Effects of prematurity and socio‐economic status on early life language exposure: A video coding study

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, Volume 44, Issue 2, Page 469-484, June 2026.
Abstract Preterm birth is associated with later language impairment and delay. Socio‐economic deprivation is linked to decreased language exposure in early childhood, but it is unknown how prematurity influences this relationship. This study investigated the effects of socio‐economic status and gestational age at birth on language exposure, in a sample

Journal of Neuropsychology, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 502-509, June 2026.
Abstract We identified in two awake surgery cases a postoperative double dissociation between phonological and graphemic output buffer deficits. Using lesion‐symptom mapping from ischaemic mini‐strokes and preoperative tractography, we demonstrated that the phonological (resp. graphemic) disorder fitted with ventral (resp.
