In this episode Susan Lambert is joined by Hugh Catts, Ph.D., professor at Florida State University, to break down what comprehension is and bust some myths around what it isn't. With a family history of dyslexia, he has a personal connection to the topic that led him into research in language sciences and language disorders. He discusses how his findings moved him away from viewing comprehension as simply a “component of reading” but rather something entirely separate—a condition created over time, defined by purpose, and influenced by prior knowledge. Together, Susan and Hugh address many comprehension-related contexts, such as the simple view of reading, the five pillars of reading, and comprehension's relationship to knowledge building. Hugh also gives listeners practical advice for helping students suss out their comprehension before reading, and he clarifies why understanding the standard of coherence is important.Show notes:Submit your literacy questions for a chance to win!Read: Rethinking How to Promote Reading Comprehension by Hugh CattsRead: The Simple View of Reading: Advancements and False Impressions by Hugh CattsFollow Hugh on X: @CattsHughQuotes: “If I was going to define comprehension, it's not a single thing. I mean, that's the problem. We want it to be a single thing, but it depends upon what you're reading and why you're reading it.” –Hugh Catts, Ph.D.“What comprehension is is the interaction of what you bring into that reading situation and what you already know about it and your motivation and purpose to comprehend it.” –Hugh Catts, Ph.D.“There's just not enough mental reserve to be able to build that meaning that quickly. So it helps tremendously that you have some knowledge about it beforehand. That knowledge gives you a place to put information. So when you read about something, it gives you storage for the information. It's kind of like a cubby hole that you put the mail in, in an office.” ––Hugh Catts, Ph.D.Episode timestamps* 02:00 Introduction: Who is Hugh Catts?03:00 Personal Connection to Dyslexia07:00 Rethinking comprehension as a component of reading11:00 Vocabulary and comprehension15:00 Comprehension as a condition you create16:00 Language comprehension and the simple view of reading19:00 Differences in types of comprehension26:00 What comprehension is and isn't32:00 Thinking deeply39:00 Background knowledge and comprehension42:00 Automatic inferencing 50:00 Final thoughts*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute

Arguably the most embarrassing figure in Florida History, Sidney J. Catts is probably the worst Governor that Florida ever had. The violently anti-Catholic and racist Governor was also inept at the actual art of Governance.

(We're here to solve problems.) We're all over the place this week, but let's start with the fact that if you work at McDonald's, give a little effort. Just a little. Also: Brian explains why he quit going to a certain supermarket; the time Bill Burr was lake for pick-up; OJ Simpson's ashes were turned into jewelry for his kids; a restaurant gave a toddler wine instead of apple juice; a man submitted a miniature of a famous porn set to the fair and won third prize; early Bang Bus was a genius idea; a gas station is playing classical music to keep bums away; Italian slurs are hilarious; a hack reporter tells us about the Chick-fil-a streaming service; an Indiana man got four years for trying to poison his wife; while Google Street Viewing the area around the opera playing 7-11, the boys see a man who looks like he's questioning his life choices; the best suicide songs; Mama Catss; John Philip Sousa; and finally, if Brian had been gay, would he have still fucked without bags? (Most likely, yes.)

SummaryIn this episode, the hosts discuss the RAND Model, a heuristic for thinking about reading comprehension. The model was developed in the late 1990s by the RAND Corporation in response to a need for more research on comprehension. The model considers three main components: the reader, the text, and the purpose or activity of reading. It emphasizes the active role of the reader in constructing meaning from the text and highlights the importance of text complexity, coherence, genre, and the context in which reading takes place. The hosts also explore the challenges of measuring reading comprehension and suggest a curriculum-based assessment approach.TakeawaysThe RAND Model is a heuristic for thinking about reading comprehension that considers the reader, the text, and the purpose or activity of reading.Text complexity, coherence, genre, and the context in which reading takes place are important factors in comprehension.Measuring reading comprehension with standardized tests can be challenging due to the complexity of the construct.A curriculum-based assessment approach that measures comprehension within specific disciplines may provide a more accurate and fair assessment of reading ability.ResourcesEp. 177: The Five Pillars of Reading with Hugh CattsEp. 178: The Simple View and Scarborough's Reading Rope with Researcher Hugh Catts Five Pillars of Reading with Hugh Catts Follow researcher Hugh Catts on Twitter (or X)A Heuristic for Thinking About Reading Comprehension, or the RAND Model ICYMI: Ep. 118: Rethinking Reading Comprehension with Researcher Hugh CattsConnect with us Facebook and join our Facebook Group Twitter Instagram Don't miss an episode!

SummaryIn this episode, Hugh Katz discusses two popular reading models: the Simple View of Reading and Scarborough's Reading Rope. The Simple View of Reading highlights the importance of word recognition and language comprehension in reading comprehension. It emphasizes that if a child struggles in one area, it will affect their overall reading comprehension. Scarborough's Reading Rope provides a more detailed breakdown of the components involved in reading, including background knowledge, vocabulary, language structures, verbal reasoning, strategies, and literacy knowledge. Both models help educators understand the complexity of reading and the interaction between different components.TakeawaysThe Simple View of Reading emphasizes the importance of word recognition and language comprehension in reading comprehension.Scarborough's Reading Rope provides a more detailed breakdown of the components involved in reading.Both models highlight the complexity of reading and the interaction between different components.Effective reading instruction should focus on developing both word recognition and language comprehension skills.ResourcesEp. 177: The Five Pillars of Reading with Hugh CattsFollow researcher Hugh Catts on Twitter (or X)The Simple View of Reading  Scarborough's Reading Rope ICYMI: Ep. 118: Rethinking Reading Comprehension with Researcher Hugh CattsConnect with us Facebook and join our Facebook Group Twitter Instagram Don't miss an episode!

SummaryIn this episode, the hosts discuss the five pillars from the National Reading Panel and their history. They explore the confusion that can arise from viewing these pillars as a model of how reading works. The role of fluency and the importance of differentiating instruction for the five pillars are also discussed. The conversation concludes with a reevaluation of the five pillars and a key takeaway to look beyond them. The next episodes will cover three other reading models.TakeawaysThe five pillars from the National Reading Panel are phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.The five pillars should be viewed as interconnected and treated differently in instruction.The actual chapters of the National Reading Panel focus on alphabetics, fluency, and comprehension.It is important to look beyond the five pillars and consider other reading models.ResourcesFollow researcher Hugh Catts on Twitter (or X)The National Reading Panel Report The Five Pillars of Reading Graphic The Narrow View of Reading, Alan Kamhi The Narrow View of Reading Promotes a Broad View of Comprehension, Hugh Catts ICYMI: Ep. 118: Rethinking Reading Comprehension with Researcher Hugh CattsConnect with us Facebook and join our Facebook Group Twitter Instagram Don't miss an episode!

The Commerce Department's Commerce Acquisition for Transformational Technology Services (CATTS) multiple award contract is the perfect microcosm of all that's wrong with federal procurement and small business. Despite the fact there are thousands of contracts that agencies award every day going off without a hitch — at least that's the important reminder from former federal executive David Drabkin and many others over the years — the Commerce effort to create a high-dollar, long-term relationship with small businesses flies in the face of the government's long-held goal to increase and support the small business industrial base. In fact, it's easy to argue that CATTS, and really many other similar acquisitions efforts, are detrimental to that goal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This study tests whether large-scale structural reorganization in schizophrenia relates to normative network architecture, in particular regional centrality/hubness and connectivity patterns. We examine network effects in schizophrenia across different disease stages, and transdiagnostically explore consistency of such relationships in patients with bipolar and major depressive disorder. Methods: We studied anatomical MRI scans from 2,439 adults with schizophrenia and 2,867 healthy controls from 26 ENIGMA sites. Case-control patterns of structural alterations were evaluated against two network susceptibility models: 1) hub vulnerability, which examines associations between regional network centrality and magnitude of disease-related alterations; 2) epicenter models, which identify regions whose typical connectivity profile most closely resembles the disease-related morphological alteration patterns. Both susceptibility models were tested across schizophrenia disease stages and compared to meta-analytic bipolar and major depressive disorder case-control maps. Results: In schizophrenia, regional gray matter reductions co-localized with interconnected hubs, in both the functional (r=0.58, pspin less than 0.0001) and structural connectome (r=0.32, pspin=0.01). Epicenters were identified in temporo-paralimbic regions, extending to frontal areas. We found unique epicenters for first-episode and early stages, and a shift from occipital to temporal-frontal epicenters in chronic stages. Transdiagnostic comparisons revealed shared epicenters in schizophrenia and bipolar, but not major depressive disorders. Conclusions: Cortical reorganization over the course of schizophrenia closely reflects brain network architecture, emphasizing marked hub susceptibility and temporo-frontal epicenters. The observed overlapping epicenters for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder furthermore suggest shared pathophysiological processes within the schizophrenia-bipolar-spectrum.

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereEpisode Summary:This just in! Students do better when they are engaged and motivated! Okay... maybe that's not a newsflash for you, but perhaps you haven't yet thought about the role of engagement and motivation in academics, specifically writing endeavors for students who struggle with language. In this week's episode, Dr. Robin Danzack of Emerson College in Boston floods the podcast newswaves with her expertise on the role of “authentic” student writing intervention in school-based SLP practice. Tune in to discover why you should be thinking about writing (specifically “authentic” writing) as an SLP and how you can join forces with your fellow educators to integrate meaningful, dual-purpose, curriculum-based, writing interventions into your assessment and support practices. Got any comic book or video game fans on your caseload? You'll get some great tips to further bolster your existing strength as an SLP in customizing interventions to meet your students' unique needs and interests while fostering growth in language and literacy, simultaneously. As with many thought-provoking episodes in the Nerdcast library, you won't take your ear off this one, and I guarantee you'll leave inspired to weave writing into the fabric of your language intervention, and to spread the news across the virtual or physical break room!Learn more about Robin hereLearning Outcomes1.

Literacy, a fundamental human right, is foundational for a child’s potential toward academic and lifelong success. For children with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia, mastering skilled reading can feel like an impossible endeavor without necessary support and teaching using proven instructional methods. Fortunately, there are powerful research-based antidotes toward potentially preventing a destiny of reading failure. In this episode, Hugh Catts, PhD explains why early screening and proven, effective reading intervention are critical to mitigating reading disabilities in children. He outlines the research supporting the current model, developed with Yaacov Petscher, PhD, which examines the factors that increase the probability of developing dyslexia. Being able to identify these factors is important to better understand how to effectively screen and provide more comprehensive support for all students, offering implications for research, policy, and education.Bookmarks and Resources:Do you want to learn more from this episode?

Talking Mental Health with Joe Morris from CATTS Ireland

In an era when Florida and the south was dominated by one party and African-Americans had been disenfranchised, Sidney J. Catts came to power. His Governorship was lamentable era for the state as he publicly advocated racism towards African-Americans while fueling paranoia about Catholics and the possibility of a Papal takeover of Florida.

Graham was joined yesterday by Sky Sports presenter, MLF, away day regular and all round nice guy - Tom White - to review the tenure of Jack Ross at SAFC; from his start at the club to his recent departure and everything in-between... Looking at decisions to make Honeyman his captain instead of Catts, his transfer windows, his tactics, the way he conducted himself as Sunderland manager and Tom's favourite memories of our time under him. We also get to hear Tom's opinions on the apparent front-runners for the vacancy as well as a few rather leftfield suggestions on who the club might want to look into!

Margo Catts’ new novel Among the Lesser Gods (Arcade Publishing, 2017) opens in 1978, as Elena Alvarez, a newly minuted physics graduate living in LA, discovers she’s pregnant.  She considers it to be just one more mistake in a lifetime of screw-ups.  Her mother abandoned her after she accidentally set a deadly fire as a child, and she was raised by her cold distant father. She felt loved only when visiting her grandmother, who divides her time between the town of Leadville, Colorado, and a rustic mountain cabin in an old abandoned mining town.  When her grandmother writes to ask Elena to come and babysit for two children whose mother is “gone,” Elena accepts with hopes that she can put off making any real decisions about her future. Through her grandmother’s stories, Elena starts to understand her father’s remoteness, and as the children she babysits become more attached to her, she starts to understand herself.  “It seems a person is never finished learning about sorrow…”  Elena’s internal conflicts, metaphysical musings, and reflections on family and forgiveness are all part of the stunning landscape.  Then the two children go missing, and Elena is forced to confront the guilt that has followed her since childhood.

"We said it would be really nice if the first tissue-engineered sculptures to be presented within a cultural context would be a something like a worry doll because it would express our anxieties and worries and the fact that it's not that simple." Hidden away in the School of Anatomy, Physiology and Human Biology at the University of Western Australia, is SymbioticA. It's a place where art is created - using living materials and scientific techniques - to make us think about what is happening in the world of biotechnology. Make no mistake, it IS as unique and unusual as it sounds. It's founders, Oron Catts and Dr Ionat Zurr are celebrated around the world for their pioneering works, including making the first piece of in-vitro meat and the victimless leather jacket which had to "die" spectacularly in the Museum of Modern Art on New York where it made it's debut.

For this episode we are on site with Mark Shorter and Sach Catts, at Cementa17. We listen into their conversation as they discuss their collaborative endurance performance work 'Chip Chop Chanty', the intention of the work and leaking water pipes. In their conversation Mark and Sach, explore methods of collaboration and unpack the connections of work and labour both in practice and theory. They discuss and interrogate the concept of purpose, logistics, politics, and what it means to dig and occupy a hole.

Stelarc comments the various degrees of aliveness running through his work from his recent robotic choreography (Propel, 2015) which combines the automated and the improvised. In reflecting upon the NeoLife conference opening exhibition Futile Labor (I. Zurr, O. Catts, C. Salter, D. Wards) that examined shifting perceptions of life through motion and agency, Stelarc offers elements of response to the very question of what minimum vocabulary of behavior or movement is needed to generate a sense of aliveness. http://stelarc.org/video/?videoID=20300

"We said it would be really nice if the first tissue-engineered sculptures to be presented within a cultural context would be a something like a worry doll because it would express our anxieties and worries and the fact that it's not that simple." Hidden away in the School of Anatomy, Physiology and Human Biology at the University of Western Australia, is SymbioticA. It's a place where art is created - using living materials and scientific techniques - to make us think about what is happening in the world of biotechnology. Make no mistake, it IS as unique and unusual as it sounds. It's founders, Oron Catts and Dr Ionat Zurr are celebrated around the world for their pioneering works, including making the first piece of in-vitro meat and the victimless leather jacket which had to "die" spectacularly in the Museum of Modern Art on New York where it made it's debut. Catts and Zurr have been appointed to the Royal College of Art in London but will divide their time between the college and SymbioticA.

“It’s now a reality”, Jens Hauser announced at the 2003 Biotech Art exhibition, “artists are in the labs. They are intentionally transgressing procedures of representation and metaphor, going beyond them to manipulate life itself. Biotechnology is no longer just a topic, but a tool, generally generating green fluorescent animals, wings for pigs and sculpture moulded in bioreactors or under the microscope, and using DNA itself as an artistic medium.” To challenge the validity of singular and fixed species at this “evolutionary crossroad” of genetically engineered mammals and organ transpeciation, Transgenic artists have intervened into biogenetic technology in roles first imagined by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Through the microinjection of DNA with cells containing green fluorescent protein into a rabbit zygote, Eduardo Kac was able to genetically engineer GFK Bunny. Using living tissues, Zurr and Catts created ‘partial life sculptures’ at SymbioticA including frog-steaks and even flying pigs. In their collaboration with Stelarc, SymbioticA has also grown a 1Ž4 scale replica of his ear made out of human cartilage cells, implanted upon Stelarc’s arm in 2010. Following the launch of The Humane Genome Project, Patricia Piccinini chose silicon, acrylic and fibreglass, rather than human and non-human tissue to produce The Mutant Genome Project (TMGP) and Lifeforms with Unevolved Mutant Properties (LUMP) – genetically mutant babies engineered to look like pink-skinned tumours or, in her words, “a cute grotesquery”. As controversies raged over organ xenotransplantation and interspecies breeding, Piccinini created a human sow suckling a litter of 'pigren'. This year she produced a controversial skywhale, part-human, part-whale, able to take flight. As Kac explains, “Transgenic Art is, a new artistic terrain and art form based on the use of genetic engineering to transfer natural or synthetic genes to an organism – to create unique living beings.” Yet this can only be done, he stresses, “with great care … and above all, with a commitment to respect, nurture and love of the life thus created.” By focusing upon the bioethics of transhumanist genetics in relation to this Transgenic Art, this lecture will examine how these artists also engage in the nurturance and reciprocity of transgenetic and transpecies creations, rarely addressed in genetic biotechnologies, to consider how they are not rejected, unlike Dr. Frankenstein's "modern prometheus" but are incorporated into our posthuman evolutionary era.

Oron Catts is the director of SymbioticA at the University of Western Australia. SymbtioticA is laboratory that is “dedicated to the research, learning, critique and hands on engagement with the life sciences.” Catts is also co founder of The Tissue Culture & Arts Project (TC&A). In this podcast the interviewer Bridgette Mongeon and Oron Catts discuss the artwork Victimless Leather, Living tissue that is grown in a laboratory that resembles skin. This is a very charged topic. Introduction to the art and SymbioticA may cause some to gasp. Some of the interviewers questions were first raised in the article Frankensteinian Art? _______________ You are welcome to use this podcast on your website.
