How do gestural interactions support visuospatial cognition in STEM learning?

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Technology, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 1140-1162, July 2026.
Abstract Existing literature shows that touchscreen devices can support learning of visuospatially rich STEM content. However, the mechanisms by which touchscreen devices support cognition in learning remains unclear. This study examined how gestural interactions afforded by touchscreen devices support visuospatial cognition in STEM learning by ...

Hemodynamic Responses to Word Forms in Japanese Infant‐Directed Vocabulary in 5‐ and 9‐Month‐Old Infants: Early Sensitivity to Prosodic Structure and Emergence of Prosodic Representations

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The prosodic characteristics of a native language greatly influence early language acquisition. Yet, Japanese mothers are known to use a specific prosodic structure in infant‐directed vocabulary (IDV)—specifically, three‐mora, two‐syllable words with a heavy‐light pattern—which, crucially, differs from the standard prosodic rhythm of adult ...

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 ...

Keeping an Eye on Looking Measures: Towards More Robust Developmental Methods

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A persistent challenge in experimental developmental psychology is determining which of many possible outcome measures best captures underlying behaviors and processes. In the looking‐while‐listening paradigm for studying early word comprehension, researchers have developed more than 12 distinct outcome measures, but have limited empirical ...

Effect of integrated inorganic and organic fertilizer on yield and yield components of maize at Bako Agricultural Research Center in Western Ethiopia

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the combined application of vermicompost and NPS fertilizer on maize (Zea mays L.) yield and yield components under low soil fertility conditions in western Ethiopia. A field experiment was conducted at Bako Agricultural Research Center using a randomized complete block design with three replications.
