UNDERSTANDING OF HOW PEOPLE READ. The use of language is one of the most complex tasks the human brain must carry out. The way in which children acquire language is studied very carefully. This acquisition is enhanced by teaching from skilled language users‚ but in itself acquired by the child’s own observation and learning.

One article discussed how the validity of infection control research is determined by how well infection as an outcome can be measured (Lin &Bonten‚ 2012). Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a type of measured outcome for patient safety intervention (Lin &Bonten‚ 2012). Challenges in assessing hospital-acquired infection outcomes happen due to lack of a gold standard test in diagnosing infections; it is usually based on a clinician’s judgment if there is an infection or not (Lin &Bonten‚ 2012)
