From introduction to phonemic symbols to development of transcription skills: A case study in the English Department at University of Tuzla

open access: yesExELL (Explorations in English Language and Linguistics)
The present study portrays some of the key aspects of connected speech in English, as adopted by 42 native Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian-speaking undergraduate students of English in the English Department, University of Tuzla, in the academic year 2013/2014.

Sound‐offset encoding is related to speech‐in‐noise perception at sentence level in older adults

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic summary of the study investigating sound‐onset and offset sensitivity in the brain of older adults. EEG responses to white‐noise bursts were recorded to examine neural encoding of sound onset and offset during passive listening and active task conditions.

Impact of Different Types of Sedentary Behaviour on Cognitive Function in Older Adults: A Systematic Review

open access: yesHealth Promotion Journal of Australia, Volume 37, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Issue Addressed Sedentary behaviour (SB) is a relevant determinant of health in ageing, yet its effects on cognitive function remain inconclusive. The literature often treats SB as a homogeneous exposure, without considering that different sedentary activities may differentially affect cognitive domains.

Developmental Patterns of English Alphabet Knowledge in Chinese–English Emergent Bilingual Children

open access: yesReading Research Quarterly, Volume 61, Issue 3, July/August/September 2026.
The graphical abstract compares the developmental patterns of alphabet knowledge between Chinese‐English bilingual children and established monolingual norms. The study highlights a distinct developmental pattern, emphasizing the need for alphabet instruction that accounts for specific cultural and linguistic contexts for bilingual children.

Newborns' Language Discrimination May Not Reflect Sensitivity to Speech Rhythm: Evidence From Computational Modeling

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Human newborns are able to discriminate between certain languages but not others. This ability has long been attributed to sensitivity to rhythm—the temporal regularities in speech of different languages. Here, we demonstrate through a series of computational simulations that this discrimination behavior can be achieved using no temporal ...

Inter‐Model Feature Fusion for Robust Low‐Resource Speech Recognition

open access: yesApplied AI Letters, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
Our Self‐Supervised Feature Fusion (SSF‐FT) method enhances low‐resource speech recognition by adaptively combining features from self‐supervised models trained with Contrastive, Predictive, and Reconstruction objectives. This attention‐weighted ensemble delivers robust performance, particularly in acoustically challenging conditions, extending current

Alcohol use and APOE ε4 interaction with cognitive domains among American adults from diverse racial/ethnic groups: A HABS‐HD study

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia: Behavior &Socioeconomics of Aging, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Introduction We investigated the interaction between alcohol use behavior and apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 on cognitive domains among non‐Hispanic Black (NHB), Hispanic, and non‐Hispanic White (NHW) individuals. Methods Using the Health and Aging Brain Study–Health Disparities data, we analyzed 2143 adults aged 50+ using linear regression ...

Biomechanics and Evolution of the Primate Tongue

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Primate tongue morphology and function are critical to understanding the evolution of feeding, swallowing, and vocalization. In this paper, we examine the primate tongue as a muscular hydrostat with regionally specialized neuromuscular compartments. We integrate anatomical, kinematic, and biomechanical modeling approaches to analyze how muscle
