Journal ArticleDOI
Recursive syntactic pattern learning by songbirds.
TL;DR: It is shown that European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) accurately recognize acoustic patterns defined by a recursive, self-embedding, context-free grammar, and this finding opens a new range of complex syntactic processing mechanisms to physiological investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consolidation during sleep of perceptual learning of spoken language
TL;DR: A role of sleep is shown in the consolidation of a naturalistic spoken-language learning task that produces generalization of phonological categories across different acoustic patterns, indicating that representations and mappings associated with generalization are refined and stabilized during sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceptual learning of Cantonese lexical tones by tone and non-tone language speakers
TL;DR: Differences between the two groups’ training-induced changes in identification (confusions) and perceptual spaces demonstrated that listeners’ native language experience with intonational as well as tone categories affects the perception and acquisition of non-native suprasegmental categories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-academic internet use in the classroom is negatively related to classroom learning regardless of intellectual ability
TL;DR: Higher rates of internet use were associated with lower test grades and students' beliefs about this relationship did not reflect their ability to multi-task effectively, and students discounted the effect of using portable devices on learning over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
A primer on investigating the after effects of acute bouts of physical activity on cognition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight a selection of common themes and critical delimitations that investigators new to this area of research as well as those currently working in the field may find relevant for advancing research in this area.
