Reading plays an essential role in our everyday lives. The aim of this study is to investigate how letters are represented in the brain using the unique characteristics of the Arabic language, which can be written with 2 different scripts. The hypothesis proposed is that the processing of script is sound based: Phonology is what determines letter…

Children with poor reading comprehension despite typical word reading skills were examined using neuropsychological, genetic, and neuroimaging data collected from the Genes, Reading and Dyslexia Study of 1432 Hispanic American and African American children. This unexpected poor comprehension was associated with profound deficits in vocabulary,…

The purpose of this study was to apply what is known about the correlation of brain dominance and learning styles to students enrolled in Post-Secondary Culinary Arts Programs. The field of Culinary Arts includes the subjects of Culinary, and Pastry & Baking. Since Culinary School students are required to take classes of their field, academic…

This study investigated the relationship between a metaphor-based approach to teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) and involvement of the brain's right hemisphere. Specifically, it examined learners' understanding of three levels of sureness associated with different expressions in English -- those that are "certain,"…

Cremone, Amanda; Kurdziel, Laura B. F.; Fraticelli-Torres, Ada; McDermott, Jennifer M.; Spencer, Rebecca M. C. – Developmental Science, 2017
Sleep loss alters processing of emotional stimuli in preschool-aged children. However, the mechanism by which sleep modifies emotional processing in early childhood is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that a nap, compared to an equivalent time spent awake, reduces biases in attention allocation to affective information. Children (n = 43;…

Pelland, Catherine M.; Feng, Xue; Borowitz, Kathleen C.; Meyer, Craig H.; Blemker, Silvia S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a method able to quantify levator veli palatini (LVP) muscle shortening and contraction velocities using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout speech samples and relate these measurements to velopharyngeal portal dimensions. Method: Six healthy adults (3 men and 3 women, M = 24.5 years)…

Mohammed, Zareef – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The privacy paradox is a phenomenon whereby individuals continue to disclose their personal information, contrary to their claim of concerns for the privacy of their personal information. This study investigated the privacy paradox to better understand individuals' decisions to disclose or withhold their personal information. The study argued that…

Forloines, Martha R.; Reid, Meredith A.; Thompkins, Andie M.; Robinson, Jennifer L.; Katz, Jeffrey S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
There are mixed results regarding the differentiation of neurofunctional correlates of spatial abilities. Previous studies employed complex environments or alternate memory tasks which could potentially add to inconsistencies across studies of navigation. To help elucidate the existing mixed findings, we conducted a study in a simplistic…

Brookman-Byrne, Annie; Mareschal, Denis; Tolmie, Andrew K.; Dumontheil, Iroise – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2019
Relational reasoning, the ability to detect meaningful patterns, matures through adolescence. The unique contributions of verbal analogical and nonverbal matrix relational reasoning to science and maths are not well understood. Functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected during science and maths problem-solving, and participants…

Keifer, Cara M.; Hauschild, Kathryn M.; Nelson, Brady D.; Hajcak, Greg; Lerner, Matthew D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Despite evidence suggesting differences in early event-related potential (ERP) responses to social emotional stimuli, little is known about later stage ERP contributions to social emotional processing in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Adults with and without ASD completed a facial emotion recognition task involving stimuli that…

Aumont, Étienne; Blanchette, Caroll-Ann; Bohbot, Veronique D.; West, Greg L. – Learning & Memory, 2019
When people navigate, they use strategies dependent on one of two memory systems. The hippocampus-based spatial strategy consists of using multiple landmarks to create a cognitive map of the environment. In contrast, the caudate nucleus-based response strategy is based on the memorization of a series of turns. Importantly, response learners…

Odendaal, Albi; Levänen, Sari; Westerlund, Heidi – Music Education Research, 2019
In recent decades there has been a proliferation of neuromyths based on oversimplifications and over-generalisations of research findings. As part of a larger project that examines the societal impacts of the arts and arts education practices, this interdisciplinary collaborative study examines the translation of recent neuromusical research into…

Liu, Janelle; Tsang, Tawny; Jackson, Lisa; Ponting, Carolyn; Jeste, Shafali S.; Bookheimer, Susan Y.; Dapretto, Mirella – Developmental Science, 2019
Altered structural connectivity has been identified as a possible biomarker of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk in the developing brain. Core features of ASD include impaired social communication and early language delay. Thus, examining white matter tracts associated with language may lend further insight into early signs of ASD risk and the…

Hahn, Michael; Joechner, Ann-Kathrin; Roell, Judith; Schabus, Manuel; Heib, Dominik P. J.; Gruber, Georg; Peigneux, Philippe; Hoedlmoser, Kerstin – Developmental Science, 2019
Sleep spindles are related to sleep-dependent memory consolidation and general cognitive abilities. However, they undergo drastic maturational changes during adolescence. Here we used a longitudinal approach (across 7 years) to explore whether developmental changes in sleep spindle density can explain individual differences in sleep-dependent…

Although late-phase long-term potentiation (L-LTP) is implicated in long-term memory, its molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here we provide evidence that L-LTP can be divided into two stages: an induction stage (I) and a maintenance stage (II). Both stages require mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor (mBDNF), but involve distinct…
