Elazar, Amit; Alhama, Raquel G.; Bogaerts, Louisa; Siegelman, Noam; Baus, Cristina; Frost, Ram – Cognitive Science, 2022
How does prior linguistic knowledge modulate learning in verbal auditory statistical learning (SL) tasks? Here, we address this question by assessing to what extent the frequency of syllabic co-occurrences in the learners' native language determines SL performance. We computed the frequency of co-occurrences of syllables in spoken Spanish through…

Veerbeek, Jochanan; Vogelaar, Bart; Verhaegh, Janneke; Resing, Wilma C. M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
Task solving processes and changes in these processes have long been expected to provide valuable information about children's performance in school. This article used electronic tangibles (concrete materials that can be physically manipulated) and a dynamic testing format (pretest, training, and posttest) to investigate children's task solving…

Haley, Katarina L.; Jacks, Adam; Jarrett, Jordan; Ray, Taylor; Cunningham, Kevin T.; Gorno-Tempini, Maria Luisa; Henry, Maya L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Of the three currently recognized variants of primary progressive aphasia, behavioral differentiation between the nonfluent/agrammatic (nfvPPA) and logopenic (lvPPA) variants is particularly difficult. The challenge includes uncertainty regarding diagnosis of apraxia of speech, which is subsumed within criteria for variant classification.…

Torbeyns, Joke; Peters, Greet; De Smedt, Bert; Ghesquière, Pol; Verschaffel, Lieven – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
Background: In the last decades, children's understanding of mathematical principles has become an important research topic. Different from the commutativity and inversion principles, only few studies have focused on children's understanding of the addition/subtraction complement principle (if a - b = c, then c + b = a), mainly relying on verbal…

Poulsen, Mads; Gravgaard, Amalie K. D. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2016
This study investigated the relationship between syntactic comprehension at the sentence level and text-level comprehension. The study isolated the specific contribution of syntax by asking whether sentence comprehension efficiency of difficult syntactic constructions explained variance in text comprehension after controlling for sentence…
