Westergaard, Marit – Second Language Research, 2021
In this article, I argue that first language (L1), second language (L2) and third language (L3) acquisition are fundamentally the same process, based on learning by parsing. Both child and adult learners are sensitive to fine linguistic distinctions, and language development takes place in small steps. While the bulk of the article focuses on…

Yang, Jiumin; Zhu, Fangfang; Jiang, Yirui; Pi, Zhongling – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Evidence regarding the benefits of an instructor's deictic gestures in video lectures on adults' learning may not necessarily be reflective of their effect on children's learning. Furthermore, there is a lack evidence regarding how deictic gestures specifically affect learners' learning process. Based in cognitive load theory, with consideration…

Lambert, Richard G. – Center for Educational Measurement and Evaluation, 2023
This study sought to investigate whether there were performance differences between the children who engaged with the Ignite by Hatch™ educational gaming system using the English- or Spanish-language versions of the games. Differential item functioning methods (DIF) were employed to investigate these differences. Specifically, DIF analyses can…

King, Steve; McClatchey, Irene Searles; Channer, Bianca – InSight: A Journal of Scholarly Teaching, 2022
Experiential learning in the field is central to the training of many helping professionals, and field education is the signature pedagogy for social work. Service-learning offers another opportunity for graduate students in the helping professions to get hands on training. Volunteering would also offer a hands-on learning experience but appears…

Adam Carreon; Sean J. Smith; Bruce Frey; Amber Rowland; Maggie Mosher – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2024
Virtual reality (VR) has evolved to include non-immersive to fully-immersive experiences for the classroom. This study seeks to understand the potential effects VR may offer, specifically characteristics associated with how a student experiences a VR intervention and the effects of using a VR device for learning. A group experimental design was…

Edwards, Grey; Henschke, John A. – Commission for International Adult Education, 2022
This paper presents a summary of Dr. Clinton Lee (Andy) Anderson's 40+ years Military (US Army) Educator Service implementing Dr. Malcolm S. Knowles' perspective on andragogy. Some specifics of Anderson's implementation include five Adult Basic Education (ABE) characteristics of facilitating Knowles' andragogy, six differences between teaching and…

Park, Jisook; Miller, Carol A.; Rosenbaum, David A.; Sanjeevan, Teenu; van Hell, Janet G.; Weiss, Daniel J.; Mainela-Arnold, Elina – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether dual language experience affects procedural learning ability in typically developing children and in children with specific language impairment (SLI). Method: We examined procedural learning in monolingual and bilingual school-aged children (ages 8-12 years) with and without SLI. The…

Zheng, Yinyuan; Matlen, Bryan; Gentner, Dedre – Cognitive Science, 2022
Visual comparison is a key process in everyday learning and reasoning. Recent research has discovered the spatial alignment principle, based on the broader framework of structure-mapping theory in comparison. According to the spatial alignment principle, visual comparison is more efficient when the figures being compared are arranged in…

Katan, Pesia; Kahta, Shani; Sasson, Ayelet; Schiff, Rachel – Annals of Dyslexia, 2017
Graph complexity as measured by topological entropy has been previously shown to affect performance on artificial grammar learning tasks among typically developing children. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of graph complexity on implicit sequential learning among children with developmental dyslexia. Our goal was to determine…

Pagano, Lauren C.; Haden, Catherine A.; Uttal, David H.; Cohen, Tsivia – Science Education, 2019
We examined the conversational reflections of 248 families with 6-11-year-old children shortly after they visited a tinkering exhibit. Our aim was to understand the conditions of tinkering and conversational reflection that can enhance STEM learning opportunities for young children. Some families visited the exhibit when there was a design…

Hashimoto, Teruo; Yokota, Susumu; Matsuzaki, Yutaka; Kawashima, Ryuta – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Atypical learning and memory in early life can promote atypical behaviors in later life. Less relational learning and inflexible retrieval in childhood may enhance restricted and repeated behaviors in patients with autism spectrum disorder. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms of atypical memory in children with autism…

Singh, Sonia; Walk, Anne M.; Conway, Christopher M. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2018
Previous research suggests that individuals with developmental dyslexia perform below typical readers on non-linguistic cognitive tasks involving the learning and encoding of statistical-sequential patterns. However, the neural mechanisms underlying such a deficit have not been well examined. The aim of the present study was to investigate the…

Mélanie van Barreveld; Annette Scheper; Constance Vissers; Iris Duinmeijer; Britt Hakvoort – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: It is well-established that children and adolescents with developmental language disorder (DLD) have social-emotional difficulties. This is reflected in their behaviour, for instance, by (social) withdrawal, hyperactivity or difficulty with peer relations. Children with DLD are also known to have poorer quality of life (QoL). This is…

Sevim Berrin Inci Izmir; Zekeriya Deniz Aktan; Eyüp Sabri Ercan – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Objective: The study aims to examine family functionality, emotion regulation difficulties, preference for loneliness, social exclusion, internalizing and externalizing disorders, and executive functions in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS) and compare with ADHD, and ADHD+…

Todd, James Torrence; Bahrick, Lorraine E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) show atypical attention, particularly for social events. The new Multisensory Attention Assessment Protocol (MAAP) assesses fine-grained individual differences in attention disengagement, maintenance, and audiovisual matching for social and nonsocial events. We investigated the role of competing…
