Carry-over coarticulation in joint angles

Anticipatory and carry-over nasal coarticulation in the speech of children and adults.

Producing (n) requires a lingual constriction to be formed and the velopharyngeal port (VPP) to be opened. This study examined interarticulator timing in the speech of adults and children aged 5 and 10 years. A new acoustic method was developed to determine the time at which VPP opening began during vowels spoken in the context of (d-n), and VPP closing reached completion in vowels spoken in th...

Gait Recognition Using Joint Moments, Joint Angles and Segment Angles

INTRODUCTION Recognition of gait patterns has been studied intensively during the last decades. Different gait strategies have been elucidated by applying different waveform analysis techniques to biomechanical gait data [1,2] and it has been shown that individuals can be identified using joint angles in the sagittal plane [3]. However, little is known about additional biomechanical variables f...

The Carry-Over Effect of Competition in Task-Sharing: Evidence from the Joint Simon Task

The Simon effect, that is the advantage of the spatial correspondence between stimulus and response locations when stimulus location is a task-irrelevant dimension, occurs even when the task is performed together by two participants, each performing a go/no-go task. Previous studies showed that this joint Simon effect, considered by some authors as a measure of self-other integration, does not ...

Sexual Signaling: Climatic Carry-Over

A long term study of warblers in the Himalayas reveals a surprising contrast in the effects of warm springs as opposed to warm summers on a signaling trait, emphasizing the need to consider year-round influences of the environment on morphological variation.
