Article Synopsis
- Recent studies indicate that performance on cognitive control tasks stems largely from a task-general efficiency of evidence accumulation (EEA), which is the ability to gather relevant evidence for the task.
- However, findings from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study suggest that EEA estimates from conflict recognition tasks show inconsistencies, particularly in how individuals respond to familiar stimuli instead of goal-relevant ones.
- A new model proposed distinguishes between EEA linked to task goals and use of familiarity, revealing that while EEA correlates strongly across tasks, it shows significant developmental differences and greater reliability compared to familiarity-based processing.
Our objective was to investigate patient-reported maternal and perinatal outcomes and survival among women undergoing aortic valve and/or aortic root replacement (AVR/ARR). This was a single-center observational study of U.S.

Yet, the emergence of anxiety disorders that are associated with fear peaks during this developmental period. Moreover, adolescents show heightened sensitivity to stress relative to children and adults.

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) pose opportunities for re-thinking strategies for enhanced text entry in AAC. In this paper, we present SpeakFaster, consisting of an LLM-powered user interface for text entry in a highly-abbreviated form, saving 57% more motor actions than traditional predictive keyboards in offline simulation.

Article Synopsis
- A recent study analyzed the effect of oxytocin dosage on cesarean delivery rates and adverse outcomes in low-risk nulliparous patients undergoing labor induction at 39 weeks or more.
- The research compared mid- to high-dose oxytocin regimens with low-dose regimens, finding that higher doses were associated with fewer cesarean deliveries, without increasing negative perinatal outcomes.
- The study was a secondary analysis of a larger randomized trial and utilized various statistical methods to evaluate the impact of the different oxytocin dosages on the primary outcomes.
