Input to the Language Learning Infant: The Impact of Other Children

Developmental Science, Volume 28, Issue 5, September 2025.
ABSTRACT In urban, industrialized cultures, the best predictor of how children acquire their native language is child‐directed speech from adults. However, in many societies, children are much less exposed to such input. What has remained unexplored is the impact of another type of input: other children's speech. In cross‐cultural head‐turn experiments,

Austerity's afterlives? The case of community asset transfer in the UK

The Geographical Journal, Volume 191, Issue 3, September 2025.
Short Abstract Community infrastructure and the care that it provides has been at the sharp end of swingeing government cuts brought about through austere economics and politics. In the UK, a manifestation, and legacy, of this process is Community Asset Transfer (CAT).

Diagnostic Accuracy of an Orofacial Scale for the Detection of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 52, Issue 9, Page 1343-1350, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are known to have orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) compared to healthy individuals. Consequently, treatment with oropharyngeal exercises has shown promise in some OSA cases. However, this requires an adequate orofacial myofunctional evaluation.

Artificial Intelligence‐Generated Feedback for Second Language Intelligibility: An Exploratory Intervention Study on Effects and Perceptions

Language Learning, Volume 75, Issue S1, Page 204-241, September 2025.
Abstract This study investigated the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models and signal detection processes to generate meaningful visual and ChatGPT‐like narrative feedback on second language (L2) English intelligibility. To test the effects and perceptions of such techniques, three groups of learners (N = 90) received visual and narrative feedback

Roles of Domain‐General Auditory Processing in Second Language Speech Learning Revisited: What Degree of Precision Makes a Difference?

Language Learning, Volume 75, Issue S1, Page 97-138, September 2025.
Abstract This study expands on the practical application of the critical role of auditory processing in the rate of naturalistic L2 speech acquisition. In Study 1, the prosodic production of English by 46 Chinese college students was tracked over a five‐month study abroad program in the UK.
