Caroline Larson; Hannah R. Thomas; Jason Crutcher; Michael C. Stevens; Inge-Marie Eigsti – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous condition associated with differences in functional neural connectivity relative to neurotypical (NT) peers. Language-based functional connectivity represents an ideal context in which to characterize connectivity because language is heterogeneous and linked to core features in ASD, and NT language…

Chi-Chuan Chen; Ilaria Berteletti; Daniel C. Hyde – Developmental Science, 2024
Symbolic numeracy first emerges as children learn the meanings of number words and how to use them to precisely count sets of objects. This development starts before children enter school and forms a foundation for lifelong mathematics achievement. Despite its importance, exactly how children acquire this basic knowledge is unclear. Here we test…

Dongyue Zhou; Zhimei Liu; Guanyu Gong; Yunge Zhang; Lin Lin; Kelong Cai; Huashuai Xu; Fengyu Cong; Huanjie Li; Aiguo Chen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Exercise intervention has been proven helpful to ameliorate core symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we carried out a 12-week mini-basketball training program (MBTP) on ASD children and examined the changes of brain functional and structural networks before and…

Tzu-Yun Tung – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Successful language comprehension requires the rapid deployment of working memory resources alongside the capacity to predict upcoming linguistic input. While previous research views these as competing factors, this dissertation explores a unified theory of processing complexity and evaluates the interaction between memory and prediction. The…

Julian Rudisch; Luis K. H. Holzhauer; Karmen Kravanja; Fred H. Hamker; Claudia Voelcker-Rehage – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Observational practice is discussed as a substitute for physical practice for motor learning and adaptation. We systematically reviewed the literature on observational practice in reaching and aiming tasks. Our objectives were to identify (i) performance differences between observational and physical practice; (ii) factors that contribute to…

Steven L. Meisler – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Reading is a complex, uniquely human invention for communication through print. It is a critical ability for making progress in education. Students with reading difficulties, the most common learning disability, struggle with reading fluency and accuracy. Skilled reading is enabled by the coordination of a network of brain regions interconnected…

Qi Li; Die Wang; Weilong Xiao; Yingying Tang; Qi Sun; Binghai Sun; Zhishan Hu – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Studies have found that flipped classroom teaching (FT) improves learning compared to lecture-based teaching (LT). However, whether the structured teacher-student interaction--the key feature of FT--plays an essential role in enhancing learning remains unclear, as do its neural underpinnings. Here, we compared three teaching conditions: FT with a…

Yuanjing Lyu; Shuoqi Xiang; Zexuan Jiang; Huizhi Bai; Junjie Huang; Weixing Yang; Xing Wang; Senqing Qi; Weiping Hu – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
Novelty seeking has been found to affect creative performance, but its impact on the temporal dynamics of creative information processing remains unclear. Creative information is identified by two key indicators--novelty and appropriateness. To explore the effect of novelty seeking on the temporal processing of novelty and appropriateness, a…

Somayeh B. Shafiei; Saeed Shadpour; Farzan Sasangohar; James L. Mohler; Kristopher Attwood; Zhe Jing – npj Science of Learning, 2024
The existing performance evaluation methods in robot-assisted surgery (RAS) are mainly subjective, costly, and affected by shortcomings such as the inconsistency of results and dependency on the raters' opinions. The aim of this study was to develop models for an objective evaluation of performance and rate of learning RAS skills while practicing…

Kurt Winsler – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The visual system is tuned by its inputs. The behavior of reading offers a unique way to examine tuning for visual representations (letters) because readers have massive experience recognizing letters in a systematic context (reading). One aspect of reading is that letters are highly crowded within words, which severely limits their…

Tetsuo Tanaka; Ryo Horiuchi; Mari Ueda – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2024
We evaluate the effectiveness of reading aloud a program code in learning programming from a neuroscientific perspective by measuring brain activity using a near-infrared spectroscopy device. The results show that when reading aloud and then reading silently, brain activity increases during reading aloud; a similar trend is observed when the…

Chien, Yi-Ling; Chen, Yu-Jen; Tseng, Wan-Ling; Hsu, Yung-Chin; Wu, Chi-Shin; Tseng, Wen-Yih Isaac; Gau, Susan Shur-Fen – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Whether altered white matter microstructural property of autistic people also exists in non-autistic siblings is uncertain. The microstructures of a neural tract may not be consistent throughout the whole track. We assessed 38 cognitive-able autistic males (aged 15.8 ± 4.4 years), 39 non-autistic siblings (16.5 ± 5.7 years), and 78 age- and…

Fassett-Carman, Alyssa N.; Smolker, Harry; Hankin, Benjamin L.; Snyder, Hannah R.; Banich, Marie T. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Adolescence and emerging adulthood is likely a sensitive period for the neural effects of stress due to increasing life stress, onset of stress-related disorders, and continued gray matter (GM) development. In adults, stress is associated with GM differences in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), hippocampus, and amygdala, but little is known…

Plumb, Mandy S.; Charity, Megan; Milla, Kimberly; Bodt, Barry; Getchell, Nancy – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Background: Previous research suggests that children with or at risk of probable developmental coordination disorder (pDCD) activate different areas of the brain when performing certain motor skills compared with typically developing (TD) children. This study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to compare prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in…

L.; Edgar, J. Christopher – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Maturation of auditory cortex neural encoding processes was assessed in children with typical development (TD) and autism. Children 6-9 years old were enrolled at Time 1 (T1), with follow-up data obtained ~ 18 months later at Time 2 (T2), and ~ 36 months later at Time 3 (T3). Findings suggested an initial period of rapid auditory cortex maturation…
