Body Language/Linguaggio del Corpo
This site deals with nonverbal behavior and related topics. It is available in three versions (English, Italian, French); has a lot of links and a "library on line" in which more than 200 papers and abstracts on nonverbal behavior are collected.

Center for Research in Language
The Center for Research in Language (CRL) brings together faculty, students and research associates who share an interest in the nature of language, the processes by which it is acquired and used, and the mediation of language in the human brain.

Dyslexic Children Have Abnormal Brain Lactate
Children with dyslexia have difficulty learning to recognize written words due to subtle deficits in oral language related to processing sounds and accessing words automatically. The purpose of this study was to compare regional changes in brain lactate between dyslexic children and control children (age- and IQ-matched children who are good readers, ages 9-12, all right handed boys) during oral language activation.

Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics
The Institute's research topic is psycholinguistics, i.e. the study of mental processes involved in language production, language comprehension and language acquisition, as well as the relation between language, thought, and culture ("cognitive anthropology").

MRC Psycholinguistic Database
This database is designed to be of use to psycholinguists in selecting stimulus materials for testing; for use by researchers in Artificial Intelligence as a source of information required for natural language processing and cognitive simulation; and for use by computer scientists who wish to use the word lists and syntactic information in the design of text processors.

Species and Individual Differences
The responses and behaviors of some animals appear to be very much like our own behaviors. There is a difference in the response elicited and the communication of events that takes place.

The Effects of a Phonologically-Driven Treatment for Dyslexia on Lactate Levels
Dyslexia is a language disorder in which reading ability is compromised due to poor phonological skills. The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of a phonologically-driven treatment for dyslexia on brain lactate response to language stimulation as measured by proton MR spectroscopic imaging.

Vygotsky's Distinction Between Lower and Higher Mental Functions and Recent Studies on Infant Cognitive Development
One of the major theoretical advances of Vygotsky's approach to cognitive development was his thesis that human mental functions were social in origins. Vygotsky introduced a distinction between lower mental functions (LMF's) and higher mental functions (HMF's) (Vygotsky, 1983).
