Standardization of in vitro digestibility and DIAAS method based on the static ...
Egger, Lotti; Sousa, Raquel; Recio, Isidra; Abbühl, Lychou; Brügger, Cédric; Hernández, Marta Santos; Macierzanka, Adam; Szumala, PatrycjaBackground: The FAO recommends the digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS) as the measure for protein quality, for which the true ileal digestibility needs to be assessed in humans or pigs. However, due to high costs and ethical concerns, the FAO strongly encourages as well the development of validated in vitro methods, which complement the in vivo experiments. Method: Recently, an in vitro workflow, ...
Learning words while listening to syllables: electrophysiological correlates of...
Soares, Ana Paula; Gutierrez-Dominguez, Francisco-Javier; Lages, Alexandrina; Oliveira, Helena Mendes; Vasconcelos, Margarida; Jimenez, LuisFrom an early age, exposure to a spoken language has allowed us to implicitly capture the structure underlying the succession of speech sounds in that language and to segment it into meaningful units (words). Statistical learning (SL), the ability to pick up patterns in the sensory environment without intention or reinforcement, is thus assumed to play a central role in the acquisition of the rule-governed aspe...
Surface features can deeply affect artificial grammar learning
Jimenez, Luis; Oliveira, Helena Mendes; Soares, Ana PaulaThree experiments explored the extent to which surface features explain discrimination between grammatical and non-grammatical strings in artificial grammar learning (AGL). Experiment 1 replicated Knowlton and Squire's (1996) paradigm using either letter strings as in the original study, or an analogous set of color strings to further explore if learning was affected by type of stimuli. Learning arose only with...
