Helder, Anne; van den Broek, Paul; Karlsson, Josefine; Van Leijenhorst, Linda – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2017
This functional magnetic resonance imaging study examined the neural correlates of coherence-break detection during reading in the context of a contradiction paradigm. Young adults (N = 31, ages 19-27) read short narratives (half contained a break in coherence) that were presented sentence by sentence in a self-paced, slow event-related design.…

Petersson, Karl-Magnus; Folia, Vasiliki; Hagoort, Peter – Brain and Language, 2012
In this paper we examine the neurobiological correlates of syntax, the processing of structured sequences, by comparing FMRI results on artificial and natural language syntax. We discuss these and similar findings in the context of formal language and computability theory. We used a simple right-linear unification grammar in an implicit artificial…

Visuo-Motor Behaviour in Pre-School Children in Relation to Sex and Neurological Status: An Experimental Study on the Effect of "Time-Pressure."
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kalverboer, A. F.; Brouwer, W. H. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, 1983
While only minor differences in behavioral organization and efficiency were found between males and females, girls with lower neurological status showed more signs of lack of motor inhibition. No effect was found for time-pressure for groups with a different neurological status. (MP)

Maassen, Ben; Pasman, Jaco; Nijland, Lian; Rotteveel, Jan – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2006
It has long been recognized that from the first months of life auditory perception plays a crucial role in speech and language development. Only in recent years, however, is the precise mechanism of auditory development and its interaction with the acquisition of speech and language beginning to be systematically revealed. This paper presents the…
