Neural Processing of Speech Sounds in Autistic Kindergarteners as a Predictor of Reading Outcomes.

Phonology is an important foundation of reading development; however, little is known about the neural substrates of speech sound processing and reading development in autistic children. We investigated early auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to speech sounds and their association with reading ability (word recognition and reading comprehension). 56 kindergarteners (28 ASD, 28 TD) completed an ERP task using rhyming, bisyllabic pseudowords (/gibu/ and /bidu/) in an old/new design: 50% "old" and 50% "new" stimuli presented following a sensitization block of 100% "old" stimuli. Behavioral measures of reading ability were completed at kindergarten entry and exit. Results from generalized linear mixed models revealed a significant three-way interaction between stimuli ("new" vs. "old"), diagnosis (ASD vs. TD), and reading ability (for word recognition and reading comprehension) for P1 and P2 amplitude. Follow-up analyses revealed that autistic children with lower reading abilities showed greater P1 and P2 amplitudes for "new" vs. "old" stimuli, with effects ranging from marginal to significant (p's 0.04-0.07). Regression analyses revealed that old/new ERP difference scores significantly predicted later word recognition at kindergarten year-end (P1 amplitude: p = .05; P2 amplitude: p = .04), but not reading comprehension, controlling for sex and nonverbal IQ. Autistic children with poorer reading skills, specifically those with weaker word recognition abilities, show neural differences when processing speech sounds compared to autistic peers with greater reading ability and typically developing children. A better understanding of the neural basis of speech sound processing could enhance our insight into the heterogeneity in reading among individuals with ASD and guide future treatment approaches.

Ability to Understand German Language Spoken Text Through Musik Media at the German Language Education Studi Program FKIP Unpatti Ambon

Oral-text comprehension is one of the essential conditions that ensure interactive oral communication. Oral texts are not only understood as utterances delivered during oral communication but also in the form of announcements, notifications, discussions through audio media. In German language learning, Hörverstehen material is more focused on oral texts delivered through the media. This study aims to describe whether there is a difference in oral-text comprehension ability before and after using music media in learning. This research is an experiment involving 11 students who attended the B1 Preparation Course at the Pattimura University Language Study Center as participants. The activity began with a pretest and then continued with a treatment using music as a medium and then ended with a post-test. The results analysis show that the application of music as a medium in language learning, especially in understanding spoken text in German, contributes positively to the competence of understanding spoken text. The positive contribution is possible because the application of music in learning can condition two things at once, namely creating joyful learning and habituation of word sounds in song verses in students' hearing. The conclusion is based on the results of statistical calculations which show that the calculation value of t = (5.17) is greater than Ttab (1.81) at a significant level of 0.05. On the basis of this finding, it is hoped that this finding can be used as an alternative in improving the ability to understand German spoken text. Keywords: Oral text comprehension skills, music media, language learning, listening skills

Aging of lexical access in Chinese spoken word production: A picture-word interference study.

It remains unknown how language-production processes decline with age. Using a picture-word interference task, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of aging on lexical access and the contributions of language-specific and domain-general factors to semantic, phonological, and orthographic effects in Chinese spoken word production. After controlling for years of education, language comprehension, and domain-general cognitive abilities, we found a larger semantic interference effect for older speakers than for younger speakers, while the phonological effect and orthographic effect were comparable for the two age groups, supporting the transmission deficit hypothesis. Furthermore, discourse comprehension and general cognitive abilities were found to contribute to the phonological effect in older adults, but not in younger adults. Our findings indicate that both language-specific factors and domain-general factors contribute to the aging of spoken word production together.

Comprehensive and Robust Anti-Jamming Dual-Electrode Pair Sensor.

Capacitive flexible sensors often encounter instability caused by temperature fluctuations, electromagnetic interference, stray capacitance effects, and signal noise induced by ubiquitous vibrations. The challenge lies in achieving comprehensive anti-jamming abilities while preserving a simplistic structure and manufacturing process. To tackle this dilemma, a straightforward and effective design is utilized to achieve comprehensive and robust anti-jamming properties in capacitive sensors. Electrospinning thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fiber mats soak with ionic liquid (IL) to create a co-continuous structure (TPU@IL) with high ionic conductivity and dielectric constant, which acts as the sensing units. The sensing mechanism of the TPU@IL with multiple electrode pairs encapsulated by polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is systematically elucidated. The optimal dual-electrode pair design for capacitive and resistive sensors, which have different sensitivities to temperature and stress, simultaneous realizes temperature-stress dual-mode sensing. Remarkably, the sensitivity curve of the TPU@IL/PET capacitive sensor exhibits an intriguing rarely reported S-shape with an adjustable step stress point. No liquid leakage even during extensive stress-strain cycling (>4000 cycles). Despite a slight compromise in sensitivity and response time, the TPU@IL/PET sensor demonstrates exceptional electromechanical stability, reliability, and powerful anti-jamming abilities against various interferences. A simple yet innovative sensor design enhances the performance and applicability of capacitive sensors in challenging environments.

Investigating the Impact of Technology Addiction on Early Literacy Skills: A Study of First Graders

This study explores the impact of gadget addiction on the reading abilities of Grade 1 learners, focusing on how technology dependence affects early literacy development. Using a quantitative descriptive correlational approach, the study examined the relationship between gadget addiction and reading proficiency. The findings indicate a minimal and statistically insignificant negative correlation between gadget addiction and reading skills, suggesting that technology use does not significantly impede children's reading development. Despite notable indicators of gadget addiction, such as technology interference in family activities and difficulties in avoiding social media, most learners displayed strong reading and comprehension abilities. The results imply that factors beyond technological dependency, such as educational practices, parental involvement, and individual learner characteristics, may have a more substantial influence on early literacy skills. Consequently, the study concludes that addressing gadget addiction alone may not be sufficient to improve reading abilities. Instead, a comprehensive approach considering various educational and developmental factors should be prioritized. Efforts to enhance early literacy should focus on broader educational strategies, parental guidance, and individualized learner support. The study contributes to ongoing discussions about the balance between technology use and traditional literacy practices in early education, advocating for more holistic approaches to foster reading development in young learners. Future research should explore other contributing factors to literacy achievement, moving beyond the narrow focus on digital device usage.
