Comprehension of implied meaning in Chinese second language listening

Foreign Language Annals, EarlyView.
Abstract Listening comprehension is crucial for second language (L2) communication and acquisition. However, it has received less attention than reading, given the transient nature of speech signals and the intangible cognitive processes involved in it.

Overreliance on Orthographic Similarity in L2‐Japanese Conceptual Processing by L1‐Chinese Learners

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Orthographic and phonological similarities between first (L1) and second (L2) languages can facilitate L2 processing. Particularly, L1‐Chinese learners of L2‐Japanese can benefit from the shared morphosyllabic Chinese characters (Japanese kanji/Chinese hanzi) because of their similar orthographies.

Effective Phoneme Decoding With Hyperbolic Neural Networks for High-Performance Speech BCIs

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Objective: Speech brain-computer interfaces (speech BCIs), which convert brain signals into spoken words or sentences, have demonstrated great potential for high-performance BCI communication. Phonemes are the basic pronunciation units.

Mini social cognition and emotional assessment: Diagnostic performance and neural correlates in behavioural‐variant frontotemporal dementia

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We aimed at validating the Mini Social Cognition and Emotional Assessment (Mini‐SEA) in a German cohort of mildly impaired behavioural‐variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) patients and healthy controls. The Mini‐SEA comprises the Facial Emotion Recognition Test (FERT) and the Faux Pas Test (FPT) measuring Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities in ...

Exploring Theory of Mind abilities in patients with probable idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated Theory of Mind (ToM) deficits in patients with suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a condition affecting motor, cognitive and autonomic functions. Given the overlap between ToM‐related neural networks and those affected in iNPH, we examined whether ToM impairments are a feature of the disease ...
