TL;DR: This work shows that when familiarized with a short artificial, subliminally bracketed stream, participants can learn relations about the structure of its words, which specify the classes of syllables occurring in first and last word positions, and suggests that different learning mechanisms analyze speech on-line.

TL;DR: It was observed that significantly more subjects manifested a stronger reaction to a right-ear change than to a left-ear changes, suggesting perceptual asymmetries indicative of very precocious brain specialization.

TL;DR: It is shown that absent collusion, the multiexpert organization dominates the single expert organization, however, this ranking is reversed when the experts can collude among themselves and with the principal (vertical collusion).

TL;DR: The aim of this work was to propose developmental indexes relative to the control of balance and gravity forces, using force-plate data, for children in their first 5 years of independent walking, and it was established that the postural capacity needed just to control balance with the leg muscles was not attained before 4–5 years ofindependent walking.
Abstract: The aim of this work was to propose developmental indexes relative to the control of balance and gravity forces, using force-plate data, for children in their first 5 years of independent walking. The first part of this paper is devoted to the definition of an index to quantify postural capacity during walking. Based on the assumption that the vertical acceleration of center of mass (CM) reflects the capacity of muscular forces between the head-arms-trunk and the stance leg segments to control the external forces, the value of the CM vertical acceleration at foot contact is proposed as a developmental index of the postural capacity of the child to control gravitational forces. This index was analyzed longitudinally in five children, over the course of eight experimental sessions. The children were examined during their first 5 years of independent walking (for a total of 457 step sequences). The covariation between the CM vertical acceleration at foot contact and the gait velocity was considered as a second index characterizing the development of coordination between the postural and dynamic requirements of body progression. From these indexes it was established that the postural capacity needed just to control balance with the leg muscles was not attained before 4-5 years of independent walking, i.e., at about 5-6 years of age.

TL;DR: Patterns in one’s linguistic environment may promote and support how people instantiate agency in context, and English speakers remembered the agents of accidents better than did Japanese speakers, as predicted from patterns in language.
Abstract: Is agency a straightforward and universal feature of human experience? Or is the construction of agency (including attention to and memory for people involved in events) guided by patterns in culture? In this paper we focus on one aspect of cultural experience: patterns in language. We examined English and Japanese speakers’ descriptions of intentional and accidental events. English and Japanese speakers described intentional events similarly, using mostly agentive language (e.g., “She broke the vase”). However, when it came to accidental events English speakers used more agentive language than did Japanese speakers. We then tested whether these different patterns found in language may also manifest in cross-cultural differences in attention and memory. Results from a non-linguistic memory task showed that English and Japanese speakers remembered the agents of intentional events equally well. However, English speakers remembered the agents of accidents better than did Japanese speakers, as predicted from patterns in language. Further, directly manipulating agency in language during another laboratory task changed people’s eye-witness memory, confirming a possible causal role for language. Patterns in one’s linguistic environment may promote and support how people instantiate agency in context.
