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

Health 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.

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

Developmental 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

Applied 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

Alzheimer'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

Evolutionary 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

Investigating the Relationship Between Early Speech Milestones and Oral–Motor Development in Infants

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 115, Issue 6, Page 1237-1244, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to determine whether infants' oromotor skills were related to the onset of babbling and their phonetic inventory at 6 months of age. Methods Parents of 50 6‐month‐old infants (41 full‐term, 9 preterm) completed the Child Oral and Motor Proficiency Scale (ChOMPS), a valid and reliable caregiver‐report measure of oromotor ...
