Dahan, D. (2010). The Time Course of Interpretation in Speech Comprehension. Current Directions in
Psychological Science, 19(2), 121-126.
Abstract
Determining how language comprehension proceeds over time has been central to theories of human language use. Early research on the comprehension of speech in real time put special emphasis on the sequential property of speech, by assuming that the interpretation of what is said proceeds at the same rate that information in the speech signal reaches the senses. The picture that is emerging from recent work suggests a more complex process, one in which information from speech has an immediate influence while enabling later-arriving information to modulate initial hypotheses. “Right-context” effects, in which the later portion of a spoken stimulus can affect the interpretation of an earlier portion, are pervasive and can span several syllables or words. Thus, the interpretation of a segment of speech appears to result from the accumulation of information and integration of linguistic constraints over a larger temporal window than the duration of the speech segment itself. This helps explain how human listeners can understand language so efficiently, despite massive perceptual uncertainty in the speech signal.

iPost: Processing speed (Gs/Gt as per CHC theory) and children with CP
Inspection time and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms in children with cerebral palsy.
By Shank, Laura K.; Kaufman, Jacqueline; Leffard, Stacie; Warschausky, Seth
Rehabilitation Psychology, Vol 55(2), May 2010, 188-193.
Abstract
Objective: To examine between-groups differences in the associations between aspects of processing speed assessed with an inspection time task and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Research Design: Two groups comprising 34 children with cerebral palsy (CP) and 70 nonaffected peers (control), ages 8–16 years, participated in a prospective correlational study. Measures included a visual inspection time task and the Conners' Parent Rating Scale—Revised: Long Version. Results: Children with CP exhibited significantly slower processing speed and more symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity than controls. Significant associations between inspection time and ADHD symptoms were found only in the control group. Conclusions: Findings have implications for clinical assessment and understanding of attentional risks associated with CP. (PsycINFO Database Record
iPost: Basal ganglia and dopamine strike again
The basal ganglia and dopamine have repeatedly been implicated in the IQ brain clock, and frequently with regard to coordination in cognitive behaviors and motor control in movement disorders (Huntingtons; Parkinsons). Here is yet another article along these lines
Conditional routing of information to the cortex: A model of the basal ganglia's role in cognitive coordination.
By Stocco, Andrea; Lebiere, Christian; Anderson, John R.
Psychological Review, Vol 117(2), Apr 2010, 541-574.
Abstract
The basal ganglia play a central role in cognition and are involved in such general functions as action selection and reinforcement learning. Here, we present a model exploring the hypothesis that the basal ganglia implement a conditional information-routing system. The system directs the transmission of cortical signals between pairs of regions by manipulating separately the selection of sources and destinations of information transfers. We suggest that such a mechanism provides an account for several cognitive functions of the basal ganglia. The model also incorporates a possible mechanism by which subsequent transfers of information control the release of dopamine. This signal is used to produce novel stimulus–response associations by internalizing transferred cortical representations in the striatum. We discuss how the model is related to production systems and cognitive architectures. A series of simulations is presented to illustrate how the model can perform simple stimulus–response tasks, develop automatic behaviors, and provide an account of impairments in Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases.
