“…Thus, with this subject sample, the NFB program was more effective than VP or no training in improving attentional ability. These findings could be explained using a theory of brain plasticity, stating that a practical training method targeting brainwave changes could improve the arousal regulation of the brain and consequently influence attentional ability (Kolb & Gibb, 2011). The NFB group showed improved selective attention, attention span, and automatic reaction inhibition.…”

“…According to current evidence brain functions in their developmental stages are particularly vulnerable to postnatal developmental deficits that likely may have various etiological backgrounds (Teicher, Tomoda, & Andersen, 2006;Fagiolini, Jensen, & Champagne, 2009;Kolb & Gibb, 2011) and may cause persisting of the so-called primitive reflexes (Allen & Capute, 1986;Zafeiriou, 2004;Sanders & Gillig, 2011).…”

Particularly important postnatal developmental reflexes that diminish in later stages of development are Moro reflex and Galant reflex that belong among the so-called primitive reflexes. According to current evidence persistence of the primitive reflexes is related to certain specific neuropsychiatric disorders. According to current knowledge there is no evidence whether these reflexes play a role in Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). To develop these findings we have tested a hypothesis whether ADHD children in the school age (8-11 years) will have higher level of persisting primitive reflexes Moro and Galant compared to a control group of children of the same age. Results of this study show that ADHD children have high occurrence of primitive reflexes compared to the control group, which indicates that ADHD symptoms may present a compensation of unfinished developmental stages related to diminishing Moro and Galant reflexes.

“…The second issue D raises with the neuroscientific arguments for UG is that 'the local connectivity in the language areas (as well as other areas of the brain) [is] not genetically specified but emerge[s] as a result of activity and [its] position in the larger functional networks in the brain (Elman et al, 1996;Müller, 2009;Anderson et al, 2011;Kolb & Gibb, 2011)' (p.6).…”

The Place of Universal Grammar in the Study of Language and Mind: A Response to Dabrowska (2015)

Generative Linguistics proposes that the human ability to produce and comprehend language is fundamentally underwritten by a uniquely linguistic innate system called Universal Grammar (UG). In her recent paper What is Universal Grammar, and has anyone seen it? Ewa Dabrowska reviews a range of evidence and argues against the idea of UG from a Cognitive Linguistics perspective. In the current paper, I take each of Dabrowska's arguments in turn and attempt to show why they are not well founded, either because of flaws in her argumentation or because of a careful consideration of the available empirical evidence. I also attempt to demonstrate how evidence from the fields Dabrowska reviews actually supports the notion of UG. However, arguments are additionally presented in favor of integrating an understanding of domain-specific UG with an understanding of domain-general cognitive capacities in order to understand the language faculty completely.
