Morphological awareness (MA) is the ability to recognize words, identify association between lexically attached parts of a word and create new lexical forms. instruction mediates acquisition words is, therefore, crucial for developing morphological vocabulary knowledge. Currently, receptive-productive continuum MA remains unclear, especially in an EFL context. This quasi-experimental study inve...

Knowledge of the physiology of the primate visual cortex (area V-1) comes mostly from studies done in photopic conditions, in which retinal cones are active and rods play little or no part. Conflicting results have come from research into the effects of dark adaptation on receptive field organization of cells in the retina and the lateral geniculate nucleus. These studies claim either that the ...

PURPOSE Some researchers (F. R. Vellutino, F. M. Scanlon, & M. S. Tanzman, 1994) have argued that the different domains comprising language (e.g., phonology, semantics, and grammar) may influence reading development in a differential manner and at different developmental periods. The purpose of this study was to examine proposed causal relationships among different linguistic subsystems and dif...

mercury is a dangerous and an extremely toxic element, which can transfer to the food chain.presence of this element in the atmosphere particularly during the rainy seasons cause soil and environmental pollution, therefore this research will evaluate the transformation of mercury vapor from the atmosphere through precipitation into the soil. in the present study, mercury concentrations were det...

Studies often report that bilingual participants possess a smaller vocabulary in the language of testing than monolinguals, especially in research with children. However, each study is based on a small sample so it is difficult to determine whether the vocabulary difference is due to sampling error. We report the results of an analysis of 1,738 children between 3 and 10 years old and demonstrat...
