Repeated reading and Chinese oral‐reading fluency: Is prosodic sensitivity an indispensable link?
Abstract Background This quasi‐experimental study tested whether prosodic sensitivity serves as a mediator through which an 8‐week repeated reading intervention improves Chinese oral reading fluency. Methods Seventy‐nine typically developing Chinese Grades 4–6 students, including 39 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group, were recruited ...

Eyewitness testimony by individuals who stammer: Evidence, experience and perceived credibility
Abstract Stammering may impede an individual's eyewitness testimony and reduce jurors' perceptions of their credibility through a complex interplay of bio‐psycho‐social factors. However, no research to date has explored this. Three co‐produced, mixed‐methods studies are reported, investigating the evidential quality, lived experiences and perceived ...

The rhythm of sensory input shapes audio‐visual temporal processing
Abstract The temporal relationship between incoming signals is crucial in determining whether multisensory information is integrated into unitary percepts. Temporal binding windows (TBWs) define the time range within which multisensory inputs are highly likely to be perceptually integrated, even if asynchronous.

Long‐Term Visual Gist Abstraction Independent of Post‐Encoding Sleep
ABSTRACT Current theories of memory processing postulate a slow transformation from episodic to abstract, gist‐like memories. We previously demonstrated that sleep shortly after learning improves gist abstraction in healthy volunteers across a one‐year retention interval using a visual version of the Deese‐Roediger‐McDermott (DRM) paradigm.

ABSTRACT The sensory‐neural temporal sampling (TS) theory of language acquisition emphasizes the role of individual differences in speech rhythm processing. According to this theory, neural oscillations track loudness or amplitude modulation (AM) patterns—rhythmic fluctuations in speech intensity or energy—across multiple timescales.
