Giezen, Marcel R.; Emmorey, Karen – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2016
Semantic and lexical decision tasks were used to investigate the mechanisms underlying code-blend facilitation: the finding that hearing bimodal bilinguals comprehend signs in American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken English words more quickly when they are presented together simultaneously than when each is presented alone. More robust…

Custodero, Lori A.; Calì, Claudia; Diaz-Donoso, Adriana – Research Studies in Music Education, 2016
This study looks at children's music making in a public setting designed for society writ large. Although known to most children in the city, the subway presents a unique environment, both structurally predictable yet sonically dynamic; it is in continuous transition. Adopting Winnicott's psychoanalytical perspective, we make a case for viewing…
