Sisi Liu; Ning Li; Xinyong Zhang; Li-Chih Angus Wang; Duo Liu – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
To investigate the longitudinal effects of two domain-general cognitive abilities, namely verbal working memory and visual search skill, on Chinese reading comprehension. To evaluate whether decoding and linguistic comprehension mediate such effects. A total of 202 first-grade Chinese-speaking children from mainland China (M[subscript]age =…

Saswati Chaudhuri; Eija Pakarinen; Heli Muhonen; Marja-Kristiina Lerkkanen – Educational Psychology, 2024
This study investigated associations between quality of the teacher-student relationship (closeness and conflict) and teachers' (N = 48) visual focus of attention in Grade 1 classrooms in fall and spring, and it explored to what extent students' (N = 650) gender and task-avoidant behaviour moderated the associations. Results showed first that…

Mahfoudhi, Abdessatar; Abdalla, Fauzia; Al-Sulaihim, Nailah – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: This study examines the development of narrative microstructure elements of productivity, lexical diversity, and syntactic complexity in the oral story production of preschool- and school-age Kuwaiti Arabic-speaking children. It also explores the effects of story task complexity on the target microstructural features. Method: This study…

Davies, Patrick T.; Thompson, Morgan J.; Li, Zhi; Sturge-Apple, Melissa L. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Guided by evolutionary-developmental models, this study tested the hypothesis that children's exposure to parental relationship instability, defined by initiation and dissolution of caregiver intimate relationships, has both costs in cognitive impairments and benefits in enhanced learning skills. Participants included 243 mothers and their…

Chen, Yi-Jui Iva; Irey, Robin; Cunningham, Anne E. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018
The goal of this study was to test the item-based assumption of the self-teaching hypothesis by reanalyzing Cunningham's (2006) data. In Cunningham's study, 37 first graders participated in a self-teaching experiment, and their orthographic learning was measured by a spelling task and an orthographic choice task. A 2-level logistic regression…

Mansour-Adwan, Jasmeen; Asadi, Ibrahim A.; Khateb, Asaid – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
The universal role of phonological processing skills for reading acquisition has been established in many different languages including Arabic. However, in Arabic little knowledge exists about the development of wide-range of phonological tasks and about the correlations between them. We longitudinally studied the developmental trends and…

Staats, Cornelia; Oakley, Grace; Marais, Ida – Issues in Educational Research, 2019
This study set out to examine the range of legibility demonstrated by Western Australian students required to handwrite tasks of increasing intrinsic cognitive load. A representative sample of students in Years 1, 2 and 3 (N=437) was recruited for a cross sectional study and teachers administered handwriting tasks. Year 1 students were…

Rodrigues, Monyka L.; Kozak, Stephanie; Martin-Chang, Sandra – Reading Psychology, 2023
The Matthew effects suggest that children who struggle when learning to read are less likely to read for pleasure later in life compared to children who ease into reading quickly. One aspect of early literacy instruction that might hamper reading progress is learning to read simultaneously in two languages. Despite the long-lasting and widespread…

Nakamichi, Keito; Nakamichi, Naoko; Nakazawa, Jun – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
We investigated whether preschoolers' social-emotional competencies predict their peer relationships and academic achievements during grade one. Measures of cool and hot executive functions, theory of mind, social-problem-solving, and peer acceptance were administered to a sample of 48 preschoolers (M = 77.91 months). Academic achievement and peer…

de Bree, Elise; van den Boer, Madelon – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
Although research on cognitive correlates of spelling has been conducted, these studies generally do not distinguish between different types of targets that need to be spelled. Arguably, the contributions of these skills differ for words opposed to pseudowords and for targets that can be spelled on the basis of phoneme-to-grapheme conversion…

Acha, Joana; Agirregoikoa, Ainhize; Barreto, Florencia B.; Arranz, Enrique – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
The role of working memory (WM) in language acquisition has been widely reported in the developmental literature, but few studies have explored the role of sentence recall in the way WM and related linguistic abilities evolve. This study seeks to explore the organization and development of the memory architecture underlying language using a…

Khalaf, Shiva; Santi, Kristi L.; Kulesz, Paulina A.; Bunta, Ferenc; Francis, David J. – Grantee Submission, 2019
This study investigated the dimensionality of bilingual phonological awareness (PA) in English and Spanish by replicating a kindergarten model in Grade 1, and presents alternatives to modeling clustered data. English and Spanish tasks were analyzed from previously collected samples totaling 1,586 first grade Spanish-speaking English learners. Four…

Chen, Yuchun; Lin, Wen-Jing – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2022
Background: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) demonstrate deficits in vocabulary development and novel word learning processes, which have been proposed to stem from their speech perception deficits. Aims: This study had two aims. The first was to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention incorporating a computer-based phonetic…

Lillie Moffett; Frederick J. Morrison – Grantee Submission, 2020
Behavioral self-regulation supports young children's learning and is a strong predictor of later academic achievement. The capacity to manage one's attention and control one's behavior is commonly measured via direct assessments of executive function (EF). However, to understand how EF skills contribute to academic achievement, it is helpful to…
