Recognition of facial, auditory, and bodily emotions in older adults.

3 Oct 2009 Understanding older adults' social functioning difficulties requires insight into their recognition of emotion processing in voices and bodies, not just faces, the focus of most prior research. We examined 60 young and 61 older adults' recognition ... Read more...

Nonlocal effects of prosodic boundaries.

29 Sep 2009 Placing a prosodic boundary before a phrase may influence its syntactic analysis. However, the boundary's effect depends on the presence, size, and position of other, earlier, prosodic boundaries. In three experiments, we extend previous results ... Read more...

Pauses and intonational phrasing: ERP studies in 5-month-old German infants and adults.

29 Sep 2009 In language learning, infants are faced with the challenge of decomposing continuous speech into relevant units, such as syntactic clauses and words. Within the framework of prosodic bootstrapping, behavioral studies suggest infants approach this ... Read more...
