Taste Buds and Receptors01:20

Taste Buds and Receptors

5.6K
Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Teeth01:15

Teeth

2.2K
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Deglutition01:25

Deglutition

7.7K
Swallowing, otherwise known as deglutition, facilitates the transport of food from the mouth to the stomach. It is a multifaceted process that involves both the tongue and the muscles of the throat and esophagus. Saliva and mucus aid in this process, which takes approximately 4 to 8 seconds for semi-solid or solid food and around 1 second for liquids or very soft food.
Swallowing can be divided into three stages: the voluntary phase, the pharyngeal phase, and the esophageal phase. Although the...

Language Development01:22

Language Development

1.1K
Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Oral

3.9K
The oral stage is the initial phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, occurring from birth to approximately 12 to 18 months. During this period, the infant's mouth serves as the primary source of pleasure, with actions such as sucking, chewing, biting, and drinking playing a crucial role in reducing tension. These activities are essential not only for nourishment but also for the infant's psychological and emotional satisfaction.
Weaning, typically occurring...

Bulimia Nervosa01:30

Bulimia Nervosa

1.1K
Bulimia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by a cyclical pattern of binge-and-purge eating pattern. It generally involves an episode of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, laxative use, or fasting, to prevent weight gain. Despite often maintaining a normal weight, individuals with bulimia are intensely preoccupied with their body image and harbor an overwhelming fear of gaining weight. This can contribute to the...

Summary

Adults who stutter (AWS) show weaker phonemic fluency and executive control compared to adults who do not stutter (AWNS). Their word storage and organization abilities appear intact, suggesting specific challenges in accessing phonological information.

Area of Science:

  • Speech and Language Pathology
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Psycholinguistics

Background:

  • Stuttering (AWS) is a complex disorder affecting speech fluency.
  • Executive functions and lexical access are crucial for fluent speech production.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate lexical access and executive control in adults who stutter (AWS) and adults who do not stutter (AWNS).
  • To identify specific cognitive processes that are challenging for AWS, contributing to their speech difficulties.

Main Methods:

  • Participants completed phonemic and semantic fluency tasks.
  • Performance was analyzed based on accurate responses, clustering, and switching between response categories.

Main Results:

  • AWS produced fewer accurate responses in phonemic fluency compared to AWNS.
  • No significant differences in clustering were observed between AWS and AWNS.
  • AWS exhibited significantly fewer switches than AWNS.

Conclusions:

  • AWS demonstrate weaker phonemic-based lexical access and executive control compared to AWNS.
  • The findings suggest that challenges in accessing phonological information contribute to stuttering.
  • Word storage and organization of semantic information appear unaffected in AWS.
