Hi John! I am still tired from the dancing in Goettingen, and I am still in contact with the student therapists.. ;-) OK lets get serious. My explanation just shows that it is (at least theoretically) possible to explain the effects without reference to pyschological factors and learned behaviour. But in reality they must be added on top and are part of the game like the anticipatory stress of difficult words. So only thinking about the message might well help those who experience great stress. It might be that PWS have developed a too critical monitor function, but couldnt this also be because the brain had to adapt to a sloppy speech system. And how does this relate to the latest brain imaging results?
