Depression is a significant problem for ethnic minorities that remains understudied partly due to a lack of strong measures with established psychometric properties.

Data from four major hospitals in Korea were converted to Markdown and organized in JSON for efficient use. Evaluation metrics ensured consistency and reliability. The corpus serves as…

In learning language, children must discover how to interpret the linguistic significance of phonetic variation. On some accounts, receptive phonology is grounded in perceptual learning of phonetic categories from phonetic distributions drawn over the infant's sample of speech. On other accounts, receptive phonology is…

English has a word-minimality requirement that all open-class lexical items must contain at least two moras of structure, forming a bimoraic foot (Hayes, 1995).Thus, a word with either a long vowel, or a short vowel and a coda consonant, satisfies this requirement. This raises the question of when and how young childre…

Dutch-English bilinguals were auditorily presented with English (L2) sentences while looking at a visual world. The sentences contained interlingual homophones from distinct lexical categories…

What processes best explain women's underrepresentation in science, math, and engineering fields in the U.S.? Do they also explain men's underrepresentation in the humanities? Two survey studies across two U.S. West Coast universities (N = 62; N = 614) addressed these questions in the contex…

The implications of the presence of case information included in English surgical treatises published from 1660 to 1700 are discussed. While such casework has been frequently examined and cited, the phenomenon of including case information in treatises has yet to be studied in any depth. The context, presentation and o…

This study examined whether skilled deaf readers sustain a more complete memory trace of English function words and inflections compared to average deaf readers and whether this is related to processing that has a phonological component. The superior accuracy of skilled readers on a verbatim recall task indicated that…
