Children 5, 9, and 11 years of age and young adults attempted to identify the final word of sentences recorded by a female speaker. The sentences were presented in two levels of multitalker babble, and participants responded by selecting one of four pictures. In a low-noise condition, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was adjusted for each age group to yield 85% correct performance. In a high-noi...

Locally finite omega languages were introduced by Ressayre in [Formal Languages defined by the Underlying Structure of their Words, Journal of Symbolic Logic, 53, number 4, December 1988, p. 1009-1026]. These languages are defined by local sentences and extend ω-languages accepted by Büchi automata or defined by monadic second order sentences. We investigate their topological complexity. All lo...

Abstract When thinking about how human behaviour is regulated, one generally imagines a regulation consisting of norms linguistically expressed in sentences: that is, “sentential deontic regulation”. However, this notion reductive because there are (non‐deontic and) non‐sentential forms regulation. In article, we do not restrict our investigation to regulation; examine whether (non‐deontic) eve...

Methods: Using the concept mapping approach and through team effort, we developed the Essential Resilience Scale (ERS, 15 items) with a conceptual framework consisting of three components (anticipation, flexibility and bounce-back) and three subscales (physical, emotional and social, 5 items per subscale). We tested the ERS with an adult sample (18-45 years old) in Mainland China consisting of ...
