Learning rule-described and non-rule-described categories: a comparison of children and adults.
30 Oct 2008 Three experiments investigated the ability of 3-, 5-, and 8-year-old children as well as adults to learn sets of perceptual categories. Adults and children performed comparably on categories that could be learned by either a single-dimensional rule ...

Development of phonological awareness in bilingual chinese children.
30 Oct 2008 This study investigated the phonological awareness of 219 first, second, and fourth grade Cantonese-speaking children from the south of China, who received immersion Mandarin instruction beginning in the first grade. Children received onset, rime ...

Anchoring in a novel bimanual coordination pattern.
5 Oct 2008 Anchoring in cyclical movements has been defined as regions of reduced spatial or temporal variability [Beek, P. J. (1989). Juggling dynamics. PhD thesis. Amsterdam: Free University Press] that are typically found at movement reversal points. For ...

Striatal degeneration impairs language learning: evidence from Huntington's disease.
5 Oct 2008 Although the role of the striatum in language processing is still largely unclear, a number of recent proposals have outlined its specific contribution. Different studies report evidence converging to a picture where the striatum may be involved in ...
