Disease dilution, the reduction in infection risk with increased host diversity, has recently attracted attention as one of the many indispensable services provided by rich ecological communities. Immunological variation seems to play an important role in many dilution mechanisms, with non-competent hosts acting as dead ends for various generalist pathogens. Interestingly, life pace in host spe...

The present study examined whether cinematographic editing density affects viewers’ perception of time. As a second aim, based on embodied models that conceive time as strictly connected to the movement, we tested hypothesis moving images also eye movements and these later mediate effect temporal judgments. Seventy participants watched nine video clips edited by manipulating number cuts (slow- ...

Children's tv programs can be distinguished by the processing demands of their format and the pace with which changes occur. High-continuity programs are stories requiring temporal integration of successive scenes for full comprehension. Low-continuity programs are in "magazine" format: Successive bits are independent of one another, and temporal integration across bits is not required for comp...

Previous research shows that children with language impairments (LI) are significantly less rhythmic during motor tasks than typically developing children who are chronologically and linguistically agematched. This study aims to explore a speech rhythm task and to shed new light on the rhythmic abilities of children with LI. Specifically, the authors investigate whether children with LI are imp...

Prior experience of fatiguing tasks is considered essential to establishing an optimal pacing strategy. This study examined the pacing behavior of inexperienced children during self-paced, 800 m running, both individually and within a competitive environment. Thirteen children (aged 9-11 y) completed a graded-exercise test to volitional exhaustion on a treadmill (laboratory trial), followed by ...
