Anna Cardis; Elena Podda; Maria Chiara Fastame – Psychology in the Schools, 2025
Phonemic awareness (PA) refers to the ability to reflect on and manipulate phonemes. The development of the ability to become aware of and conduct mental operations on phonemes might involve higher-order cognitive processes, such as executive functions (EFs), which help modulate attention to goal-relevant information and support behavioral…

Hadeer Derawi; Eva Reinisch; Yafit Gabay – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Background: To overcome variability in spoken language, listeners utilize various types of context information for disambiguating speech sounds. Context effects have been shown to be affected by cognitive load. However, previous results are mixed regarding the influence of cognitive load on the use of context information in speech perception.…

Ni, Pingping; Xue, Lingfeng; Cai, Jiajing; Wen, Minjie; He, Jie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Visual perspective-taking is the ability to perceive the world from another person's perspective, and research on visual perspective-taking ability in children with autism spectrum conditions yielded inconsistent results. To solve a visual perspective-taking task, people can mentally rotate themselves to another person's location (embodied…

Angela Pasqualotto; Paola Venuti – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2025
This study investigated the role of domain-specific and domain-general factors in predicting early literacy skills in Italian children. A sample of 239 first-grade students was evaluated using a broad neuropsychological battery to assess their cognitive skills. The results showed that phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, speed of…

Lütke, Nikolay; Lange-Küttner, Christiane – Developmental Psychology, 2021
We investigated mental rotation in children by systematically varying the adult cube aggregate's set size, rotation angle, and picture/depth plane rotations in a new test. Eighty 4- to 11-year-old mainly middle-class children (British Indian and British African majority and white minority; 40 girls and 40 boys) were assessed using the new…

Wang, Li; Ong, Jia Hoong; Ponsot, Emmanuel; Hou, Qingqi; Jiang, Cunmei; Liu, Fang – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
As an information-bearing auditory attribute of sound, pitch plays a crucial role in the perception of speech and music. Studies examining pitch processing in autism spectrum disorder have produced equivocal results. To understand this discrepancy from a mechanistic perspective, we used a novel data-driven method, the reverse-correlation paradigm,…

Gallego, María Gómez; Perez de los Cobos, Alfonso Palazón; Gallego, Juan Cándido Gómez – Education Sciences, 2021
A main goal of the university institution should be to reduce the desertion of its students, in fact, the dropout rate constitutes a basic indicator in the accreditation processes of university centers. Thus, evaluating the cognitive functions and learning skills of students with an increased risk of academic failure can be useful for the adoption…

Rajabpour Azizi, Maryam; Rajabpour Azizi, Zahra; Akhavan Tafti, Mahnaz; Mohamadzadeh, Shirin – Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, 2022
This study compared students with specific learning disorders (SLDs) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) based on the Formal Elements Art Therapy Scale (FEATS). Thirty students with SLDs, 30 students with ADHD, and 30 students without SLDs/ADHD in Babol (Iran) completed the Person Picking an Apple from a Tree (PPAT) assessment.…

Martín-Brufau, Ramón; Berná, Javier Corbalán – Creativity Research Journal, 2021
More than 50 years since the introduction of the concept of divergent production, little progress has been made in the development of parsimonious theoretical models that sufficiently explain creativity. Recently, the optimal foraging theory has been used to explain the search for items in memory tasks, suggesting the correspondence between the…

Swanson, H. Lee; Arizmendi, Genesis D.; Li, Jui-Teng – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
This study explored the role of growth in the executive components of working memory (WM) on second language (L2) mathematical problem-solving in elementary school children who are emerging bilinguals whose first language (L1) is Spanish. To this end, children (N = 429) in Grades 1, 2, and 3 at Wave 1 were administered a battery of math, reading,…

McBreen, Miriam; Savage, Robert – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2022
This research assessed the impact of combining small-group cognitive reading intervention with a motivational program targeting students' goals, emotions, and self-efficacy beliefs on the reading performance and motivation of third-grade students at risk for reading difficulties (n = 25, M[subscript age] = 8.99, SD = 0.38). Using a…

Swanson, H. Lee; Arizmendi, Genesis D.; Li, Jui-Teng – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
This study investigated the prevalence and stability of latent classes among elementary-aged English learning (EL) children whose first language is Spanish. To this end, EL children (N = 267) in Grades 1, 2, and 3 at Wave 1 (Year 1) were administered a battery of vocabulary, reading, math, and cognitive measures (short-term memory, working memory,…
