The Relationships between Parental Locus of Control and Domestically Adopted Children’s Emotional and Behavioral Adjustment
Considering their experiences, adoptees may encounter more difficulties than their non-adopted peers, with post-adoption adjustment varying considerably depending on their age at adoption. This study uniquely examined parental locus of control (PLC) in parents of 224 domestically adopted children, its associations with children’s emotional and behavioral adjustment, and whether age-at-adoption moderated these relationships. Multiple regressions i…
Possible Coevolution of Vampire Bats (Chiroptera
Vampire bats likely first appeared in South America in the early Miocene (~20 Ma) and evolved to feed upon the blood of native South American mammals of medium to large body size, in particular, xenarthrans–ground sloths, armadillos, pampatheres, and glyptodonts, and native ungulates–notoungulates and litopterns. Following the formation of the Panamanian Isthmus (~5 Ma), vampire bats immigrated into North America as participants in the Great Amer…
Relationships between executive functions and morphosyntactic skills in Spanish-speaking children with and without developmental language disorder
Language and executive function relationships in the real world
Executive functions (EFs) in both regulatory and meta-cognitive contexts are important for a wide variety of children’s daily activities, including play and learning. Despite the growing literature supporting the relationship between EF and language, few studies have focused on these links during everyday behaviours. Data were collected on 208 children from 6 to 12 years old of whom 89 were deaf children (55% female; M = 8;8; SD = 1;9) and 119 we…
Testing the bilingual advantage for executive function
Bimodal bilingualism involves the use of a sign language and a spoken language, and offers a unique opportunity to explore the cognitive effects of growing up bilingual. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between bimodal bilingualism and executive function (EF) in hearing children who are native users of a sign language. We studied three groups of children: bimodal bilinguals (users of a sign language and a spoken language)…

Constructions of “female autism” in professional practices
The rapid rise of literature concerned with “female autism” warrants critical analysis due to its implications for women and girls and understandings of neurodiversity. We sought to explore these implications, as well as broader institutional and ideological ramifications, through examining how female autism is constructed in professional practices. A Foucauldian discourse analysis was undertaken of descriptions of female autism in reports and re…
The Power Threat Meaning Framework and the Climate and Ecological Crises
Climate change poses an existential threat to today’s and future generations. Within this context, important debates are taking place about the risk of individualising and de-contextualising both climate-related distress and denial. Seeking to re-centre context and power, we tentatively share our thoughts on how the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF) might provide a useful lens to understand different responses to climate change. The paper dra…
The intersection of autism and gender in the negotiation of identity
Influenced by theories of intersectionality, performativity and gender hegemony, this review sought to explore the intersection of autism and gender in qualitative research into autistic identity. Twelve papers were subjected to a thematic metasynthesis following a systematic search. Study participants were predominantly cisgender female or gender-diverse: perspectives of cisgender autistic males were lacking. The three superordinate themes devel…

How are signed languages learned as second languages
This review addresses the question: How are signed languages learned by adult hearing learners? While there has been much research on second language learners of spoken languages, there has been far less work in signed languages. Comparing sign and spoken second language acquisition allows us to investigate whether learning patterns are general (across the visual and oral modalities) or specific (in only one of the modalities), and hence furthers…
Understanding of Pretend Emotions in Children Who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) and born to hearing parents have delays in their social-cognitive development and in particular in their Theory of Mind (ToM).These delays are often attributed to the difficulties they encounter in acquiring age-appropriate linguistic and communicative skills.The present study asks whether this developmental delay extends to problems with understanding pretend emotions and if linguistic difficulties…
Executive Function Training for Deaf Children
Several studies have reported poor executive function (EF) development in deaf children with subsequent impacts on their social and academic attainment. This paper describes the results of a music-based EF intervention designed for deaf children and carried out in two sets of primary schools. This is the first classroom-based EF training study with deaf children, and it also incorporates a replication phase. The intervention was a within-subject …
If Only I Could Have Said, If Only Somebody Was Listening’
Birthparents remain the most neglected focus of the adoptive triad in terms of practice, research and policy. Previous research has highlighted how the needs of parents who have their children removed are often unmet by services. This research explored the experiences of mothers, with trauma histories, who had made or agreed with the decision for their child to be placed into care. Three British mothers of children in care each participated in tw…

Expressive Vocabulary Predicts Nonverbal Executive Function
Numerous studies suggest an association between language and executive function (EF), but evidence of a developmental relationship remains inconclusive. Data were collected from 75 deaf/hard-of-hearing (DHH) children and 82 hearing age-matched controls. Children were 6–11 years old at first time of testing and completed a battery of nonverbal EF tasks and a test of expressive vocabulary. These tasks were completed again 2 years later. Both groups…
“El nen s'ha menjat una aranya”
The production of a well-constructed narrative is the culmination of several years of language acquisition and is an important milestone in children's development. There is no current description of narrative development for Catalan speaking children. This study collected elicited narratives in Catalan from 118 children aged 4;0–10;11. Narratives were scored for macrostructure and microstructure. Narrative scores improved with age with maximum pe…

The challenges of viewpoint-taking when learning a sign language
Little is known about how hearing adults learn sign languages. Our objective in this study was to investigate how learners of British Sign Language (BSL) produce narratives, and we focused in particular on viewpoint-taking. Twenty-three intermediate-level learners of BSL and 10 deaf native/early signers produced a narrative in BSL using the wordless picture book Frog, where are you? (Mayer, 1969). We selected specific episodes from part of the bo…

Action Learning
This paper develops the concept of action learning in terms of holographic principles. It offers an approach to inquiry, learning, and organizational design in terms of minimum critical conditions which seek to enhance capacities for individual and collective self-organization
The Schismatic Metaphor and Its Implications for Organizational Analysis
This article investigates the possibility of studying organizations upon the basis of a schismatic metaphor, which presumes that there is a fundamental tendency within organizations towards disintegration as a result of endogenously generated change. The metaphor specifically sets out to provide an alternative to the traditional mechanical and organismic metaphors, which assume that social systems are functionally unified and essentially stable, …
Exploring the relationship between postmigratory stressors and mental health for asylum seekers and refused asylum seekers in the UK
Numerous studies have linked the high rates of traumatic events experienced by refugees to the elevated rate of mental health problems in these populations. A growing body of evidence has also highlighted the importance of considering postmigratory stressors when making sense of displaced person distress. This study explored the relationship between mental health and postmigratory stress for asylum seekers and refused asylum seekers in Britain. T…
The Acquisition of Sign Language
Research into the effect of phonetic complexity on phonological acquisition has a long history in spoken languages. This paper considers the effect of phonetics on phonological development in a signed language. We report on an experiment in which nonword-repetition methodology was adapted so as to examine in a systematic way how phonetic complexity in two phonological parameters of signed languages - handshape and movement - affects the perceptio…
Cybernetics and Organization Theory
Based on the view that theorizing is metaphorical, this paper examines the impact of cybernetic imagery on the study of organizations. Imagery treating organizations as "black boxes," "thermostats," "decision-makers," "morphogenic systems," "learning systems," and the concept of "organizational ecology" is explored. Developing the distinction between "cybernetics as technique" and "cybernetics as epistemology, " it is suggested that organization …
Phonological Development in Hearing Learners of a Sign Language
The present study implemented a sign-repetition task at two points in time to hearing adult learners of British Sign Language and explored how each phonological parameter, sign complexity, and iconicity affected sign production over an 11-week (22-hour) instructional period. The results show that training improves articulation accuracy and that some sign components are produced more accurately than others: Handshape was the most difficult, follow…

Opportunities Arising from Paradigm Diversity
This article spells out the potential contributions to organizational research stemming from different research paradigms. The aim is to help move debate about paradigms beyond recognition that different perspectives exist, to a stage at which we can harness the possibilities they have to offer. The article identifies and counter poses specific insights of different paradigms and examines the institutional constraints that must be modified if the…
Rethinking Corporate Strategy
This paper offers a view of corporate strategy guided by the insights of cybernetics. The approach challenges the conventional wisdom of rational planning and instrumental control which stresses the importance of goal-oriented adaption of organization to environment. In its place an alternative strategy of systemic wisdom is developed. This is based on: (a) an understanding of contexts; (b) an orientation of action away from noxiants; (c) finding…

Taphonomic Analysis of the Mammalian Fauna from Sandia Cave, New Mexico, and the 'Sandia Man' Controversy
Sandia Cave in New Mexico was excavated in the late 1930s by Frank Hibben, who described a unique type of chipped stone artifact-the 'Sandia point'-in association with a faunal assemblage that included extinct Pleistocene species. The site was interpreted as a late Pleistocene Paleoindian hunting station, making it the earliest human occupation known in America at the time. Despite the pivotal role the faunal assemblage has played in interpretati…

Commentary
This article focuses on the interplay between metaphor and metonymy in the construction of organization theory. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between the use of metaphor as a way of thinking and a way of being, and the specific metaphors that are produced through this process. It suggests that too much emphasis is often placed on metaphors as abstracted epistemological constructs rather than on understanding the m…
Lexical-Semantic Organization in Bilingually Developing Deaf Children With ASL-Dominant Language Exposure
This study compared the lexical-semantic organization skills of bilingually developing deaf children in American Sign Language (ASL) and English with those of a monolingual hearing group. A repeated meaning-association paradigm was used to assess retrieval of semantic relations in deaf 6-10-year-olds exposed to ASL from birth by their deaf parents, with responses coded as syntagmatic or paradigmatic. Deaf children's responses in ASL and English w…
Input processing at first exposure to a sign language
There is growing interest in learners’ cognitive capacities to process a second language (L2) at first exposure to the target language. Evidence suggests that L2 learners are capable of processing novel words by exploiting phonological information from their first language (L1). Hearing adult learners of a sign language, however, cannot fall back on their L1 to process novel signs because the modality differences between speech (aural–oral) and s…

Butz Triads
ON the first of October, 1976, the American public, already numb from an extended presidential election campaign, was shocked and thrilled by the revelation that a high officer of President Ford's cabinet had uttered an obscenely scabrous 'joke' against blacks. The news media outdid themselves in shocked euphemism: and within a few days Mr. Earl Butz, Secretary of Agriculture, was forced to resign his post and withdraw from public life. For all t…

Mummers and Momoeri
THREE British scholars travelling in Northern Greece in the first decade of this century, (R.M. Dawkins, J.C. Lawson, and A.J.B. Wace), revealed the survival there of primitive dramatic rituals with striking similarities to English mummers' plays.' Writing in 1933, E.K. Chambers recognised that the Greek plays were the 'closest congeners' of the English ones,2 and more recently their similarity was also stressed by Alex Helm.3 This in itself pres…

Iconic gesture and speech integration in younger and older adults
This study investigated the impact of age on iconic gesture and speech integration. The performance of a group of older adults (60–76 years) and a group of younger adults (22–30 years) were compared on a task which required the comprehension of information presented in 3 different conditions: verbal only, gesture only, and verbal and gesture combined. The older adults in the study did not benefit as much from multi-modal input as the younger adul…
Language against the odds
In this paper we report on our attempt to teach the polyglot savant Christopher (‘C’ hereinafter) British Sign Language (BSL). BSL presents C with a novel challenge in the use of hand-eye coordination, while at the same time offering him the linguistic ingredients he is obsessed with. Despite his deficits in key areas of intellectual ability, communication skills and visuo-spatial cognition, C has developed a working knowledge of BSL through proc…
The Laments of Mani
THE landscape of Mani and the character of its inhabitants have been described many times. From the seventeenth century onwards, Western travellers have expressed their amazement at this embattled headland of the Balkans, and the ferocity of the Maniotes has excited all degrees of astonishment. They have been admired for their pride, patriotism, and independence; and castigated for a range of vices that goes from morosity to cannibalism. More sch…

Rhyme in Prose Narrative
A LONG-ENGRAINED reluctance to mix numbers with literature will be shared, I am sure, by most readers. Yet I must yield. The intention of this paper is to show how a very little, very simple arithmetic can rebut an intuitive perception of style: in particular, how the identification of rhyme in prose narrative may be a dangerous adventure if it is not tempered with a minimum of mathematics. In a recent study of the oral cante-fable among the Tong…

Geochronology of a Rich Early Pleistocene Vertebrate Fauna, Leisey Shell Pit, Tampa Bay, Florida
Leisey Shell Pit, on the southeastern edge of Tampa Bay, has produced the largest early Pleistocene vertebrate fauna in North America, consisting of about 30,000 cataloged specimens. The predominantly terrestrial and freshwater vertebrate fauna was transported into an estuarine environment during a regressive phase in an otherwise marine, bay-bottom sequence of sandy shell beds. The biochronological age of the Leisey Shell Pit local fauna is late…

The Mummers of Pontus
AFTER the abortive Greek invasion of Turkey in 1921 and the complete rout of the Greek army in the following year, there was a peace settlement that involved a massive and compulsory exchange of populations. Moslems in Greece were sent to Turkey; Christians in Turkey were sent to Greece. In the years 1923 and 1924 about 1,400,000 Greeks were forcibly uprooted from Asia Minor and settled in Greece. The Greek community in Istanbul was excluded from…

Discourse cohesion in sign and speech
This paper describes the development of discourse cohesion in bilingual children, through an analysis of narrative discourses produced by hearing children of deaf parents(HCDP) in both British Sign Language(BSL) and spoken English. Reference mechanisms in both languages are described in the context of recent work on narrative and discourse organization development in spoken and sign language. Discourse cohesion is achieved in each language throug…
The development of complex verb constructions in British Sign Language
This study focuses on the mapping of events onto verb-argument structures in British Sign Language (BSL). The development of complex sentences in BSL is described in a group of 30 children, aged 3;2–12;0, using data from comprehension measures and elicited sentence production. The findings support two interpretations: firstly, in the mapping of concepts onto language, children acquiring BSL overgeneralize the use of argument structure related to …
