Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Grosvald, Michael; Corina, David – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2012
In this study we explore listeners' sensitivity to vowel to vowel (VV) coarticulation, using both event-related potential (ERP) and behavioral methodologies. The stimuli used were vowels "colored" by the coarticulatory influence of other vowels across one, three or five intervening segments. The paradigm used in the ERP portion of the study was…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Rothweiler, Monika – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2010
In her Keynote Article, Paradis discusses the role of the interface between bilingual development and specific language impairment (SLI) on two different levels. On the level of theoretical explanations of SLI, Paradis asks how domain general versus domain-specific perspectives on SLI can account for bilingual SLI, as well as what bilingual SLI…

Skilled Performance, Practice, and the Differentiation of Speed-Up from Automatization Effects: Evidence from Second Language Word Recognition.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Segalowitz, Norman S.; Segalowitz, Sidney J. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1993
Practice on cognitive tasks, such as word recognition tasks, will usually lead to faster and more stable responding in a second language. An analysis is presented of the relationship between observed reductions in performance latency and latency variability with respect to whether processing has become faster or whether a qualitative change, such…

Literate Discourse and Cognitive Organization: Some Relations between Parents' Talk and Three-Year-Olds' Thought.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Watson, Rita – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1989
Analysis of videotapes of 19 parent-child dyads during bookreading when children were 2.5 years old, and subsequent analysis of the children's paradigmatic thought organization at 3.5 years, revealed a significant correlation between superordinate level labels in parents' talk and 3 measures of children's paradigmatic organization. (45 references)…

The Measurement of Bilingualism and Its Relationship to Cognitive Ability.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lemmon, Christian R.; Goggin, Judith P. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1989
Two experiments explored monolingual and bilingual subjects' performances on measures of English and Spanish language ability and cognitive skills. Language ability measures were highly correlated with each other, and a comparison of monolingual and bilingual subgroups suggested that low bilinguals accounted for differences between monolinguals'…

The Relationship Between Bilingualism and the Development of Cognitive Processes in Problem Solving.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bialystok, Ellen; Majumder, Shilpi – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1998
A study examined the effects of differing degrees of bilingualism (English monolingual, English-French balanced bilingual, Bengali-English partial bilingual) on nonverbal problem-solving abilities of 71 grade-three children. The groups were compared on control of attention and analysis of knowledge. Results indicate the balanced bilinguals…
