Studies have shown that dyslexic children present a deficiency in the temporal processing of auditory stimuli applied in rapid succession. However, discussion continues concerning the way this deficiency can be influenced by temporal variables of auditory processing tests. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to analyze by auditory temporal processing tests the effect of temporal var...

Nationally, over 25,000 herds with more than 4 million cows participate in a Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA) testing plan in conjunction with a Dairy Record Processing Center (DRPC) [1]. Countless other herds use on-farm record keeping systems to maintain information. Technological advances continue to enhance the ease and speed at which information can be recorded, transmitted, and p...

Quenched disorder is known to play a relevant role in dynamical processes and phase transitions. Its effects on the dynamics of complex networks have hardly been studied. Aimed at filling this gap, we analyze the contact process, i.e., the simplest propagation model, with quenched disorder on complex networks. We find Griffiths phases and other rare-region effects, leading rather generically to...

This commentary responds to Aarseth et al.'s (in press) criticisms that the ICD-11 Gaming Disorder proposal would result in "moral panics around the harm of video gaming" and "the treatment of abundant false-positive cases." The ICD-11 Gaming Disorder avoids potential "overpathologizing" with its explicit reference to functional impairment caused by gaming and therefore improves upon a number o...

OBJECTIVES The main purpose of this study was to culturally adapt the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) to Turkish and to evaluate its internal consistency, validity, and reliability. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Turkish version of CAPE-V was developed, and with the use of a prospective case-control design, the voice recordings of 130 participants were collected accordin...

Central auditory processing disorders in children are introduced and defined. The article explains who should be evaluated and for what reasons. The evaluation process, test stimuli, and use of assessment findings are presented.

In situ high P-T Raman measurements and optical observations of solid and fluid oxygen up to 1250 K between 8 and 25 GPa reveal the existence of a new molecular phase eta and strikingly unusual behavior of the melting curve. Three triple points were also identified in the P-T domain of the new phase. The data give a direct measure of the melting curve that greatly extends previous optical inves...

Results from event-related potential (ERP) studies are reviewed that investigated crossmodal links in spatial attention between vision, audition and touch to find out which stages in the processing of sensory stimuli are affected by such crossmodal links. ERPs were recorded in response to visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli under conditions where attention was directed to a specific location ...

In this reply, we provide an analysis of Alter et al. (2013) response to our earlier paper (Thompson et al., 2013). In that paper, we reported difficulty in replicating Alter, Oppenheimer, Epley, and Eyre's (2007) main finding, namely that a sense of disfluency produced by making stimuli difficult to perceive, increased accuracy on a variety of reasoning tasks. Alter, Oppenheimer, and Epley (20...
