Published: April 2024

Aim. This study investigates the acquisition of plural morphology by native Jordanian children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The primary objective of the study is to assess children’s capacity to use plural morphology in Jordanian Arabic, aiming to identify the most frequently utilized form of the plural and the reasons behind its prevalence.
Methods. The study involved a sample of 10 male and female children with ASD, averaging twelve years old, from Tawasul Center for Autism in Amman, Jordan. Utilizing twenty representative pictures featuring familiar plural items such as chairs, televisions, and children, the participants were tasked with identifying the depicted elements.
Results. The findings indicated that the children faced challenges in employing plurals in Arabic, with the feminine morpheme being the most consistently used. However, instances of overgeneralization in the use of the feminine morpheme were noted, leading to inaccuracies. Moreover, children avoided plural forms in several cases and resorted to singular forms paired with words that indicate duality or plurality.
Conclusion. The research results indicate that, by the age of 12, individuals with ASD experience challenges in acquiring proficiency in plural forms in Jordanian Arabic. The study underscores the difficulties these individuals encounter in understanding linguistic elements related to plurality within the specific linguistic context. It also demonstrates that comprehending the complexities of how autistic children acquire plural morphemes is not solely an academic interest; it holds practical significance for designing interventions to enhance their language proficiency and improve overall communication skills.

BACKGROUND EEG ACTIVITY MEDIATES ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN BDNF-VAL66MET POLYMORPHISM AND MEMORY DURING AGING
Authors: Volf N. V. , Privodnova E. Yu. 
Published: April 2024

Significant heterogeneity in cognitive aging is explained by the influence of both genetic and environmental factors. BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) is a neurotropic factor involved in the processes of plasticity in the mature brain. Val66Met polymorphism is a functional polymorphism of the BDNF gene, which determines its association with the architectonics and functions of the brain and the efficiency of cognitive functions. The aim of this study was to identify the aging-related features of the relationship between Val66Met polymorphism and the efficiency of verbal memory processes, determined in the dichotic test, as well as with the background oscillatory activity of the brain, recorded with eyes closed in 52 EEG leads. The study involved 235 right-handed young Caucasians (YA, mean age 21.65 years, SD = 3.18) and 141 older (OA, 64.37 years, SD = 6.04). Genetic differences in memory parameters and endophenotypes of EEG activity were found only in OA individuals. In dichotic testing, subjects with the Val/Val genotype reproduced fewer words from the right ear compared to carriers of the Met allele. When analyzing the EEG, genetic differences were found in the focal indicators of asymmetry in the power of the delta, theta, beta 1 and 2 rhythms, and were due to the greater power of the rhythms in the central temporal sections of the right hemisphere compared to the left hemisphere in Val/Val, with the opposite ratio in carriers of the Met allele. For the beta 2 rhythm, similar differences in asymmetry were also characteristic of the parietal-occipital regions of the hemispheres. It was found that indicators of central temporal asymmetry are mediators in the association between BDNF gene polymorphism and memory efficiency. The data obtained for the first time show age-related differences in the effects of the Val/Met BDNF polymorphism on the efficiency of verbal memory and EEG power and suggest possible relationships between these genotype-associated parameters.
