Beyond words: an investigation of fine motor skills and the verbal communication spectrum in autism
(Frontiers, 2024)
Introduction: This study investigated the associations between fine motor skills and expressive verbal abilities in a group of 97 autistic participants (age 8-17, mean=12.41) and 46 typically developing youth (age 8-17, ...
Deadwood density, C stocks and their controlling factors in a beech-silver fir mixed virgin European forest
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023-07-01)
Deadwood is a fundamental structural and functional component of forests, with a crucial role in supporting forest biodiversity, nutrient and carbon cycling. Precise deadwood density estimates and its relation to environmental ...
Cognitive reserve counteracts typical neural activity changes related to ageing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Studies have shown that older adults with high Cognitive Reserve (HCR) exhibit better executive functioning than their low CR (LCR) counterparts. However, the neural processes linked to those differences are unclear. This ...
Pupillometry reveals differences in cognitive demands of listening to face mask-attenuated speech
(ASA, 2023)
Face masks offer essential protection but also interfere with speech communication. Here, audio-only sentences spoken through four types of masks were presented in noise to young adult listeners. Pupil dilation (an index ...
Long-Range a-Synchronization as Control Signal for BCI: A Feasibility Study
(Society for Neuroscience, 2023)
Shifts in spatial attention are associated with variations in α band (α, 8–14 Hz) activity, specifically in interhemispheric imbalance. The underlying mechanism is attributed to local α-synchronization, which regulates ...
How regulating and cultural services of ecosystems have changed over time in Italy
(One Ecosystem, 2022)
In this experimental study, different components are computed for three different ecosystem services (ES). Specifically, supply, demand and use are estimated for pollination service, flood risk regulation service and ...
Do They Know It's Christmash? Lexical Knowledge Directly Impacts Speech Perception
(WILEY, 2024)
We recently reported strong, replicable (i.e., replicated) evidence for lexically mediated compensa-tion for coarticulation (LCfC; Luthra et al., 2021), whereby lexical knowledge influences a prelexicalprocess. Critically, ...
Think twice: Re-assessing confidence improves visual metacognition
(SPRINGER, 2024)
Metacognition is a fundamental feature of human behavior that has adaptive functional value. Current understanding of the factors that influence metacognition remains incomplete, and we lack protocols to improve metacognition. ...
Contributions of listening effort and intelligibility to cortical tracking of speech in adverse listening conditions
(ELSEVIER, 2024)
Cortical tracking of speech is vital for speech segmentation and is linked to speech intelligibility. However, there is no clear consensus as to whether reduced intelligibility leads to a decrease or an increase in cortical ...
Spoken Word Recognition: A Focus on Plasticity
(Annual Reviews, 2024)
Psycholinguists define spoken word recognition (SWR) as, roughly, the processes intervening between speech perception and sentence processing, whereby a sequence of speech elements is mapped to a phonological wordform. ...
