Georgios P. Georgiou; Aretousa Giannakou – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Although extensive research has focused on the perceptual abilities of second language (L2) learners, a significant gap persists in understanding how cognitive functions like phonological short-term memory (PSTM) and nonverbal intelligence (IQ) impact L2 speech perception. This study sets out to investigate the discrimination of L2 English…

Winskel, Heather; Kim, Tae-Hoon – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
Mirror invariance or generalisation is the ability to recognise objects as being the same regardless of their spatial orientation. However, when, for example, learning to read Roman script, children need to hone these skills so that they can readily discriminate between mirror letters such as b/d or p/b. Korean Hangul makes a particularly…

Wu, Shiyu; Liu, Dilin; Huang, Shaoqiang – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
Via two reading experiments, this exploratory study examined the effects of over- and under-specified linguistic input on L2 online processing of Chinese referring expressions (REs). In each experiment, a group of advanced L2 Chinese speakers (all with Uyghurs as L1) and a control group of native Chinese speakers read 48 sets of 4 sentence pairs…

Chen, Donggui; Wang, Ruiming; Zhang, Jinqiao; Liu, Cong – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
We used delayed sentence-picture verification tasks to investigate multilingual perceptual representations. In experiment 1, participants listened to sentences with implied shapes. After a 10-min interval, they judged whether pictures had been mentioned in the preceding sentences or not. Results in experiment 1 showed significant match effect in…

Morett, Laura M. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
Prior research suggests that viewing still images and iconic gestures depicting concepts facilitates the learning of concrete words in the initial stages of second language (L2) acquisition. To date, however, the effect of viewing iconic gestures and images hasn't been systematically compared to the effect of glosses in the learning and retrieval…

Mehdiabadi, Fatemeh; Maadad, Nina; Arabmofrad, Ali – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
In recent years, despite the fact that many researchers have devoted much of their attention to second language attrition, not much focus has been given to first language attrition (FLA) specifically among Iranian immigrants. The present study attempts to describe FLA in the semantic domain of idiomatic expression and effect of length of residence…

Academic Vocabulary Knowledge and Reading Comprehension Skills among Seventh-Graders in Arabic as L1
Makhoul, Bahaa; Sabah, Katrina – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
The current study attempted to investigate the contribution of an intervention program to fostering Arabic academic vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension skills among seventh grade Arabic native speaking pupils. For this purpose, 247 pupils from four schools in northern Israel have participated in the study. Arabic literacy units that…

Shabani, Gholamhossein; Rahimy, Ramin – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
It is broadly acknowledged that collocation is a crucial aspect of lexical knowledge. A well-developed collocational knowledge is necessary to transfer receptive word knowledge into productive use. The aim of the present study was to investigate comparatively the effect of two glossing conditions (textual and audio) and skewed input on lexical…

Li, Bin; Shao, Jing; Bao, Mingzhen – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
Tonal languages differ in how they use phonetic correlates, e.g. average pitch height and pitch direction, for tonal contrasts. Thus, native speakers of a tonal language may need to adjust their attention to familiar or unfamiliar phonetic cues when perceiving non-native tones. On the other hand, speakers of a non-tonal language may need to…

Shin, Hong Im; Kim, Juyoung – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
Does using a foreign language result in forming different moral decisions than using our mother tongue? Two studies were conducted to investigate whether there is a relationship between foreign language effects (differences between native vs. foreign language conditions) and psychological distance. Study 1 tested four moral dilemmas adapted from…
