This book synthesizes and analyzes research on early vocal contact (EVC) for preterm infants, an early healthcare strategy aimed at reducing the long-term impact of neonatal hospitalization, minimizing negative impacts of premature birth, and promoting positive brain development. Chapters begin by examining research on the maternal voice and its unique and fundamental role in infant development during the fetal and neonatal period. The book discusses the rationale for EVC with preterm infants, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms, and the challenges for infants’ development. Subsequent chapters highlight various EVCs that are used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), including ...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment (INTETAIN 11). The 20 full papers, 3 posters, 10 demos and 4 workshops presented were carefully selected from numerous submissions. The conference aims enhancing the understanding of recent and anticipated advances in interactive technologies, and their applications to entertainment, education, culture, and the arts. Interaction technologies are having relevant changes in the last years, and will influence the way users consume and interact with the media and applications, both locally and over the Internet. The explosion of natural, multimodal, and touch based interfaces, and their access to the general public, has made new interaction paradigms a reality.

The Routledge Handbook of Language and Emotion offers a variety of critical theoretical and methodological perspectives that interrogate the ways in which ideas about and experiences of emotion are shaped by linguistic encounters, and vice versa. Taking an interdisciplinary approach which incorporates disciplines such as linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, psychology, communication studies, education, sociology, folklore, religious studies, and literature, this book: explores and illustrates the relationship between language and emotion in the five key areas of language socialisation; culture, translation and transformation; poetry, pragmatics and power; the affec...
Spesso si pensa che la musica sia patrimonio esclusivo di chi la studia e la pratica, ma una simile concezione non tiene conto delle molteplici espressioni musicali rintracciabili in ogni tempo e luogo, né del fatto che tutti gli esseri umani nascono con una predisposizione per la musica.Dall’ascolto alla produzione, quella musicale è un’esperienza condivisa e fondamentale per lo sviluppo: l’obiettivo di questo libro è esplorare le connessioni tra la musicalità — cioè la relazione biologicamente fondata tra le persone e la musica — e l’educazione, la riabilitazione e la musicoterapia, per individuare i possibili utilizzi della musica come mediatrice di relazioni umane e di azioni di didattica inclusiva, nonché promotrice di benessere e di processi di cittadinanza attiva.Il volume è rivolto a chi opera nei settori dell’educazione, della riabilitazione e della musica e si avvale della prospettiva di pedagogisti, musicoterapeuti, ricercatori, psicologi e musicisti.
