The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that neural processes for language are heterogeneous in their adaptations to maturation and experience. This study examined whether the neural processes for open- and closed-class words are differentially affected by delays in second-language immersion. In English, open…

Recent studies have indicated that Spanish-speaking Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients perform more poorly than English-speaking patients on the Digit Span subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R). In the current investigation, the performance of English-speaking and Spanish-speaking Alzheimer'…

The location of brain regions essential for auditory language comprehension is an important consideration in the planning of neurosurgical procedures that involve resections within the dominant temporal lobe. Language testing during intraoperative and extraoperative cortical stimulation has been the primary method for…

In recent years, English as a medium of instruction (EMI) has gained increasing popularity, particularly in non-English-speaking countries. However, research on student satisfaction has not been extensively explored, especially in the Vietnamese context, where English is becoming widespread. Therefore, the study aims t…

This quasi-experimental study implemented a 15-week instructional intervention targeting first-year non-English major college students. The intervention integrated differentiated instruction, multi-source feedback, and a structured three-phase writing instruction, emphasizing offering level-appropriate scaffolding, fac…

The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minorities in the United States, including many with limited English proficiency (LEP).

UNLABELLED: Despite the alarming rise of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs), in preadolescent children over the last two decades, no scales have been developed and validated to assess these troubling tendencies in this population. We describe how we developed English and Spanish language versions of a new scale to…

Despite concerted efforts to improve the reading skills of English language learners (ELLs), it remains unclear if the interventions they have been receiving produce any positive results. Thus, the purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine how effective reading interventions are in improving ELLs' reading skills and…

BACKGROUND: Irresponsible media reporting may influence suicidal behavior. Adherence to guidelines for responsible reporting of suicide has not been examined in Sri Lanka in recent times. AIMS: To examine the quality of reporting on self-harm and suicide in Sri Lankan newspapers and compare the quality between Sinhala…

Limited English proficient (LEP) patients are at risk of disparities in health and health care quality. These disparities can be mitigated by providing care in a language they understand. Undergraduate medical education provides an opportunity to stress that language barriers negatively impact the quality and safety of…

UNLABELLED: The aim of the study was to assess the quality of edible fats consumed by selected students from Kraków, Poland.

PURPOSE: This study examines how using a native versus a foreign language shapes users' perceptions of ChatGPT in terms of linguistic proficiency, cultural fluency, emotional connection, and perceived human likeness. Drawing on Media Equation Theory, the study explores how multilingual contexts influence human-AI inter…

INTRODUCTION: Machine translation of patient-specific information could mitigate language barriers if sufficiently accurate and non-harmful and may be particularly useful in healthcare encounters when professional translators are not readily available. We evaluated the translation accuracy and potential for harm of Cha…
