Short-term sentence recall: evidence for the contribution of acoustic-sensory information.

To demonstrate that short-term sentence recall is based on conceptual and lexico-semantic information, Potter and Lombardi [J. Memory Lang. 29 (1990) 633] conducted a series of experiments using the intrusion paradigm, which combines short-term sentence recall and lexical priming. In the present paper, we employed the intrusion paradigm to demonstrate that acoustic-sensory information is involved in sentence regeneration as well. For this purpose, we presented sentences visually for silent reading (conceptual and phonological information) and reading aloud (conceptual, phonological, and--in addition--acoustic-sensory information). We demonstrated that less intrusions appeared in the reading aloud condition. This effect supports the assumption that, if available, acoustic-sensory information contributes to the regeneration process.

Background: Aging brings physical and life changes that could benefit from eHealth services. eHealth holistically combines technology, tasks, individuals, and contexts, and all these intertwined elements should be considered in eHealth development. As users' needs change with life situations, including aging and retirement, it is important to identify these needs at different life stages to develop eHealth services for well-being and active, healthy lives.

Understanding how children acquire syntactic structures from a limited set of grammatical rules and use them creatively to convey meaning has been a longstanding interest for scientific communities. Previous studies on syntactic development have revealed its close correlation with the development of vocabulary and working memory. Our study sought to elucidate how the relations between syntactic processing, word processing, and working memory were instantiated in the brain, and how earlier neural patterns might predict language abilities one year later.

Background:  Children with hearing loss (HL) have difficulty in performing the complex functions of language, especially in noisy environments. Cognitive processes such as working memory and short-term memory are effective on individual differences in language skills in children with HL.

Purpose:  The present study aimed to evaluate the vocabulary and syntax skills in language development areas and working memory of children with HL and to compare these results with those of their peers with normal hearing (NH).

Fluid Intelligence Partially Mediates the Effect of Working Memory on Speech Recognition in Noise.

J Speech Lang Hear Res

January 2025

Disability Research Division, Department of Behavioural Sciences and Learning, Linköping University, Sweden.

Purpose: Although the existing literature has explored the link between cognitive functioning and speech recognition in noise, the specific role of fluid intelligence still needs to be studied. Given the established association between working memory capacity (WMC) and fluid intelligence and the predictive power of WMC for speech recognition in noise, we aimed to elucidate the mediating role of fluid intelligence.

Method: We used data from the n200 study, a longitudinal investigation into aging, hearing ability, and cognitive functioning.

Leveraging Large Language Models for Improved Understanding of Communications With Patients With Cancer in a Call Center Setting: Proof-of-Concept Study.

J Med Internet Res

December 2024

Department of Digital Health, Samsung Advanced Institute for Health Sciences and Technology, Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • Hospital call centers are vital for supporting cancer patients and accurately identifying their inquiries is essential, but existing models like LSTM and BERT face challenges due to their reliance on labor-intensive, annotated datasets.
  • This study tests GPT-4's ability to classify the intents of cancer patient phone consultations and compares its performance with traditional models like LSTM and BERT, particularly in handling complex queries.
  • GPT-4 demonstrates superior accuracy (85.2%) compared to LSTM (73.7%) and BERT (71.3%) in processing patient inquiries, showing its effectiveness with fewer training examples.
