Event-related potentials to tones show differences between children with multiple risk factors for dyslexia and control children before the onset of …
2015
Multiple risk factors can affect the development of specific reading problems or dyslexia. In addition to the most prevalent and studied risk factor, phonological processing, also auditory discrimination problems have been found in children and adults with reading difficulties. The present study examined 37 children between the ages of 5 and 6, 11 of which had multiple risk factors for developing reading problems. The children participated in a passive oddball EEG experiment with sinusoidal sounds with changes in sound frequency, duration, or intensity. The responses to the standard stimuli showed a negative voltage shift in children at risk for reading problems compared to control children…
Phoneme processing skills are reflected in children's MMN responses.
2017
Phonological awareness (PA), the core contributor in phoneme processing abilities, has a link to later reading skills in children. However, the associations between PA and neural auditory discrimination are not clear. We used event-related potential (ERP) methodology and neuropsychological testing to monitor the neurocognitive basis of phonological awareness in typically developing children. We measured 5–6-year-old children's (N=70) phoneme processing, word completion and perceptual reasoning skills and compared their test results to their brain responses to phonemic changes, separately for each test. We found that children performing better in Phoneme processing test showed larger mismatc…
Electrophysiological evidence of memory-based detection of auditory regularity violations in anesthetized mice
2017
In humans, automatic change detection is reflected by an electrical brain response called mismatch negativity (MMN). Mismatch response is also elicited in mice, but it is unclear to what extent it is functionally similar to human MMN. We investigated this possible similarity by recording local field potentials from the auditory cortex of anesthetized mice. First, we tested whether the response to stimulus changes reflected the detection of regularity violations or adaptation to standard stimuli. Responses obtained from an oddball condition, where occasional changes in frequency were presented amongst of a standard sound, were compared to responses obtained from a control condition, where no…
"Intellectually exhausted and increasingly desperate" versus "flat-out false and reeks of desperation" : how the blogs of the candidates in the Ameri…
2015
Negatiivinen kampanjointi on arkipäivää kaikissa vaaleissa Yhdysvalloissa ja se on kuulunut siellä jo pitkään kampanjointiperinteisiin. Negatiivisesta kampanjoinnista on tehty paljon tutkimusta, mutta näkökulma on usein liittynyt esimerkiksi television tai internetin vaalimainontaan, siihen, miten negatiivisuus vaikuttaa äänestäjiin ja äänestysaktiivisuuteen tai mikä on negatiivisuuden kohteena. Vähemmän on tutkittu lähivuosina yleistyneiden blogien käyttöä kampanjoinnissa ja erityisesti negatiivisen kampanjoinnin välineenä. Tämä tutkimus tarkastelee sitä, kuinka Yhdysvaltain vuoden 2012 presidentinvaaliehdokkaiden, Barack Obaman ja Mitt Romneyn, kampanjablogit yrittivät luoda negatiivista …
Brain responses to speech sounds in infants and children with and without familial risk for dyslexia
2015
Dyslexia, a specific reading disability, runs in families. Therefore, the risk for a child to become dyslexic increases multifold if reading difficulties occur in the family. One risk factor for dyslexia is a deficit in speech perception. Using EEG, speech sound discrimination was found to be more demanding than non- speech discrimination in typical readers in Study I. In Study II, in children with dyslexia in 3rd grade, enhanced brain responses were observed and found to be associated with better performance in reading accuracy, spelling accuracy and phonemic length discrimination tasks. The brain responses of the most accurate readers in the dyslexia group originated from a more posterior…
Negatiiviset asiakaskokemukset ja diplomatia
2018
Tässä artikkelissa kerrotaan, kuinka negatiivisten sidosryhmien edustajat verkossa eritellään toisistaan ja milloin organisaation tulisi osallistua negatiivisiin asiakaskokemuksiin liittyviin keskusteluihin digitaalisissa ympäristöissä. Lisäksi tarkastellaan miten niin sanottu kuuntelemisen arkkitehtuuri hyödyttää organisaatioita negatiivisen viestinnän yhteydessä. Kappaleen lopussa annetaan myös viisi diplomatiaan pohjautuvaa neuvoa negatiivisen viestinnän kohtaamiseen. peerReviewed
Auditiivisen prosessoinnin taidot ja niiden yksilöllisyys käyttäytymis- ja jännitevastetasolla kielellisessä erityisvaikeudessa
2014
Tässä Pro gradu –tutkielmassa tarkastellaan 4–7-vuotiaiden kielellisen erityisvaikeuden diagnoosin saaneiden lasten ja heidän tyypillisesti kehittyneiden ikätovereidensa auditiivisen prosessoinnin taitoja. Tutkielman tavoitteena on yhdistää tietoa käyttäytymis- ja jännitevastetason muuttujista. Lisäksi tarkastellaan koehenkilöiden yksilöllisiä profiileja auditiivisen prosessoinnin taidoissa. Tutkielma on osa Oulun yliopiston, Oulun yliopistollisen sairaalan neurokognitiivisen yksikön ja Jyväskylän yliopiston psykologian laitoksen vuosina 2005-2010 toteutettua yhteistyöprojektia, jossa tutkittiin kielihäiriöisten lasten kuullun prosessointia ja sen kuntoutuvuutta. Tässä työssä analysoidaan e…
On the dark side of lifestyle blogging : the case of negative anonyms
2018
The social reciprocity between bloggers and their readers included in lifestyle blogs is inspired by casual exchange of information, opinions, and emotional support. Despite the obvious positive connotations, the world of lifestyle blogging also has a darker side to it. A negative anonym is recognized by bloggers as a reader who comments behind a pseudonym and distributes critical or abusive comments targeted against bloggers’ physical appearance, personality, life choices, or commercial collaborations. Bloggers are often regarded as influencers of social media. In this study, however, the perspective is reversed as I explore some of the ways bloggers are influenced by their readers. peerRe…
“I hate this part right here”: Embodied, subjective experiences of listening to aversive music
2021
Although the majority of previous research on music-induced responses has focused on pleasurable experiences and preferences, it is undeniable that music is capable of eliciting strong dislike and aversion as well. To date, only limited research has been carried out to understand the subjective experience of listening to aversive music. This qualitative study explored people’s negative experiences associated with music listening, with the aim to understand what kinds of emotions, affective states, and physical responses are associated with listening to aversive music. One hundred and two participants provided free descriptions of (1) musical features of aversive music; (2) subjective physi…
