Reactions of teachers and college students were obtained to a child, labeled male or female, exhibiting stereotypically masculine or feminine verbal behavior. The findings were: (1) adults did not redirect or discourage cross-gender compared with gender-appropriate behavior; (2) adults rated same-sex children higher on a subset of masculine traits, regardless of the child's behavior; (3) adult females rated the child more positively and responded to the child in a more reinforcing manner than did males; (4) male teachers responded to the child more positively than nonteachers, but the reverse was true for females; (5) all adults reinforced feminine more than masculine behaviors; and (6) nonteachers were more attracted to the female child and the child exhibiting feminine behaviors, while teachers were more attracted to the male child and the child exhibiting masculine behaviors.

Background: High-risk fertility behavior (HRFB) is a serious public health issue that may influence the country's economic development as well as the health status of mothers mainly in developing countries, like Ethiopia.However, there is a scarcity of evidence about HRFB and associated factors in the study area. Therefore, this study assessed HRFB and associated factors among mothers attending antenatal care in public health facilities in Hossana town, Hadiya zone, Central Ethiopia Region.

Short-term memory for sequences of verbal items such as written words is reliably impaired by task-irrelevant background sounds, a phenomenon known as the "Irrelevant Sound Effect" (ISE). Different theoretical accounts have been proposed to explain the mechanisms underlying the ISE. Some of these assume specific interference between obligatory sound processing and phonological or serial order representations generated during task performance, whereas other posit that background sounds involuntarily divert attention away from the focal task.

Newborns are able to neurally discriminate between speech and nonspeech right after birth. To date it remains unknown whether this early speech discrimination and the underlying neural language network is associated with later language development. Preterm-born children are an interesting cohort to investigate this relationship, as previous studies have shown that preterm-born neonates exhibit alterations of speech processing and have a greater risk of later language deficits.
