Two aspects of children’s understanding of Gricean maxims were investigated. First, children’s awareness of adherence to the maxims of quality and relation was tested in two separate conditions. Second, children’s use of ...

The present study (1) examined the extent of parent-child congruence in their reports about parenting behaviors, and identified correlates of this congruence, (2) explored the prospective relation between congruence and ...

Purpose: Center-embedded, object-gapped relative clause sentence comprehension is challenging for children as well as adults. Mismatching lexical and grammatical features of subject noun phrases (NP) across the main clause ...

In the U.S. approximately 16% of people are affected by depression in their lifetime and it is estimated that depression will become the leading cause of disability worldwide by 2020 (Monroe & Reid, 2009). In order to ...

Herein we demonstrate the development and application of chiral bis(amidines) as organocatalysts in novel enantioselective transformations. A chiral, Brønsted base-catalyzed asymmetric alkylation of nitroalkanes is described ...

The proton is the smallest Lewis acid and has been utilized in nature by enzymes for catalysis and stereocontrol of a variety of reactions long before chemistry was pursued as the discipline it is today. This precedent ...

High spin states of the neutron-rich $^{104}$Mo nucleus have been reinvestigated by analyzing the $\gamma$-rays in the spontaneous fission of $^{252}$Cf with Gammasphere. Both $\gamma$-$\gamma$-$\gamma$ and $\gamma$-$\ga ...

Chirality permeates through modern science, from the spin of elementary particles to mechanisms underlying biological life processes. The amino acids and sugars from which proteins and nucleic acids are built exhibit ...
