Development and Testing of the West Midlands Assessment of Speech‐Preschool (WAS‐P) for 3‐Year‐Olds With Cleft Palate ± Cleft Lip

International Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 61, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In the United Kingdom, cleft care is provided across 14 regional NHS cleft units. Although all units assess speech at age 3, no speech assessments have been designed specifically for 3‐year‐old children with cleft palate ± cleft lip (CP ± L).

Hemodynamic Responses to Word Forms in Japanese Infant‐Directed Vocabulary in 5‐ and 9‐Month‐Old Infants: Early Sensitivity to Prosodic Structure and Emergence of Prosodic Representations

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The prosodic characteristics of a native language greatly influence early language acquisition. Yet, Japanese mothers are known to use a specific prosodic structure in infant‐directed vocabulary (IDV)—specifically, three‐mora, two‐syllable words with a heavy‐light pattern—which, crucially, differs from the standard prosodic rhythm of adult ...

Newborns' Language Discrimination May Not Reflect Sensitivity to Speech Rhythm: Evidence From Computational Modeling

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Human newborns are able to discriminate between certain languages but not others. This ability has long been attributed to sensitivity to rhythm—the temporal regularities in speech of different languages. Here, we demonstrate through a series of computational simulations that this discrimination behavior can be achieved using no temporal ...

Biomechanics and Evolution of the Primate Tongue

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Primate tongue morphology and function are critical to understanding the evolution of feeding, swallowing, and vocalization. In this paper, we examine the primate tongue as a muscular hydrostat with regionally specialized neuromuscular compartments. We integrate anatomical, kinematic, and biomechanical modeling approaches to analyze how muscle

Brain–Computer Interfaces: The Dawn of a New Era in Disease Treatment

Exploration, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study investigates the potential of brain–computer interface (BCI) technology in treating neuropsychiatric disorders, such as movement and communication barriers. Our review examines the history, signal paradigms, and diverse applications of BCI while also discussing ongoing research into novel materials and emerging technologies that offer ...

Characterizing Secondary Velopharyngeal Surgery in Children With Cleft Palate at an Academic Center

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 6, Page 2792-2800, June 2026.
In this retrospective study of children undergoing primary palatoplasty at a single academic institution, 10.8% required secondary surgery for velopharyngeal insufficiency. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that private insurance was associated with decreased odds of secondary surgery, while Asian race was associated with increased odds.

Family‐Involved Hybrid Voice Therapy for Pediatric Vocal Fold Nodules in School‐Aged Children: Clinical Outcomes and Socioeconomic Associations

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective(s) To evaluate the effectiveness of a family‐involved hybrid voice therapy program in children with vocal fold nodules using multidimensional voice outcomes (objective acoustic, auditory‐perceptual, and parent‐reported measures) and to examine whether family socioeconomic opportunity is associated with baseline burden or ...

X‐Linked Intellectual Developmental Disorder‐93 Caused by BRWD3 Mutation in Females: A Case Report and Literature Review

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
A case of MRX93 in a 1‐year‐and‐3‐month‐old girl was reported, in whom a heterozygous deletion from exon 21 to exon 30 in the BRWD3 gene occurred. We conducted a literature review to explore the clinical phenotypes and genetic characteristics of MRX93 in females. ABSTRACT Objective To report the clinical manifestations and genetic diagnosis of a female

Finding Minimum‐Cost Explanations for Predictions Made by Tree Ensembles

Software: Practice and Experience, Volume 56, Issue 6, Page 615-642, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ability to reliably explain why a machine learning model arrives at a particular prediction is crucial when used as decision support by human operators of critical systems. The provided explanations must be provably correct, and preferably without redundant information, called minimal explanations.
