Many parents have concerns about raising their children with multiple languages. However, there is a paucity of previous research regarding parental concerns about multilingual child-rearing, particularly in multilingual societies. We address this gap with a corpus-assisted discourse study of parental concerns regarding multilingual child-rearing in Quebe ...

Auditory and vibrotactile interactions in perception of timbre acoustic features

Author(s): Chauvette L; Sophie Grenier A; Albouy P; Coffey E; Zatorre R; Sharp A;

Recently, there has been increasing interest in developing auditory-to-vibrotactile sensory devices. However, the potential of these technologies is constrained by our limited understanding of which features of complex sounds can be perceived through vibrations. The present study aimed to investigate the vibrotactile perception of acoustic features relate ...

Parental Language Mixing in Montreal: Rates, Predictors, and Relation to Infants Vocabulary Size

Author(s): Paquette A; Byers-Heinlein K;

Language mixing is a common feature of bilingual communication, yet its predictors and effects on children's vocabulary development remain debated. Most research has been conducted in contexts with clear societal and heritage languages, leaving open questions about language mixing in environments with two societal languages. Montreal provides a unique ...

Body maps of the sensation of musical groove

Author(s): Witek MAG; Matthews TE; Bechtold TA; Penhune V;

Rhythmic music often leads to an urge to move the body in time with the music. This urge to move can be a pleasurable experience. In psychology, we define the pleasurable wanting to move to music as groove. Here, we investigate where in the body these two groove components-movement and pleasure-are felt and whether the embodied sensations depend on the mu ...

Understanding COVID-19 vaccination disparity among Black adults in North America: A two-study motivational approach

Author(s): Fang X; Holding AC; Audet ÉC; Thai H; Koestner R;

Previous research has revealed lower vaccination rates among Black communities relative to other racial-ethnic communities in North America. However, there remains a gap in understanding the motivational barriers contributing to these persistent disparities. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, the current research aimed to examine the effects of differ ...

Auditory Training for Everyday Functioning in Later Life

Author(s): Li KZH; Campos J; Pichora-Fuller MK;

Following from the World Health Organization's consideration of multiple systems (e.g., sensory, motor, and cognitive) in defining healthy aging, this study presents a review of research on training that has the primary goal of improving complex multitasking outcomes that approximate the everyday contexts in which hearing is important, whether or not ...

Exploring Deep Magnetoencephalography via Thalamo-Cortical Sleep Spindles

Author(s): Rattray GF; Jourde HR; Baillet S; Coffey EBJ;

Subcortical brain regions like the thalamus are integral to numerous sensory and cognitive functions. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) enables the study of widespread brain networks with high temporal resolution, but the degree to which deep sources like the thalamus can be resolved remains unclear. Functional connectivity methods may enhance differentiation, ...

Prevalence and characteristics of neuropathic pain in adolescent survivors of childhood cancer

Author(s): Mesaroli G; Olaizola S; Nair A; Nishat F; Pizzo A; Nathan PC; Alberts NM; Stinson JN;

Purpose: Neuropathic pain (NP) in individuals with cancer can arise from the cancer itself or its treatments. The prevalence of NP has been estimated in children living with cancer; however, the prevalence in adolescent survivorship is unknown. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of NP among adolescent survivors of childhood cancer and ...

Neurodiversity, Minority Status, and Mental Health: A Quantitative Study on the Experiences of Culturally Diverse University Students in Canada

Author(s): Bayeh R; Ryder AG;

Background: There is community knowledge shared among autistic and other neurodivergent (ND) communities that ND individuals are more likely to share other non-normative identities, along with research demonstrating that ND individuals have worse mental health outcomes than neurotypicals (NTs). The purpose of this study is to assess how co-occurrence of n ...

Reduction in reward-driven behaviour depends on the basolateral but not central nucleus of the amygdala in female rats

Author(s): Lay BPP; Esber GR; Iordanova MD;

Adaptive behavior depends on a dynamic balance between acquisition and extinction memories. Male and female rodents differ in extinction learning rates, suggestion potential sex-based differences in this balance. In males, deletion of extinction-recruited neurons in the central nucleus (CN) of the amygdala impairs extinction retrieval, shifting behavior t ...
