Neurobehavioral Assessment of Sensorimotor Function in Autism Using Smartphone Technology

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Differences in sensorimotor processing represent an important, yet underrecognized, feature of autism; typically assessed through subjective observations, which, although important, are susceptible to biases. To complement these observations, a more objective approach to assess sensorimotor function may be possible through reflex‐based ...

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

Automated classification of mouse pup isolation syllables: from cluster analysis to an Excel based ‘mouse pup syllable classification calculator’

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013
Mouse pups vocalize at high rates when they are cold or isolated from the nest. The proportions of each syllable type produced carry information about disease state and are being used as behavioral markers for the internal state of animals.

Phonemes and Syllables in Speech Perception: size of the attentional focus in French. [PDF]

, 1997
A study by Pitt and Samuel (1990) found that English speakers could narrowly focus attention onto a precise phonemic position inside spoken words [1]. This led the authors to argue that the phoneme, rather than the syllable, is the primary unit of speech
