We tested the hypothesis that saccade gains adapt to minimize error between the visual target and the saccade endpoint of every saccade we make even when the errors on sequential saccades are not directionally consistent. We utilized a state-space model that estimated the degree to which saccade gains were modified by the magnitude and direction of errors made on the previous trial. Importantly...

While learners’ ability to speak academic language develops over time in content-based programs, the development of their nonacademic language appears to lag behind. Students’ speaking in content-based (CB) classrooms is confined to an academic discourse style. In the researchers’ point of view, the gap of less amount of nonacademic speaking can be bridged by the application of the conceptual f...

Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites that use cell proteins to take the control of the cell functions in order to accomplish their life cycle. Studying the viral-host interactions would increase our knowledge of the viral biology and mechanisms of pathogenesis. Studies on pathogenesis mechanisms of lyssaviruses, which are the causative agents of rabies, have revealed some important ho...

One of the most controversial problems in recent work on syntax is the so-called control phenomenon of the subject of an infinitival clause; More specifically, the central issue is how the subject of the infinitival clause ia interpreted. For instance, in the sentence, 'John promised Mary to go to Japan,' the subject of the infinitival clause, 'to go to Japan,' is necessarily interpreted as the...

In this study, we test 12 high-functioning children with autism (HFA), aged 12-16, on a pictureselection task assessing comprehension of binding and compare their performance on this construction with that on an already conducted, similarly designed task, testing comprehension of obligatory control (Janke & Perovic, submitted). We compare the children’s performance on these two tasks to that of...

OBJECTIVE To determine how obligatory single embryo transfer (SET) and elective SET influence pregnancy outcome. STUDY DESIGN We compared women who underwent obligatory and elective SET using data from a comprehensive, population-based register from the United Kingdom Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, which contained all in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments administered between...
