Direct linkRoark, Casey L.; Lescht, Erica; Hampton Wray, Amanda; Chandrasekaran, Bharath – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Categories are fundamental to everyday life and the ability to learn new categories is relevant across the lifespan. Categories are ubiquitous across modalities, supporting complex processes such as object recognition and speech perception. Prior work has proposed that different categories may engage learning systems with unique developmental…

Ryan J. McGill; Stefan C. Dombrowski; Gary L. Canivez – Psychology in the Schools, 2025
The present study examined the posited structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Fifth Edition (WISC-V) ancillary index scores with normative sample participants aged 6-16 years (N = 2200) using a series of confirmatory factor analyzes (CFA) with maximum likelihood estimation. CFA results supported the retention of auditory…

Purpose: Developmental dyslexia is proposed to involve selective procedural memory deficits with intact declarative memory. Recent research in the domain of category learning has demonstrated that adults with dyslexia have selective deficits in Information-Integration (II) category learning that is proposed to rely on procedural learning…

Chen Kuang; Xiaoxiang Chen; Fei Chen – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Age, babble noise, and working memory have been found to affect the recognition of emotional prosody based on non-tonal languages, yet little is known about how exactly they influence tone-language-speaking children's recognition of emotional prosody. In virtue of the tectonic theory of Stroop effects and the Ease of Language Understanding (ELU)…

Jacques Pesnot Lerousseau; Maude Denis; Stéphane Roman; Daniele Schön – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Prelingual deaf children with cochlear implants show lower digit span test scores compared to normal-hearing peers, suggesting a working memory impairment. To pinpoint more precisely the subprocesses responsible for this impairment, we designed a sequence reproduction task with varying length (two to six stimuli), modality (auditory or…

Muscat, Loredana; Grech, Helen – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2023
The performance of children and young adults with Down syndrome (DS) on reading subskills and nonword reading was investigated. The performance of the participants with DS (N = 42) was compared to that of typically developing (N = 36) peers matched on fluid intelligence abilities. The study accounted for the different depths in orthography…

Dale, Brittany A.; Finch, William Holmes; Shellabarger, Kassie A. R. – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Ancillary index scales provide assessment professionals the opportunity to conduct a more comprehensive interpretation of a student's performance on the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children, Fifth Edition (WISC-V); however, little is known about the performance of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) on these scales. The ASD special…

Verbal Fluency in Prelingually Deaf, Early Implanted Children and Adolescents with Cochlear Implants
Hasnain, Fahad; Herran, Reid M.; Henning, Shirley C.; Ditmars, Allison M.; Pisoni, David B.; Sehgal, Susan T.; Kronenberger, William G. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Verbal fluency tasks assess the ability to quickly and efficiently retrieve words from the mental lexicon by requiring subjects to rapidly generate words within a phonological or semantic category. This study investigated differences between cochlear implant users and normal-hearing peers in the clustering and time course of word…

Ekaterina Andreevna Khlystova – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation investigates the interaction of developing extralinguistic cognitive systems with early language learning and processing through the case study of verb argument structure. The interaction of these systems with the linguistic system underpins fundamental theories of language learning and use: language does not exist in isolation.…

Cowan, Nelson; Li, Yu; Glass, Bret A.; Scott Saults, J. – Developmental Science, 2018
Presentation of two kinds of materials in working memory (visual and acoustic), with the requirement to attend to one or both modalities, poses an interesting case for working memory development because competing predictions can be formulated. In two experiments, we assessed such predictions with children 7-13 years old and adults. With…

Parrila, Rauno; Dudley, Dean; Song, Shuang; Georgiou, George K. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2020
We provide a meta-analytic review of all group-comparison studies that used reading-level match design, were conducted in highly consistent European orthographies, included children with dyslexia younger than 13 years of age as participants, and included measures of one or more of the potential causes of dyslexia. We identified 21 studies meeting…

Paz-Baruch, Nurit; Leikin, M.; Leikin, R. – Gifted and Talented International, 2022
Mathematical giftedness (MG) is an intriguing phenomenon, the nature of which has yet to be sufficiently explored. This study goes a step further in understanding how MG is related to expertise in mathematics (EM) and general giftedness (G). Cognitive testing was conducted among 197 high school students with different levels of G and of EM. Based…

Schiller, Isabel S.; Remacle, Angélique; Durieux, Nancy; Morsomme, Dominique – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Background noise and voice problems among teachers can degrade listening conditions in classrooms. The aim of this literature review is to understand how these acoustic degradations affect spoken language processing in 6- to 18-year-old children. Method: In a narrative report and meta-analysis, we systematically review studies that…

Self-regulation is a widely studied construct, generally assumed to be cognitively supported by executive functions (EFs). There is a lack of clarity and consensus over the roles of specific components of EFs in self-regulation. The current study examines the relations between performance on (a) a self-regulation task (Heads, Toes, Knees Shoulders…

Abu-Hamour, Bashir; Al Hmouz, Hanan – International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2020
The Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) factors of the Woodcock-Johnson Arabic Tests were studied with a group of children with dyslexia (n = 37), children with Intellectual Disability (ID) (n = 37), and average children (n = 37). A total sample of 111 Jordanian children with mean age of 116 months participated in the study. The purpose of this study was…
