Associations Between Sign Language Skills and Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Deaf Early Signers

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
The processing of a language involves a neural language network including temporal, parietal, and frontal cortical regions. This applies to spoken as well as signed languages. Previous research suggests that spoken language proficiency is associated with

Imitation, sign language skill and the Developmental Ease of Language Understanding (D-ELU) model

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Imitation and language processing are closely connected. According to the Ease of Language Understanding (ELU) model (Rönnberg et al., 2013) pre-existing mental representation of lexical items facilitates language understanding. Thus, imitation of manual

The Influence of Form- and Meaning-Based Predictions on Cortical Speech Processing Under Challenging Listening Conditions: A MEG Study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Under adverse listening conditions, prior linguistic knowledge about the form (i.e., phonology) and meaning (i.e., semantics) help us to predict what an interlocutor is about to say.

The Ease of Language Understanding (ELU) model: theoretical, empirical, and clinical advances

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2013
Working memory is important for online language processing during conversation. We use it to maintain relevant information, to inhibit or ignore irrelevant information, and to attend to conversation selectively.

Visual Rhyme Judgment in Adults With Mild-to-Severe Hearing Loss

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Adults with poorer peripheral hearing have slower phonological processing speed measured using visual rhyme tasks, and it has been suggested that this is due to fading of phonological representations stored in long-term memory.

Neonatal Imitation, Intersubjectivity, and Children With Atypical Development: Do Observations on Autism and Down Syndrome Change Our Understanding?

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Almost all studies on neonatal imitation to date seem to have focused on typically developing children, and we thus lack information on the early imitative abilities of children who follow atypical developmental trajectories.

Working memory capacity moderates the effect of hearing aid experience on phonological processing performance

Frontiers in Neuroscience
PurposeIndividuals with acquired hearing impairment often experience declines in phonological processing abilities, a phenomenon thought to be mediated by working memory capacity (WMC).

The Effect of Functional Hearing Loss and Age on Long- and Short-term Visuospatial Memory: Evidence from the UK Biobank Resource

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014
The UK Biobank offers cross-sectional epidemiological data collected on > 500 000 individuals in the UK between 40 and 70 years of age. Using the UK Biobank data, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of functional hearing loss and hearing

Specific learning disability [PDF]

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 2018
AbstractSpecific learning disabilities (SLD) have an impact on discrete areas of academic function. They result in a level of difficulty that is unexpected when considered in the context of a student's overall intellectual and academic competence. A common example is dyslexia, an SLD that affects the acquisition of literacy.
