Flexible fast-mapping: Deaf children dynamically allocate visual attention to learn novel words in American Sign Language.

Developmental science

Lieberman AM, Fitch A, Borovsky A.
PMID: 34355837
Dev Sci. 2021 Aug 06;e13166. doi: 10.1111/desc.13166. Epub 2021 Aug 06.

Word learning in young children requires coordinated attention between language input and the referent object. Current accounts of word learning are based on spoken language, where the association between language and objects occurs through simultaneous and multimodal perception. In...

Lexical Recognition in Deaf Children Learning American Sign Language: Activation of Semantic and Phonological Features of Signs.

Language learning

Lieberman AM, Borovsky A.
PMID: 33510545
Lang Learn. 2020 Dec;70(4):935-973. doi: 10.1111/lang.12409. Epub 2020 Jun 03.

Children learning language efficiently process single words, and activate semantic, phonological, and other features of words during recognition. We investigated lexical recognition in deaf children acquiring American Sign Language (ASL) to determine how perceiving language in the visual-spatial modality...

The 25 mA continuous-wave surface-plasma source of H(-) ions.

The Review of scientific instruments

Belchenko Y, Gorbovsky A, Sanin A, Savkin V.
PMID: 24593548
Rev Sci Instrum. 2014 Feb;85(2):02B108. doi: 10.1063/1.4828373.

The ion source with the Penning geometry of electrodes producing continuous-wave beam of H(-) ions with current up to 25 mA was developed. Several improvements were introduced to increase source intensity, reliability, and lifetime. The collar around the emission...

Toddlers' Ability to Leverage Statistical Information to Support Word Learning.

Frontiers in psychology

Ellis EM, Borovsky A, Elman JL, Evans JL.
PMID: 33897523
Front Psychol. 2021 Apr 09;12:600694. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.600694. eCollection 2021.

PURPOSE: This study investigated whether the ability to utilize statistical regularities from fluent speech and map potential words to meaning at 18-months predicts vocabulary at 18- and again at 24-months.METHOD: Eighteen-month-olds (RESULTS: Ability to learn the object-label pairing for...

Real-time interpretation of novel events across childhood.

Journal of memory and language

Borovsky A, Sweeney K, Elman JL, Fernald A.
PMID: 24976677
J Mem Lang. 2014 May 01;73:1-14. doi: 10.1016/j.jml.2014.02.001.

Despite extensive evidence that adults and children rapidly integrate world knowledge to generate expectancies for upcoming language, little work has explored how this knowledge is initially acquired and used. We explore this question in 3- to 10-year-old children and...

Perceptual Connectivity Influences Toddlers' Attention to Known Objects and Subsequent Label Processing.

Brain sciences

Peters RE, Kueser JB, Borovsky A.
PMID: 33513707
Brain Sci. 2021 Jan 27;11(2). doi: 10.3390/brainsci11020163.

While recent research suggests that toddlers tend to learn word meanings with many "perceptual" features that are accessible to the toddler's sensory perception, it is not clear whether and how building a lexicon with perceptual connectivity supports attention to...

Anti-Uz found in mother's serum and child's eluate.

Immunohematology

Read SM, Taylor MM, Reid ME, Popovsky MA.
PMID: 15946087
Immunohematology. 1993;9(2):47-9.

A saline-reactive antibody, anti-Uz, that reacted stronger with S+ than with S- red blood cells (RBCs) and failed to react with U- or ficin-treated RBCs has been previously reported. We describe an antibody of similar specificity in the postpartum...

Long-term impact of recombinant human erythropoietin on transfusion support in patients with chronic renal failure.

Immunohematology

Popovsky MA, Ransil BJ.
PMID: 15387752
Immunohematology. 1996;12(1):1-3.

Published reports on the impact of recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEpo) on transfusion requirements of patients with chronic renal failure have been limited to small populations and relatively brief follow-up. In this study we reviewed the effects of this drug...

Further characterization of transfusion-related acute lung injury: demographics, clinical and laboratory features, and morbidity.

Immunohematology

Popovsky MA, Haley NR.
PMID: 15373608
Immunohematology. 2000;16(4):157-9.

According to Food and Drug Administration data, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is the third most frequent cause of transfusion-associated death in the United States and is characterized by an acute respiratory distress syndrome-like clinical picture following transfusion of...

STUDIES ON NUCLEAR STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION IN TETRAHYMENA PYRIFORMIS: I. RNA Synthesis in Macro- and Micronuclei.

The Journal of cell biology

Gorovsky MA, Woodard J.
PMID: 19866732
J Cell Biol. 1969 Sep 01;42(3):673-82. doi: 10.1083/jcb.42.3.673.

Tetrahymena in the log phase of growth were pulse labeled with uridine-(3)H, fixed in acetic-alcohol, extracted with DNase, and embedded in Epon. 0.5-micro sections were cut, coated with Kodak NTB-2 emulsion, and developed after suitable exposures. Grains were counted...

Cytochemical studies on the problem of macronuclear subnuclei in tetrahymena.

Genetics

Woodard J, Kaneshiro E, Gorovsky MA.
PMID: 17248560
Genetics. 1972 Feb;70(2):251-60. doi: 10.1093/genetics/70.2.251.

DNA amounts in macronuclei and micronuclei of Tetrahymena pyriformis were measured by Feulgen microspectrophotometry. Assuming that the unreplicated micronucleus is diploid, the unreplicated macronucleus was found to contain approximately 45 times the haploid DNA amount. The relationship of these...

Once is Enough: N400 Indexes Semantic Integration of Novel Word Meanings from a Single Exposure in Context.

Language learning and development : the official journal of the Society for Language Development

Borovsky A, Elman JL, Kutas M.
PMID: 23125559
Lang Learn Dev. 2012 Jul;8(3):278-302. doi: 10.1080/15475441.2011.614893. Epub 2012 May 18.

We investigated the impact of contextual constraint on the integration of novel word meanings into semantic memory. Adults read strongly or weakly constraining sentences ending in known or unknown (novel) words as scalp-recorded electrical brain activity was recorded. Word...
