Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Butterfuss, Reese; Kendeou, Panayiota; McMaster, Kristen L.; Orcutt, Elly; Bulut, Okan – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
We examined the extent to which the timing of inferential questioning influenced kindergartners' inferencing performance in a non-reading context, while also taking into account individual differences in language comprehension and executive function. Students completed the eight-week Early Language Comprehension Individualized Instruction (ELCII)…

Khan, Kiren S.; Logan, Jessica; Justice, Laura M.; Bowles, Ryan P.; Piasta, Shayne B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Narrative skill represents a higher-level linguistic skill that shows incremental development in the preschool years. During these years, there are considerable individual differences in this skill, with some children being highly skilled narrators (i.e., precocious) relative to peers of their age. In this study, we explored the…

Individual Differences in Lexical Contributions to Speech Perception
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Giovannone, Nikole; Theodore, Rachel M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The extant literature suggests that individual differences in speech perception can be linked to broad receptive language phenotype. For example, a recent study found that individuals with a smaller receptive vocabulary showed diminished lexically guided perceptual learning compared to individuals with a larger receptive vocabulary. Here,…

Iuzzini-Seigel, Jenya – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This case-control study sought to determine if (a) children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), other speech sound disorders (SSDs), and typical development would perform differently on a procedural learning assessment and (b) whether grammatical ability would impact group differences. Method: Communication, motor, and procedural…

Exploring Which Test-Taker Characteristics Predict Young L2 Learners' Performance on Listening and Reading Comprehension Tests
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sok, Sarah; Shin, Hye Won; Do, Juhyun – Language Testing, 2021
Test-taker characteristics (TTCs), or individual difference variables, are known to be a systematic source of variance in language test performance. Although previous research has documented the impact of a range of TTCs on second language (L2) learners' test performance, few of these studies have involved young learners. Given that young L2…
