Luthra, Peraza-Santiago, Beeson, Saltzman, Crinnion, and Magnuson (2021) present data from the lexically mediated compensation for coarticulation paradigm that they claim provides conclusive evidence in favor of top-down processing in speech perception. We argue here that this evidence does not support that conclusion. The findings are open to alternative explanations, and we give data in support of one of them (that there is an acoustic confound in the materials). Lexically mediated compensation for coarticulation thus remains elusive, while prior data from the paradigm instead challenge the idea that there is top-down processing in online speech recognition.

Native and Non-Native Speakers' Recognition of Chinese Two-Character Words in Audio Sentence Comprehension.
Behav Sci (Basel)
December 2024
College of Chinese Language and Literature, Qufu Normal University, No. 57, Jingxuan Road, Qufu 273165, China.
Two experiments were conducted to examine native and non-native speakers' recognition of Chinese two-character words (2C-words) in the context of audio sentence comprehension. The recording was played of a sentence, in which a collocation composed of a number word, a sortal classifier, and a noun (NCN) was embedded. When the participants were about to hear the noun of the NCN (Noun), the playing stopped, and a target was visually presented, which was the Noun, the character-transposed word of the Noun (NounT), or a control word (NounC), or was a homophone nonword for Noun, NounT, or NounC.

Objective: Studies have demonstrated a morphological decomposition process in the initial stages of visual word recognition based on orthographically defined morphemes and independent of semantic and lexical information. The present study sought to investigate this phenomenon in adult Brazilian Portuguese-speaking readers.
Method: Participants performed a lexical decision task preceded by primes at two Stimulus Onset Asynchrony (SOA): 33 or 250 ms.
Living the first years in a pandemic: children's linguistic development and related factors in and out of the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Department of Research Methods and Diagnosis in Education II (OEDIP), Faculty of Education, National University of Distance Education (UNED), Madrid, Spain.
This retrospective study provides insights on linguistic development in exceptional circumstances assessing 378 children (between 2;6 and 3;6) who lived their first years during the COVID-19 pandemic and comparing it with normative data collected before this period ( Cadime et al., 2021). It investigates the extent to which linguistic development was modulated by a complex set of factors, including sex, maternal education, book reading, language-promoting practices, COVID-19 infection, parental stress and sleeping problems, considering three periods (during lockdowns, out of lockdowns and at present).

School of Nursing, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
In Brazil, nasal irrigation is a common procedure for children hospitalized with respiratory conditions. However, it often causes stress for both the child and their family. Nurses need to rethink their approach to care, and the use of therapeutic play can be an ally in transforming the stressful context.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used automated speech analysis on audio-recorded picture descriptions from 40 FTD patients and 22 healthy controls to identify linguistic features that could help distinguish between the two types of atrophy associated with each variant.
- * The analysis revealed key speech features that could differentiate between FTD patients and healthy controls as well as between the two variants of FTD, suggesting potential for a non-invasive diagnostic tool that correlates with specific brain areas involved in language and
