. We can reword phrases and sentences. We can't rename things. This article title is a name, not a phrase. Colin°^Talk 23:16, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

unfortunately you seem to live in the past, and not realised that the name has changed, this seems to be a problem with many academics, time for you and others to catch up dolfrog (talk) 13:40, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

I think you have the best of intentions. I sure wish it had a different name. It doesn't. Colin°^Talk 23:05, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

If they name has changed provide a ref. If you cannot do not change the naming of the article. We do not invent new names for disease here. We simply reflect sources. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 22:48, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Phonological development page

Hi Dolfrog,

I changed one line in the "Phonological development" article. It cites an article which indicates that infants respond differently to their own name at 6 months than they do to stress-matched foils (e.g. Jimmy prefers "Jimmy! Jimmy" over "Mikey! Mikey" while Mikey exhibits the opposite preference). The following sentence is the problem. It say this indicates that infants have associated their name with themselves. This does not follow from the Mandel et al. finding. It is entirely possible, and actually in my opinion somewhat likely, that they are merely responding to their own name because it is more frequent in their input. The Mandel finding is consistent with both possibilities. Therefore it does *not* indicate that infants have associated their names with the meaning "me"; this is a logical error which renders the sentence literally false. The sentence can be made true by pointing out both interpretations, or hedging in some way ("It is not known at this time whether infants also know that their name refers to themselves; they could be simply responding to their name because it is more frequent in their input.") Somewhat less desirably, the second sentence could be deleted entirely (since it would require a citation and as far as I know, none exists; it is extremely difficult to design tests which reliably determine whether infants know the meaning of pronouns and anaphors).

I do not know why you have reverted the edit, although I do see that according to the editorial policy this does not count as a minor edit.

Marketing / Studies

Are all studies posted on the Scientific Learning page considered marketing? Should we remove all? How is it determined which research is "marketing" and which research is "research"?
