Evaluation of the Power Up program
Introduction: During the summer holidays, children often demonstrate reduced physical activity and poorer dietary habits, largely attributed to the lack of structured routines and supervision that school provides. Summer camps have the potential to offer youth engaging and organized activities and serve as an environment for promoting healthy lifestyle habits. This paper presents the protocol for the evaluation of the Power Up program, a study wh…
Eating behaviour traits mediate the association between satiety responsiveness and energy intake among individuals with overweight and obesity
Intonational Cues to Segmental Contrasts in the Native Language Facilitate the Processing of Intonational Cues to Lexical Stress in the Second Language
This study examines whether second language (L2) learners' processing of an intonationally cued lexical contrast is facilitated when intonational cues signal a segmental contrast in the native language (L1). It does so by investigating Seoul Korean and French listeners' processing of intonationally cued lexical-stress contrasts in English. Neither Seoul Korean nor French has lexical stress; instead, the two languages have similar intonational sys…
Re-examining the effect of phonological similarity between the native- and second-language intonational systems in second-language speech segmentation
This study investigates how phonological and phonetic aspects of the native-language (L1) intonation modulate the use of tonal cues in second-language (L2) speech segmentation. Previous research suggested that prosodic learning is more difficult if the L1 and L2 intonations are phonologically similar but phonetically different (French–Korean) than if they are phonologically different (English–French/Korean) (Prosodic-Learning Interference Hypothe…
Korean listeners' processing of suprasegmental lexical contrasts in Korean and English
Word Prosody in Second Language Acquisition
The production and perception of a second language (L2) will be affected by any differences between native language (L1) and L2 lexical stress and lexical tone. This chapter first discusses L1 effects on the perception of L2 words that differ in stress, comparing the explanatory power of phonological (stress-parameter-based) and phonetic (cue-based) approaches for L2 learners’ performance in word recognition. Equally, it discusses L1 effects on t…
Satiety responsiveness but not food reward is modified in response to an acute bout of low versus high intensity exercise in healthy adults
Influence of within-category tonal information in the recognition of Mandarin-Chinese words by native and non-native listeners
Syntactic Cues Take Precedence Over Distributional Cues in Native and Non-Native Speech Segmentation
This study investigates whether syntactic cues take precedence over distributional cues in native and non-native speech segmentation by examining native and non-native speech segmentation in potential French-liaison contexts. Native French listeners and English-speaking second-language learners of French completed a visual-world eye-tracking experiment. Half the stimuli contained the pivotal consonant /t/, a frequent word onset but infrequent lia…
English Learners' Use of Segmental and Suprasegmental Cues to Stress in Lexical Access
This study investigated the use of segmental and suprasegmental cues to lexical stress in word recognition by Mandarin-speaking English learners, Korean-speaking English learners, and native English listeners. Unlike English and Mandarin, Korean does not have lexical stress. Participants completed a visual-world eye-tracking experiment that examined whether listeners' word recognition is constrained by suprasegmental cues to stress alone or by a …
Diet quality as measured by the Diet Quality Index–International is associated with prospective changes in body fat among Canadian children
Objective To quantify the association of dietary quality with prospective changes in adiposity. Design Children participating in the QUALITY (QUebec Adipose and Lifestyle InvesTigation in Youth) study underwent examination at baseline and at 2-year follow-up. Dietary quality was assessed by the Diet Quality Index–International (DQII) using three non-consecutive 24 h diet recalls at baseline. The DQII has four main categories: dietary adequacy, va…
Linguistic Proficiency Assessment in Second Language Acquisition Research
This study investigated the elicited imitation task (EIT) as a tool for measuring linguistic proficiency in a second/foreign (L2) language, focusing on French. Nonnative French speakers (n = 94) and native French speakers (n = 6) completed an EIT that included 50 sentences varying in length and complexity. Three raters evaluated productions on five scales: meaning, syntax, morphology, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Participants also completed a c…

Workplace standing time and the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes
Greater occupational standing time is not sufficient in and of itself to prevent the development of OW/OB and IGT/T2D in adults. Future efforts are needed to better understand the potential benefits of higher amounts of standing time throughout the day on the prevention of chronic diseases
Effects of perceptual phonetic training on the perception and production of second language syllable structure
English Listeners’ Use of Distributional and Acoustic-Phonetic Cues to Liaison in French
This study investigates English listeners’ use of distributional and acoustic-phonetic cues to liaison in French. Liaison creates a misalignment of the syllable and word boundaries, but is signaled by distributional cues (/z/ is a frequent liaison but not a frequent word onset; /t/ is a frequent word onset but a less frequent liaison) and acoustic-phonetic cues (liaison consonants are 15 per cent shorter than word-initial consonants). English-spe…

The role of acoustic cues in the development of (non-)target-like second-language prosodic representations
This study investigates the acquisition of English (primary) word stress by native speakers of Canadian French, with focus on the trochaic foot and the alignment of its head with heavy syllables. L2 learners and native English speakers produced disyllabic and trisyllabic nonsense nouns. The participants with consistent stress patterns were grouped according to their prosodic grammar, and their productions were analyzed acoustically. The results i…

On the second language acquisition of Spanish reflexive passives and reflexive impersonals by French- and English-speaking adults
This study, a partial replication of Bruhn de Garavito (1999a; 1999b), investigates the second language (L2) acquisition of Spanish reflexive passives and reflexive impersonals by French- and English-speaking adults at an advanced level of proficiency. The L2 acquisition of Spanish reflexive passives and reflexive impersonals by native French and English speakers instantiates a potential learnability problem, because (1) the constructions are sup…
A method to assess energy expenditure in children and adults
Familial resemblance in fatness indicators
Family resemblance in fatness has been studied in 481 individuals from 114 families of French descent living in the greater Quebec city area. Subjects were measured for the following fatness indicators: triceps, biceps, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal and medial calf skinfolds. The sum of these six skinfolds as well as a prediction of percent body fat (Durnin and Rahaman 1967) were also considered. Data were standardized for appropriate age an…
Submaximal power output in adopted and biological siblings
Submaximal power output was determined in relative steady state on a bicycle ergometer at a heart rate of 150 beats per minute (PWC150). PWC150 was measured in 880 individuals, 9 to 26 years of age, belonging to 46 sibships of adopted sibs, 66 sibships of unrelated individuals including adoptees, 33 sibships of first-degree cousins, 225 sibships of biological sibs, 56 sibships of DZ twins and 54 sibships of MZ twins. PWC150, PWC150/kg of body wei…
Genetic and environmental sources of variation in physical fitness
The technique of path analysis was used to assess inherited and environmental variance components in physical fitness indicators measured in 1630 subjects from 375 families of French descent living in the greater Québec city area. For that purpose, submaximal power output (PWC150/kg), muscular endurance, muscular strength, reaction time and movement time were evaluated during a visit of the family to the laboratory. Inter-class correlations in va…
Cohabitation, activity level, and energy intake in parent‐child resemblance for selected biological traits
Activity level and energy intake were estimated from 3-day records, including a weekend day, in parents and children from families of French descent. Subcutaneous fat from the summation of six skinfolds, fasting serum triglycerides, total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and submaximal power output (PWC 150 ) derived from a cycle ergometer test also were determined in these subjects. Dependent variables were normalized through log 10 or …

Prosodically-conditioned variability in children's production of French determiners
Researchers have long noted that children's grammatical morphemes are variably produced, raising questions about when and how grammatical competence is acquired. This study examined the spontaneous production of determiners by two French-speaking children aged 1 ; 5–2 ; 5. It found that determiners were produced earlier with monosyllabic words, and later with disyllabic and trisyllabic words. This suggests that French-speaking children's early de…
Glycemic Instability and Spontaneous Energy Intake
This study showed that KBW acutely induces an increase in spontaneous energy intake, and promotes an increased fluctuation in plasma glucose and insulin levels. This study contributes to the documentation of a new risk factor for a positive energy balance, with the potential to lead to overweight in the long-term
Adaptive reduction in thermogenesis and resistance to lose fat in obese men
Adaptive thermogenesis is defined as a greater than predicted change in energy expenditure in response to changes in energy balance. This issue is particularly relevant in the context of a weight-reducing programme in which diminished thermogenesis can be sufficient to compensate for a prescribed decrease in daily energy intake. In the present pilot study, we investigated the adaptive reduction in thermogenesis in resting state that appears to fa…
Phonetic variability and the variable perception of L2 word stress by French Canadian listeners
This study investigates development and individual attainment in the perception of word stress by French Canadian second language (L2) learners of English at three proficiency levels (intermediate, low-advanced, high-advanced). It aims to determine whether a perceptual or a processing deficit is responsible for their so-called stress `deafness' (e.g., Dupoux et al., 1997, 2001, 2008). Seventy-five French Canadian L2 learners of English and 31 nat…
