Does the Experimenter Presence Affect Verbal Working Memory?

Recent studies showed that the presence of the experimenter hinders executive functions. Belletier and Camos (2018) extended these findings to working memory, reporting a detrimental effect of the experimenter presence only when participants performed an aloud concurrent articulation during maintenance. Under such a condition, participants likely relied on an attentional maintenance mechanism rather that an articulatory mechanism, supporting the account of a capture of attention by the social presence.

Identification of brazilein type B as a key marker for the presence of brazilwood in colored historical objects.

The identification of brazilwood in historical artefacts is challenging and strongly relates to the chosen extraction method. When strong acid hydrolysis is used, redwood's primary dyeing component, brazilein, is never found, but instead leads to the identification of two related marker compounds. Commonly referred to as type B and type C compounds, they are characterized by specific UV and mass spectra.

Policies and guidelines supporting the sustainability of human milk donation to milk banks in Switzerland: a document analysis.

Background: Donor milk from a human milk bank is recommended for vulnerable infants when the mother’s own milk is scarce. Globally, despite an increasing number of human milk banks, the demand for donor milk exceeds the supply, and access remains inequitable and insufficient. The objective of this document analysis was to investigate how global (universal), European, and national policies and guidelines support the sustainability of human milk donation in Switzerland.

Difficulties in Nonadjacent Dependency Learning in French-Learning Toddlers.

Purpose: In the past three decades, statistical learning, that is, the capacity to detect patterns and regularities in the environment, has been shown to have an important role in language development. In particular, the ability to detect nonadjacent dependencies (NADs) between linguistic elements that are separated by intervening material seems to be linked to morphosyntactic development. However, there are few studies with French-speaking children, and none using artificial language learning methodologies.

Evolving infectious disease dynamics shape school-based intervention effectiveness.

School-based interventions during epidemics are often controversial, as experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, where reducing transmission had to be weighed against the adverse effects on young children. However, it remains unclear how the broader epidemiologic context influences the effectiveness of these interventions and when they should be implemented. Through integrated modeling of epidemiological and genetic data from a longitudinal school-based surveillance study of SARS-CoV-2 in 2021-2022 (N children = 336, N adults = 51) and scenario simulations, we show how transmission dynamics in schools changed markedly due to strong increases in community-acquired infections in successive periods of viral variants, ultimately undermining the potential impact of school-based interventions in reducing infection rates in the school-aged population.
