Adult conversational recasts are based on child platform utterances that contain errors (e.g., Child: "Me going." Adult: "Yes, you are going"), and recasts are effective in the child language literature. For many years, adult recasts of preschoolers' stuttered utterances were surmised as fluency-facilitating, but to date, no evidence has been reported to support their efficacy. The purpose was to investigate the natural occurrence of, and the fluency-facilitating potential of, recasts produced by caregivers and clinicians/examiners in free-play interactions transcribed from audio or video recordings on FluencyBank. Forty-three participants with a median age of 38 mo (3;2) (Range=28-73 mo), including 32 boys and 11 girls were selected from five databases, and recasts which were near-imitations and simple recasts as per Weiss (2002) were identified. One database chosen was the Illinois project, to include a subgroup of persistent (n = 9) and recovered children (n = 9). In the 43 participants, significantly (p < 0.0001) fewer stutters and lower percent syllables stuttered (%SS) were observed in post-recast utterances (4%SS) as compared to post-nonrecast utterances (12.5%SS). The CWS-persistent subgroup (n = 9) did not fit the group trend of the 34 others who significantly differed in stuttering frequency post-nonrecast versus postrecast. Findings are taken to mean that adult conversational recasts of preschoolers' stuttered utterances are fluency-facilitating, and interpretations are addressed.

Maximizing the welfare of society requires distributing goods between groups of people with different preferences. Such decisions are difficult because different moral principles impose irreconcilable solutions. For example, utilitarian efficiency (maximize overall outcome across individuals) may need trade-off against Rawlsian fairness norms (maximize the outcome for the worst-off individual).

Building social bonds is a critical task of adolescence that affords opportunities for learning, identity formation, and social support. Failing to develop close relationships in adolescence hinders adult interpersonal functioning and contributes to problems such as loneliness and depression. During adolescence, increased reward sensitivity and greater social flexibility both contribute to healthy social development, yet we lack a clear theory of how these processes interact to support social functioning.

Research has shown significant differences and inequalities in the health of women and men who care for older dependent family members, with women having poorer health and suffering more from overload. Women internalize a cultural model of caregiving involving social norms whereby caring becomes a central dimension of gender-female identity, cutting across other aspects of life. This study takes a biopsychosocial approach, understanding gender as a determinant of health, in order to investigate the processes of subjectivation (and "technologies of the self") that mediate between the social organization of care and the health of women.

The human capacity to imagine possible future events unintentionally, with minimal cognitive effort, is termed spontaneous future thought (SFT). This paper addresses an important theoretical question for cognitive science: What are the possible cognitive mechanisms underlying such SFT experiences? We contrasted three hypotheses present in the literature: the online construction hypothesis, the recasting hypothesis, and the memories of future thoughts hypothesis. Study 1 (N = 41) used novel subjective ratings which challenged the recasting mechanism: SFTs were mostly rated as dissimilar to autobiographical memories, suggesting they are not simply past experiences 'recast' as future events.

Objective: The long term benefit of carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) can be reduced by recurrent stroke related to in stent re-stenosis (ISR). An individualised predictive tool is needed to identify ISR events. A nomogram for individual risk assessment of ISR ≥ 70% after CAS is proposed.
