Escudero, Paola; Smit, Eline A.; Angwin, Anthony J. – Language Learning, 2023
Research has shown that novel words can be learned through the mechanism of statistical or cross-situational word learning (CSWL). So far, CSWL studies using adult populations have focused on the presentation of spoken words. However, words can also be learned through their written form. This study compared auditory and orthographic presentations…

Lu, Hong; Leung, Frederick K. S.; Fan, Zhengcheng – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Research has revealed the extent and mechanism of the relation between language (dominated by alphabetic systems) and students' mathematics learning, but when it comes to Chinese language (an orthographic system), nature remains elusive. In this meta-analysis we aim to quantify the size of the relation between Chinese language and mathematics and…

Immonen, Katja; Peltola, Kimmo U.; Tamminen, Henna; Alku, Paavo; Peltola, Maija S. – Second Language Research, 2023
Children are known to be fast learners due to their neural plasticity. Learning a non-native language (L2) requires the mastering of new production patterns. In classroom settings, learners are not only exposed to the acoustic input, but also to the unfamiliar grapheme-phoneme correspondences of the L2 orthography. We tested how 9-10-year-old…

Charoy, Jeanne; Samuel, Arthur G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
In conversational speech, it is very common for words' segments to be reduced or deleted. However, previous research has consistently shown that during spoken word recognition, listeners prefer words' canonical pronunciation over their reduced pronunciations (e.g., pretty pronounced [word omitted] vs. [word omitted]), even when the latter are far…
