Chapple, Eliot D. – Teachers College Record, 1981
The language of the central nervous system (the brain) differs from logical structures of language. Sound and movement together make up the total response patterns of the individual. In order to investigate the properties of interaction rhythms, verbal and nonverbal, the expressive and performing arts must be understood. (JN)

Dastoor, Barbara; Reed, John – Training and Development, 1993
Dastoor discusses neurolinguistic programing (NLP), a model for understanding human behavior and a set of communication and learning techniques based on the belief that people have preferred modes of acquiring and processing information. Reed explores learner-centered learning. (JOW)

Bickerton, Derek – NAMTA Journal, 2001
Examines similarities between human evolution of language and the development of child's language, including the gradual building of sentence, the use of gestures, and the introduction of symbols. Discusses principles of human uniqueness, brain development, and the internal mechanisms for language stages, and offers conclusions similar to…

Ratcliff, Roger; Perea, Manuel; Colangelo, Annette; Buchanan, Lori – Brain and Cognition, 2004
Acquired aphasics and dyslexics with even very profound word reading impairments have been shown to perform relatively well on the lexical decision task (e.g., Buchanan, Hildebrandt, & MacKinnon, 1999), but direct contrasts with unimpaired participant's data is often complicated by extremely long reaction times for patient data. The dissociation…

Stowe, Laurie A.; Paans, Anne M. J.; Wijers, Albertus A.; Zwarts, Frans – Brain and Language, 2004
In this paper we report the results of an experiment in which subjects read syntactically unambiguous and ambiguous sentences which were disambiguated after several words to the less likely possibility. Understanding such sentences involves building an initial structure, inhibiting the non-preferred structure, detecting that later input is…

Peelle, Jonathan E.; McMillan, Corey; Moore, Peachie; Grossman, Murray; Wingfield, Arthur – Brain and Language, 2004
Sentence comprehension is a complex task that involves both language-specific processing components and general cognitive resources. Comprehension can be made more difficult by increasing the syntactic complexity or the presentation rate of a sentence, but it is unclear whether the same neural mechanism underlies both of these effects. In the…

Bhatnagar, Subhash C.; Mandybur, George T. – Brain and Language, 2005
Fifteen neurosurgical subjects, who were undergoing thalamic chronic electrode implants as a treatment for dyskinesia and chronic pain, were evaluated on a series of neurolinguistic functions to determine if the stimulation of the centromedianum nucleus of the thalamus affected language and cognitive processing. Analysis of the data revealed that…

Ross, Danielle S.; Bever, Thomas G. – Brain and Language, 2004
The present study provides evidence that individuals who have different patterns of cerebral lateralization and who develop along different maturational time courses can attain comparable levels of language proficiency. Right-handed individuals with left-handed family members (left-handed familials, LHFs) showed a shorter sensitive period for…

Liddle, Elizabeth; Jackson, Georgina; Jackson, Stephen – Dyslexia, 2005
A prototype of a biofeedback system designed to treat dyslexia by improving heart-rate variability was evaluated in a single blind study of dyslexic adults. Treatment consisted of four 15 minute exposures to a visual display synchronized with either the participant's own cardiac cycle (intervention condition), or of a synthesized cardiac cycle…

Blumenfeld, Henrike K.; Booth, James R.; Burman, Douglas D. – Brain and Language, 2006
This study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine brain-behavior correlations in a group of 16 children (9- to 12-year-olds). Activation was measured during a semantic judgment task presented in either the visual or auditory modality that required the individual to determine whether a final word was related in meaning to one…

Journal of the Society for Accelerative Learning and Teaching, 1994
Two issues of this serial include the following articles: "Editorial Note for Semiotics Issue" (Pedro Portes); "Qualitative Postmodernism and the Nature of Teaching and Learning" (Gary Shank); "Instructional Prescriptions Can Be Hazardous to Your Pedagogy!" (Donald J. Cunningham, Bruce Allen Knight, and Kathy K. Watson); "Toward a Mutual Interplay…

Birner, Betty, Ed. – 1999
This brochure discusses, in lay terms, the degree to which language shapes thought. The first section describes briefly the questions that linguists have addressed in studying this issue, including how things such as location or time may be conceptualized differently in different language groups, offering examples from other languages in addition…

Lueers, Nancy M. – 1982
The dichotomy of language acquisition versus language learning is critically examined by comparing the concepts presented in Krashen's Monitor Model and Stevick's Levertov Machine to information from the field of neurophysiology regarding the brain's processes. It is proposed that support exists for the theory that two very different processes…

Weigl, E. – Linguistics, 1975
Deals with the problem of transcoding, that is, when in switching from one sign system to another relations must be created between corresponding structures in the different systems. The mechanisms of transcoding are examined for spoken and written speech, numeral words and figures, and tone symbols and musical notes. (SCC)
