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).

Visuospatial working memory as a predictor of gait performance in adults with normal hearing and hearing aid users

Discover Psychology
Background Age-related hearing loss affects a significant portion of older adults and is associated not only with communication difficulties but also with mobility impairments, including reduced walking ability. Prior research suggests that auditory cues

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.

Evaluating GenAI‐produced feedback on undergraduate bioscience essays against good higher education feedback practice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This pilot study investigates the potential of Generative AI to provide formative feedback to students. ChatGPT was prompted to provide feedback on Year 1 Bioscience essays, which were evaluated against established good feedback practices. GenAI‐authored feedback had useful elements, but was limited in scope. GenAI may have potential to provide instant,

Determinants of undergraduate bioscience engagement: Validating attendance barriers and classroom spatial behaviour across institutions

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Student engagement extends beyond simple attendance. Across 891 bioscience students from three universities, attendance behaviour was associated mainly with structural influences, whereas classroom spatial behaviour reflected affective and sensory factors.
