PURPOSE This study was designed to examine the relationships among minority dialect use, language ability, and young African American English (AAE)-speaking children's understanding and awareness of Mainstream American English (MAE). METHOD Eighty-three 4- to 8-year-old AAE-speaking children participated in 2 experimental tasks. One task evaluated their awareness of differences between MAE an...

A new procedure for measuring the motion aftereffect (MAE) is described. The procedure involves adaptation to an animation sequence depicting dots moving in a given direction followed by presentation of a test sequence depicting dots moving in all possible directions. Under adaptation, the test sequence appears to have a directional bias opposite the direction experienced during adaptation. Thi...

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and microwave-assisted hydrolysis (MAAH) were developed for the sample preparation of guava leaves prior to GC determination of quercetin and its glycosides. Ethanol was selected as the solvent. The optimum MAE temperature, particle size, solvent volume and MAE time are 120 degrees C, 40 - 60 mesh, 20 mL and 5 min, respectively; the optimum MAAH temperature a...

Repetitive eye movements are known to produce motion aftereffect (MAE) when made to track a moving stimulus. Explanations typically centre on the retinal motion created in the peripheral visual field by the eye movement. This retinal motion is thought to induce perceived motion in the central test, either through the interaction between peripheral MAE and central target or by adaptation of mech...

Although a lot is known about various properties of the motion aftereffect (MAE), there is no systematic study of the topographic organization of MAE. In the current study, first we provided a topographic map of the MAE to investigate its spatial properties in detail. To provide a fine topographic map, we measured MAE with small test stimuli presented at different loci after adaptation to motio...

Simultaneously adapting to retinal motion and non-collinear pursuit eye movement produces a motion aftereffect (MAE) that moves in a different direction to either of the individual adapting motions. Mack, Hill and Kahn (1989, Perception, 18, 649-655) suggested that the MAE was determined by the perceived motion experienced during adaptation. We tested the perceived-motion hypothesis by having o...

The 1992 Housing and Community Development Act directed the two government-sponsored housing enterprises -Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -to increase their lending in "underserved areas" and where there are "unmet housing needs." Unfortunately, Congress did not specify how unmet mortgage needs were to be measured or how underserved areas were to be identified. To shed light on this issue, we use da...

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during storage of the motion aftereffect (MAE) to examine the relationship between motion perception and neural activity in the human cortical motion complex MT+ (including area MT and adjacent motion-selective cortex). MT+ responds not only to physical motion but also to illusory motion, as in the MAE when subjects who have adapted to contin...
