Here we present two experiments investigating the implicit orienting of attention over time by entrainment to an auditory rhythmic stimulus. In the first experiment, participants carried out a detection and discrimination tasks with auditory and visual targets while listening to an isochronous, auditory sequence, which acted as the entraining stimulus. For the second experiment, we used musical...

In two experiments, the time-course of behavioural and electrophysiological measures of semantic priming were examined between the visual and auditory modalities. In Experiment 1, auditory targets (words and pseudowords) were paired with visual prime words that onset either simultaneously with the target (0 msec stimulus onset asynchrony, SOA) or at one of two delays (200 and 800 msec SOA). Sub...

Objectives: A common concern in some cochlear-implanted children is the lack of desired progress auditory and listening skills. Such a remains despite proper verbal processor programming, additional disabilities, continuous participation hearing rehabilitation programs. more detailed assessment pathways centers processing at lower end brain stem by measuring time Electrical Stapedius Reflex (ES...

Abstract This study addresses the role of domain-general mechanisms in second-language learning and knowledge using an individual differences approach. We examine predictive validity implicit-statistical aptitude for implicit knowledge. Participants ( n = 131) completed a battery four measures nine grammar tests. Structural equation modeling revealed that only alternating serial reaction time t...

BACKGROUND Falls related to balance dysfunction are among the major problems of older individuals. The timing characteristics of protective voluntary stepping are critically related to effective balance recovery and are often delayed and slowed with age. This study investigated the influence of step training on the timing characteristics of voluntary step initiation in younger and older adults....
