Semantic processing survey of spoken and written words in adolescents with cerebral palsy: Evidence from PALPA word-picture matching test

Word learning and the cerebral hemispheres: from serial to parallel processing of written words.

Reading familiar words differs from reading unfamiliar non-words in two ways. First, word reading is faster and more accurate than reading of unfamiliar non-words. Second, effects of letter length are reduced for words, particularly when they are presented in the right visual field in familiar formats. Two experiments are reported in which right-handed participants read aloud non-words presente...

The activation of embedded words in spoken word identification is robust but constrained: evidence from the picture-word interference paradigm.

Three picture-word interference (PWI) experiments assessed the extent to which embedded subset words are activated during the identification of spoken superset words (e.g., bone in trombone). Participants named aloud pictures (e.g., brain) while spoken distractors were presented. In the critical condition, superset distractors contained a semantically related embedded word (e.g., charm, which c...

Effect of Child Factors on Parental Attitude towards Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy in Iran

Objectives: To determine the role of child factors in the prediction of parental attitudes towards children and adolescents with CP in Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. One hundred fifty-two children and adolescents with CP aged 7-17 years (mean = 10.93, SD = 3.46) with a mother aged at least 25 years were selected using systematic random sampling. The Mother-Child Relati...

Cascaded processing in written naming: Evidence from the picture–picture interference paradigm

Integrated Phonological Processing in Bilinguals: Evidence from Spoken Word Recognition

The role of cross-linguistic phonological overlap in native and non-native word recognition was examined using an auditory lexical decision task. The degree of phonological overlap across languages was manipulated. Cross-linguistic overlap facilitated word recognition in the non-native language, but inhibited word recognition in the native language. The observed facilitation and inhibition effe...

Predictors of Interest in Performing Activities Among Iranian Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy

Objectives: Generally, adolescents who are interested in performing activities experience positive emotions and report high levels of well-being. However, adolescents with Cerebral Palsy (CP) encounter various issues affecting their interests. The present research was planned to investigate the predictor factors that affect the interest in performing activities in Iranian adolescents with CP. ...
