Judgments of the number of syllables in a given word are usually consistent, but there is a class of English words with liquid codas and tense vowel/diphthong nuclei for which speakers have variable syllable count intuitions (e.g. fire, feel). This variation has previously been hypothesized to be associated with differences in subsyllabic structural organization, which predicts that speaker jud...

This study explores the neurocognitive predictors of response to intervention with GraphoGame Rime (GG Rime), an adaptive software game designed aid learning English phonics. A cohort 398 children (aged 6–7 years) who had participated in a recent randomised controlled trial (RCT) GG United Kingdom were studied. Half randomly assigned play and other half Business As Usual (BAU). series pretests ...

Case presentation is used as a teaching and learning tool in almost all clinical education, and it is also associated with clinical reasoning ability. Despite this, no specific assessment tool utilizing case presentations has yet been established. SNAPPS (summarize, narrow, analyze, probe, plan, and select) and the One-minute Preceptor are well-known educational tools for teaching how to improv...

It is still a question of debate whether the N1-P2 complex is an index of low-level auditory processes or whether it can capture higher-order information encoded in the immediate context. To address this issue, the current study examined the morphology of the N1-P2 complex as a function of context regularities instantiated at the sublexical level. We presented two types of speech targets in iso...

In a tone language, such as Cantonese, both segmental and tonal distinctions between words are pervasive. However, previous work in Cantonese has demonstrated that in speeded-response tasks, tone is more likely to be misprocessed than is segmental structure. The present study examined whether this tone disadvantage would also hold after the initial auditory processing of a syllable had been don...

La principale particularité du commerce international est que la notion de frontière reste pertinente car les pays peuvent toujours protéger leurs offreurs domestiques derrière des barrières tarifaires (droits de douane) et non tarifaires (normes, restrictions quantitatives...). Depuis la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, la tendance est à la réduction du protectionnisme mais les Etats-Nations...
