Topographic Mapping of P300 and Frontal Cognitive Function in Parkinson’s Disease
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between P300 that is one of the event‐related potentials and frontal cognitive functions in Parkinson’s disease (PD) without clinically apparent dementia. Subjects were 20 PD cases 48 to 79 years of age, all of whom were within normal limits on the Mini‐Mental State examination, and 55 age ...

Modeling the development of pronunciation in infant speech acquisition. [PDF]
Pronunciation is an important part of speech acquisition, but little attention has been given to the mechanism or mechanisms by which it develops. Speech sound qualities, for example, have just been assumed to develop by simple imitation.

Abstract In a highly multilingual country like India, challenges and opportunities arise in education and language policy. Although multilingualism is often associated with developmental advantages, Indian primary school children generally show low learning outcomes, specifically on literacy. Here we examine the influence of mother tongue education and
