The acquisition of medial /t, d/ allophones in bisyllabic contexts.

The acquisition of medial /t, d/ allophones was examined in four children between 2 and 5 years of age, over a period of 38 months. Children labelled pictures designed to elicit a sample of these allophones in iambic ([t]) and trochaic (flap, nasal and ...

Forum on intervocalic consonants in phonological development.

Intervocalic consonants have received far less attention in research on first language acquisition than consonants at the edges of words. Theories have predicted that intervocalic consonants may show special properties because they are in a special ...

Brain activation modulated by the comprehension of normal and pseudo-word sentences of different processing demands: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study.

Recent data from lesion and brain imaging studies have questioned the well-established assumption of a close functional-anatomic link between syntax and Brocas area and semantics and Wernickes area. In the present study we used functional magnetic ...

Morphological priming in Spanish verb forms: an ERP repetition priming study.

The ERP repetition priming paradigm has been shown to be sensitive to the processing differences between regular and irregular verb forms in English and German. The purpose of the present study is to extend this research to a language with a different ...

The neural basis for category-specific knowledge: an fMRI study.

Functional neuroimaging studies of healthy adults have associated different categories of knowledge with distinct activation patterns. The basis for these recruitment patterns has been controversial, due in part to the limited range of categories that ...

Verbal memory in left temporal lobe epilepsy: evidence for task-related localization.

We explored the hypothesis that components of verbal memory are subserved by separate temporal lobe structures in patients with temporal lobe structures in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy [correction]. Uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) measured ...

Contribution of specific cognitive processes to executive functioning in an aging population.

The current study investigated executive function measures emphasizing Alpha Span (ASp) to understand relationships among executive and nonexecutive tasks. Nondemented older participants (N = 417) received a comprehensive cognitive battery. Age and ...

Memory encoding and retrieval in frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimers disease.

Memory encoding and retrieval strategies were assessed in patients with behavior-executive variant frontotemporal dementia (FTD), language variant FTD, and Alzheimers disease (AD) using verbal and visuospatial supraspan learning tests. FTD patients ...

Mayos Older Americans Normative Studies: expanded AVLT Recognition Trial norms for ages 57 to 98.

This paper expands upon previously published Mayos Older Americans Normative Studies (MOANS) Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) norms by presenting age and gender specific data for Recognition Trial accuracy (recognition hits corrected for false ...

Selective attention and the acquisition of new phonetic categories.

A class of selective attention models often applied to speech perception is used to study effects of training on the perception of an unfamiliar phonetic contrast. Attention-to-dimension (A2D) models of perceptual learning assume that the dimensions that ...
