Supporting children who struggle with self-regulation : the role of early family risk and child care quality

Creator:: Pratt, Megan E.
Abstract:: Children's early self-regulation skills have long-term implications for a variety of academic, social, and health outcomes. Unfortunately, children facing multiple family risk factors (e.g., harsh parenting, economic disadvantage) are more likely to struggle with early self-regulation. Despite early disparities in self-regulation, promising intervention evidence suggests that high quality prekindergarten experiences...

Predictors of early growth in academic achievement : the head-toes-knees-shoulders task

Creator:: McClelland, Megan M., Cameron, Claire E., Duncan, Robert, Bowles, Ryan P., Acock, Alan C., Miao, Alicia, and Pratt, Megan E.
Abstract:: Children’s behavioral self-regulation and executive function (EF; including attentional or cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control) are strong predictors of academic achievement. The present study examined the psychometric properties of a measure of behavioral self-regulation called the Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders (HTKS) by assessing construct validity, including relations to EF measures, and...

What Do We Mean by "Justice"?: An Examination of How Justice is Conceptualized in K-12 Mathematics Education

Creator:: Brunner, Megan E.
Abstract:: Issues of injustice in society (e.g. racism, classism, sexism, ableism) are perpetuated in and through educational opportunities, including mathematics learning (Freire, 1970/2000). Those that are committed to disrupting the interlocking systems that create disparities and oppression in mathematics education are considered to be “pursuing justice.” Pursuit of justice can involve...

Shell Boring Polychaetes and the Oregon Oyster Aquaculture Industry: Spatial Distribution, Regulatory Actions, and Stakeholder Engagement

Creator:: Considine, Megan E.
Abstract:: Shell-boring polychaetes pose economic risks for oyster aquaculture industries as they reduce the aesthetic quality of oyster products by creating unsightly mud-filled blisters on the inside of the shell. Recently there has been a reported uptick in infested oysters on commercial farms along the west coast of the US, which...

Temporal Variation in the Prey Resource Portfolio of Juvenile Salmonids During Freshwater Rearing

Creator:: Brady, Megan E.
Abstract:: Freshwater rearing is a critical period in the life cycle of anadromous salmonids, known to produce carry-over effects mediating long-term growth and survival. Freshwater growth is primarily determined by food availability and temperature. While many species of salmon rear in freshwater for a full year or longer, most trophic ecology...

Isotopic Analysis of Diet Specificity in the Chisel-toothed Kangaroo Rat, Dipodomys microps

Creator:: Guerre, Megan E.
Abstract:: Rapid changes in global climate have put many species at risk, particularly niche specialists. The Chisel-toothed kangaroo rat, Dipodomys microps, is thought to specialize on the desert shrub Atriplex confertifolia. Because of this close relationship, D. microps was presumed to have tracked the shrub as its distribution shifted south during...

Edge-Disjoint Hamiltonian Cycles in De Bruijn Graphs

Creator:: Lytle, Megan E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the number of edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in de Bruijn graphs using ideas from finite field theory, particularly linear recurring sequences. It is known that the de Bruijn graph B(d,n) admits d-1 disjoint Hamiltonian cycles when d is a power of 2, and...

Optimal sensor placement for measuring operating speeds through curves on rural two-lane highways

Creator:: Mecham, Megan E.
Abstract:: Operating speed is one of the best performance measures that can tell transportation agencies how well or how poorly the transportation system is functioning. Fluctuating operating speeds often mean there is a design flaw or something about the physical road design that violates drivers' expectations. A primary example of this...

Habitat associations and determinants of refuge use in post-settlement lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus)

Creator:: Petrie, Megan E.
Abstract:: Lingcod are an overexploited fish species in the Pacific Northwest and although there has been extensive study of the habitat requirements of adults, particularly during spawning, relatively little is known regarding the habitat requirements of post-settlement juveniles. Many juvenile fish use structural components of habitat to alleviate the risk of...

Parenting style and practice : predictors of behavioral regulation in preschool

Creator:: Pritchard, Megan E.
Abstract:: Increasing numbers of children are entering kindergarten without the behavioral skills needed to cope with the demands of the classroom environment. Moreover, a number of studies have documented that young children's behavioral regulation (including attention, working memory, and inhibitory control skills) plays an important role in later academic achievement (McClelland,...
