People are often exposed to more information than they can actually remember. Despite this frequent form of information overload, little is known about how much information people choose to remember. Using a novel “stop” paradigm, the current research examined whether and how people choose to stop receiving new—possibly overwhelming—information with the intent to maximize memory performance.

(2) A longer period of training was required for the patients with more glottal stop sounds to reach normal or near-normal speech. In the younger age group, normal speech was reached within 6 months for the patients with fewer glottal stop sounds, and within 18 months for the cases with more glottal stop sounds. In the older age group, normal or near-normal speech was reached within 9 months fo...

This paper describes a systematic flow of the unstructured data in industry, collected data, stored data, and the amount of data. Big data uses salable storage index and distributed approach to retrieve required information. Therefore, the paper introduces an unstructured data framework for managing and discovering using the 3Vs of big data: variety, velocity, and volume. Different approaches f...

Glottal marking of vowel-initial German words by glottalization and glottal stop insertion were investigated in dependence on speech rate, word type (content vs. function words), word accent, phrasal position and the following vowel. The analysed material consisted of speeches of Konrad Adenauer, Thomas Mann and Richard von Weizsäcker. The investigation shows that not only the left boundary of ...

The present study explores non-durational correlates of the word-initial voiceless stop singleton/geminate contrast in Kelantan Malay (KM) by focusing on the relative values of amplitude and F0 across two syllables of disyllabic words. We are particularly interested in identifying any inter-syllabic differences that could potentially enhance the acoustic salience of voiceless stop geminates in ...
