Potential of a digital parenting app to support parents of toddlers: Relations between the intensity of app use, language‐related parental self‐efficacy and the home literacy environment

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The home literacy environment (HLE) has a considerable influence on children's language development. How parents perceive their own parenting abilities (e.g., how well they encourage their children's language development) is particularly important when it comes to guiding their children appropriately through different stages of development ...

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Mandarin Singing Voice Synthesis Based on Harmonic Plus Noise Model and Singing Expression Analysis [PDF]

, 2015
The purpose of this study is to investigate how humans interpret musical scores expressively, and then design machines that sing like humans. We consider six factors that have a strong influence on the expression of human singing. The factors are related

Comparative assessment of artificial intelligence chatbots' performance in responding to healthcare professionals' and caregivers' questions about Dravet syndrome

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Artificial intelligence chatbots have been a game changer in healthcare, providing immediate, round‐the‐clock assistance. However, their accuracy across specific medical domains remains under‐evaluated. Dravet syndrome remains one of the most challenging epileptic encephalopathies, with new data continuously emerging in the ...

Exploring the Role of Hand Gestures in Learning Novel Phoneme Contrasts and Vocabulary in a Second Language

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
Co-speech hand gestures are a type of multimodal input that has received relatively little attention in the context of second language learning. The present study explored the role that observing and producing different types of gestures plays in ...

Dichotic Perception of Lexical Tones in Cantonese-Speaking Congenital Amusics

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Congenital amusia is an inborn neurogenetic disorder of musical pitch processing, which also induces impairment in lexical tone perception. However, it has not been examined before how the brain specialization of lexical tone perception is affected in ...

Perceptual adjustment to time-compressed Speech: a cross-linguistic study [PDF]

, 1998
revious research has shown that, when hearers listen to artificially speeded speech, their performance improves over the course of 10-15 sentences, as if their perceptual system was "adapting" to these fast rates of speech.
