Bayard, Natalie S.; Loon, Mariëtte H.; Steiner, Martina; Roebers, Claudia M. – Child Development, 2021
This study investigated age-dependent improvements of monitoring and control in 7/8- and 9/10-year-old children. We addressed prospective (judgments of learning and restudy selections) and retrospective metacognitive skills (confidence judgments and withdrawal of answers). Children (N = 305) completed a paired-associate learning task twice, with a…

Solares, Leslie; Fryling, Mitch J. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2019
A large amount of learning occurs through the observation of stimulus-stimulus relations. One procedure that involves this sort of learning is the stimulus-pairing observation procedure (SPOP). The current study involves a systematic replication of Byrne, Rehfeldt, and Aguirre (2014). Tests for the emergence of tact and listener relations were…

Baron, Lauren S.; Hogan, Tiffany P.; Alt, Mary; Gray, Shelley; Cabbage, Kathryn L.; Green, Samuel; Cowan, Nelson – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Orthographic facilitation describes the phenomenon in which a spoken word is produced more accurately when its corresponding written word is present during learning. We examined the orthographic facilitation effect in children with dyslexia because they have poor learning and recall of spoken words. We hypothesized that including…

Wass, Malin; Ching, Teresa Y. C.; Cupples, Linda; Wang, Hua-Chen; Lyxell, Björn; Martin, Louise; Button, Laura; Gunnourie, Miriam; Boisvert, Isabelle; McMahon, Catherine; Castles, Anne – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2019
Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between orthographic learning and language, reading, and cognitive skills in 9-year-old children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) and to compare their performance to age-matched typically hearing (TH) controls. Method: Eighteen children diagnosed with…

Sheppard, Kelly W.; Cheatham, Carol L. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2017
The Electric Maze Task (EMT) is a novel planning task designed to allow flexible testing of planning abilities across a broad age range and to incorporate manipulations to test underlying planning abilities, such as working-memory and inhibitory control skills. The EMT was tested in a group of 63 typically developing 7- to 12-year-olds.…

Wang, Hua-Chen; Wass, Malin; Castles, Anne – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2017
Paired-associate learning is a dynamic measure of the ability to form new links between two items. This study aimed to investigate whether paired-associate learning ability is associated with success in orthographic learning, and if so, whether it accounts for unique variance beyond phonological decoding ability and orthographic knowledge. A group…
