Listeners adapt to the speech rate of talkers. Many studies of speech rate adaptation have focused on the influence of rate information on the perception of word segmentation or segmental perception in English. The effects of immediately adjacent (i.e., proximal) information are generally strong on the perception of both segments and segmentation, but the effects of rate information temporally remote from (i.e., distal to) ambiguous speech signals are less clear...

by Crystal Uminski, Brian A. Couch

Recent national calls to transform undergraduate science education have centered on engaging students in scientific practices as a means to help them develop deeper insights into science. The three-dimensional framework for science education encapsulates the goals of these national calls by recommending that instructors integrate scientific practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas throughout their courses. Prior research has found that... Читать дальше...

by K. Kanoho Hosoda, Mica Estrada

The well-being of people working and studying in higher education, including students, staff, and faculty, is a topic of increasing concern. The lack of well-being may be attributed to the current academic context, which does not consistently provide cues that affirm social inclusion to all members of the academic population. This study examines the role of kindness (defined as actions that affirm dignity and social inclusion) in promoting identification... Читать дальше...

by Younhee Kim, Min Kyung Lim

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the critical importance of vaccination in controlling infectious diseases. While previous research has identified social cohesion as a potential facilitator of health behaviors, empirical studies exploring its direct impact on COVID-19 vaccination rates, especially across different age groups, remain limited. This cross-sectional study utilized data from the 2021 Korean Community Health Survey, a nationally representative survey conducted in South Korea. Читать дальше...

Stress among caregivers of autistic children: Conceptual analysis and verification using two qualitative datasets

En

by Stephen James Gentles, Janet McLaughlin, Margaret A. Schneider

In this two-part study, we first present the results of a sub-analysis of empirical data from a large grounded theory study of caregivers’ (parents) navigating autism-related care. The purpose of this analysis was to develop a conceptual overview of stress and crisis. We then describe the results and feasibility of using a framework analysis approach to verify and extend this conceptual analysis using qualitative survey data from a comparable population.

The gut-brain axis is regarded as a bidirectional communication system that integrates signals from the gut microbiome into behavioral aspects and vice versa. The aim of the present study was to investigate the gut microbiome-behavior interaction in relation to aggression. For that, male rats from a group-housed colony were individually housed with a female to become territorial. Next, a coping strategy was assigned to them... Читать дальше...
