Amid ongoing public speculation about the reasons for sex differences in careers science and mathematics, we present a consensus statement that is based on best available scientific evidence. Sex math achievement ability are smaller mid-range of abilities distribution than they those with highest levels ability. Males more variable most measures quantitative visuospatial ability, which necessarily results males at both high- low-ability extremes; why often remain elusive. Successful require...
Numerous word recognition studies conducted over the past 2 decades are examined.These manipulated lexical familiarity by presenting words of high versus low printed frequency and most reported an interaction between one several second variables, namely, orthographic regularity, semantic concreteness, or polysemy.However, direction these interactions was inconsistent from study to study.Six new experiments clarify discordant results.The first two demonstrate that same not always equally...
For adults, skill at comprehending written language correlates highly with spoken language. Does this general comprehension extend beyond language-based modalities? And if it does, what cognitive processes and mechanisms differentiate individuals who are more versus less proficient in skill? In our first experiment, we found that auditory stories nonverbal, picture stories. This finding supports the hypothesis extends We also support for hypotheses poorer access to recently comprehended...
Autistics are presumed to be characterized by cognitive impairment, and their strengths (e.g., in Block Design performance) frequently interpreted as low-level by-products of high-level deficits, not direct manifestations intelligence. Recent attempts identify the neuroanatomical neurofunctional signature autism have been positioned on this universal, but untested, assumption. We therefore assessed a broad sample 38 autistic children preeminent test fluid intelligence, Raven's Progressive...
We investigated whether the cognitive mechanism of suppression underlies differences in adult comprehension skill. Less skilled comprehenders reject less efficiently inappropriate meanings ambiguous words (e.g., playing card vs. garden tool meaning spade), incorrect forms homophones patients patience), highly typical but absent members scenes a tractor farm scene), and superimposed on pictures or surrounding words. However, are not cognizant what is contextually appropriate; fact, they...
Spoken and gestural communication proficiency varies greatly among autistic individuals. Three studies examined the role of oral- manual-motor skill in predicting children's speech development.Study 1 investigated whether infant toddler skills predict middle childhood teenage fluency; Study 2 verified those early predictions with historical home video; 3 assessed relation between current-day oral-motor their fluency.Infant inter-correlated significantly, distinguished children (N = 115) from...
The claim that autistic people lack a theory of mind-that they fail to understand other have mind or themselves mind-pervades psychology. This article (a) reviews empirical evidence fails support the are uniquely impaired, much less all universally on theory-of-mind tasks; (b) highlights original findings failed replicate; (c) documents multiple instances in which various tasks relate each and account for traits, social interaction, empathy; summarizes large body data, collected by...
We present a consensus-based checklist to improve and document the transparency of research reports in social behavioural research. An accompanying online application allows users complete form generate report that they can submit with their manuscript or post public repository.
During the past decade I have been developing a very simple framework for describing cognitive processes and mechanisms involved in discourse comprehension. call this Structure Building Framework, it is based on evidence provided during first of processing research. According to goal comprehension build coherent mental representations or structures. Comprehenders each structure by laying foundation. develop structures mapping new information when that coheres relates previous information....
Abstract Subjects read stories that described concrete actions, such as a main character stealing money from store where his best friend worked and later learning had been fired. Following each story, subjects target sentence contained an emotion word either matched the emotional state implied by story (e.g. guilt) or mismatched state. In Experiment 1, sentences were more slowly when words perceived opposites of states pride). 2, shared affective valence state; therefore, readers must...
Selective deficits in aphasics patients' grammatical production and comprehension are often cited as evidence that syntactic processing is modular localizable discrete areas of the brain (e.g., Y. Grodzinsky, 2000).The authors review a large body experimental suggesting morphosyntactic can be observed number aphasic neurologically intact populations.They present new data showing receptive agrammatism found not only over range groups, but also individuals under stressful conditions.The...
We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify brain regions involved in the process of mapping coherent discourse onto a developing mental representation. manipulated coherence by presenting sentences with definite articles (which lead more discourse) or indefinite less discourse). Comprehending connected discourse, compared reading unrelated sentences, produced neural activity right than left hemisphere frontal lobe. Thus, lobe is some processes underlying mapping. In...
