The simulations also demonstrate how language-specific factors can be used to make predictions about the stable states towards which sound systems converge.
The simulated sound systems evolve towards stable states in adaptive landscapes defined partly by universal pressures (e.g. phonetic biases and contrast maintenance) and partly by language-specific factors (e.g. the relative frequency of specific phonetic environments).
Nevertheless, it is encouraging that our findings are in general consistent with those from English-speaking samples, except where there are good reasons to suppose that language-specific factors may come into play.
To emphasize, measuring activity across a range of levels of task difficulty in patients and in control participants may allow the level of difficulty to be matched, and the effect of cognitive control distinguished from language-specific factors.
Specifically, all ECLiPS factors, but most notably the language-specific factor (L/L/L), correlated with digit span backward.
Second, by comparing our findings with those of past studies on English abilities, the universal or specific factors of language and reading acquisition across languages could be understood.
So, the investigation of the genetic influences on Chinese learning will lead to enhanced understanding of, not only the nature of Chinese acquisition, but also the universal or specific factors of language and reading acquisition across languages.
However no specific factors, other than language, were identified to justify separate breastfeeding interventions specially targeted at Uygur or other minorities in Xinjiang.
Many factors such as language specific characteristics (e.g. special characters, common pre- or postfixes) call for individual pre-processing procedures and hamper the development of a gold standard for pre-processing.
To address those emotions, it seems crucial to examine more specific factors that students are worried about when studying a foreign language.
The second covers specific factors, including housing.
