Ming Lo; Yi-Xiu Lin; Chih-Wei Hue; Shiou-Yuan Chen; Tzu-Ya Wang; Pei-Hua Chen – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
This study aims to examine the relationship between vocabulary proficiency and short-term memory capacity in deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) children. We test the hypothesis that the relationship between vocabulary skills and digit span performance could be strengthened when the digit span task encompasses cross-modal integration processes. A group…

HyeJin Hwang; Kristen L. McMaster; Panayiota Kendeou – Reading Research Quarterly, 2023
The present study tested the postulation that "knowledge begets reading, which begets knowledge." Using Random Intercepts Cross-Lagged Panel Models (RI-CLPM), we analyzed a U.S. nationally representative data set to examine the directionality and magnitude of the longitudinal relation between domain knowledge (operationalized as science…

Gifted children are described as very talented children who achieve more than their age mates in one or more domains (Steiner and Carr in Educ Psychol Rev 15(3):215-246, 2003).

Lee, Yune S.; Ahn, Sanghoon; Holt, Rachael Frush; Schellenberg, E. Glenn – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Scholars debate whether musical and linguistic abilities are associated or independent. In the present study, we examined whether musical rhythm skills predict receptive grammar proficiency in childhood. In Experiment 1, 7- to 17-year-old children (N = 68) were tested on their grammar and rhythm abilities. In the grammar-comprehension task,…

Language Proficiency and Executive Control in Proactive Interference: Evidence from Monolingual and Bilingual Children and Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bialystok, Ellen; Feng, Xiaojia – Brain and Language, 2009
Two studies are reported in which monolingual and bilingual children (Study 1) and adults (Study 2) completed a memory task involving proactive interference. In both cases, the bilinguals attained lower scores on a vocabulary test than monolinguals but performed the same on the proactive interference task. For the children, bilinguals made fewer…
