I vividly remember the case of a six year old boy, who although very cued otherwise, was unable to remember a word, let alone a sentence and he could not read even simple words for the first six months, which gave me the worst headache.
A comparison of the cued recall probabilities to the cue-word associative strength values revealed an especially interesting age difference.
For some analyses, Lamb, Sternberg, Orbach, Esplin, Stewart, and Mitchell (2003) distinguished between general invitations (e.g., "Tell me everything that happened") and cued invitations. Cued invitations were further categorized depending on whether they referenced events, actions, segments of time, or other topics.
Overall, however, the Thysdrus pavement is, again like the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore painting, much more cued to the civic calendar than our mosaic from Gaul, both trhough its use of monthly labels and, more significantly, through the high number of monthly panels given over to ritual scenes (nine) as opposed to scenes depicting human beings performing actual labour (only three: June, July and September).

This practice, which was often adopted by individuals seeking energy boosts or stress relief, has taken a troubling turn in recent years. Today, a mixture of various substances under the same name is being used predominantly by women and girls, and shockingly, it is applied through their genitals for a range of purposes.
Sellers like Saf take regular taba and mix it with potent chemicals to enhance its intoxicating effect. Many women then use it intravaginally, believing it enhances sexual pleasure.
Health authorities in The Gambia are raising alarm over a growing practice among women involving the intravaginal use of a local powdered tobacco called “taba” or “tabaa.”
