TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an analysis of the cahier personnel of an agriculteur malien, in which le scripteur a consigne des faits survenus sur une periode de six years, en les regrouping par page selon leur espace de reference (domestique, villageois, lointain).
Abstract: Cet article propose une analyse du cahier personnel d’un agriculteur malien. L’examen de ce document permet d’observer comment le scripteur a consigne des faits survenus sur une periode de six ans, en les regroupant par page selon leur espace de reference (domestique, villageois, lointain). Ce cahier s’avere un lieu d’emprunts de modeles (scolaires, professionnels) et de genres (avis de deces notamment). Si des injonctions a ecrire motivent certaines notations, comme les naissances, d’autres ne s’expliquent pas aussi aisement. Le cahier, malgre la sobriete des notations, apparait comme un espace d’experimentation. La question de ses usages, et du rapport a soi qui s’y elabore, n’est pas entierement resolue par l’analyse des autres donnees ethnographiques (entretien et observations). Mais le rappel du contexte du recueil permet de saisir une des significations du cahier, un lieu de presentation de soi comme lettre. Cet article fait ressortir l’enjeu d’un examen minutieux des productions ecrites pour l’analyse sociologique.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared how early speech perception and cognitive skills predict later language outcomes using a within-participant design and found that only native vowel discrimination significantly predicted vocabulary, while evidence was ambiguous between null and alternative hypotheses for all infant predictors.
Abstract: Research has identified bivariate correlations between speech perception and cognitive measures gathered during infancy as well as correlations between these individual measures and later language outcomes. However, these correlations have not all been explored together in prospective longitudinal studies. The goal of the current research was to compare how early speech perception and cognitive skills predict later language outcomes using a within-participant design. To achieve this goal, we tested 97 5- to 7-month-olds on two speech perception tasks (stress pattern preference, native vowel discrimination) and two cognitive tasks (visual recognition memory, A-not-B) and later assessed their vocabulary outcomes at 18 and 24 months. Frequentist statistical analyses showed that only native vowel discrimination significantly predicted vocabulary. However, Bayesian analyses suggested that evidence was ambiguous between null and alternative hypotheses for all infant predictors. These results highlight the importance of recognizing and addressing challenges related to infant data collection, interpretation, and replication in the developmental field, a roadblock in our route to understanding the contribution of domain-specific and domain-general skills for language acquisition. Future methodological development and research along similar lines is encouraged to assess individual differences in infant speech perception and cognitive skills and their predictability for language development.

TL;DR: The authors argue that there is more to the conscious content of perceptual experience than what transpires in a subject's phenomenal beliefs and that Dennett's doxological commitment is in need of independent motivation, and that this independent motivation is not forthcoming.
Abstract: Three commitments at least appear to be guiding Dennett's approach to the study of consciousness First, an ontological commitment to materialist monism Second, a methodological commitment to what he calls 'heterophenomenology' Third, a 'doxological' commitment that can be expressed as the view that there is no room for a distinction between a subject's beliefs about how things seem to her and what things actually seem to her, or, to put it otherwise, as the view that there is no room for a reality/appearance distinction for consciousness Our main aim is to investigate how Dennett's third doxological commitment relates to his first two commitments and whether its acceptance should be seen as a mere logical consequence of acceptance of the first two We argue that this is not the case, that Dennett's doxological commitment is in need of independent motivation, and that this independent motivation is not forthcoming More specifically, we argue that there is more to the conscious content of perceptual experience than what transpires in a subject's phenomenal beliefs

TL;DR: The program is intended for managing images and films used in the fields of visual psychophysics, electrophysiology, and so forth, and is written in Turbo-C.
Abstract: In this paper, we describe a software package, LEDA, for editing two-dimensional images and films. It is written in Turbo-C and was first conceived to work with a high-resolution graphics card (Adage PG90/10, 2,048 × 1,023 × 8 bits) on an IBM PC/AT or compatible computer. The program is intended for managing images and films used in the fields of visual psychophysics, electrophysiology, and so forth.
