Memory-Paced Tapping to Auditory Rhythms: Effects of Rate, Speech, and Motor Engagement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Amrani, Anat Kliger; Golumbic, Elana Zion – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Humans have a near-automatic tendency to entrain their motor actions to rhythms in the environment. Entrainment has been hypothesized to play an important role in processing naturalistic stimuli, such as speech and music, which have intrinsically rhythmic properties. Here, we studied two facets of entraining one's rhythmic motor actions…

An ERP Investigation on the Second Language and Emotion Perception: The Role of Emotion Word Type
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Wu, Chenggang; Zhang, Juan; Yuan, Zhen – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
It is well established that emotion is extensively influenced by language. However, previous studies mainly focus on the first language (L1) rather than the second language (L2). The current study explored whether L2 shapes emotion perception in masked priming paradigm by distinguishing emotion-label words (e.g. fear, pride) and emotion-laden…

Participatory Structure of Planning and Cognitive Task Complexity in L2 Oral Performance: A Processing Perspective
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Farahanynia, Mahsa; Khatib, Mohammad – Language Learning Journal, 2022
This study investigates the impact on L2 oral performance of participatory structure of strategic planning (individual vs. collaborative pair planning) and task complexity (simple vs. complex tasks) defined according to the number of elements involved. It also explores individual and collaborative planners' planning behaviours prior to simple vs.…

Hiromori, Tomohito – Journal for the Psychology of Language Learning, 2021
Student engagement in the second language classroom has been the focus of numerous researchers and teachers. Previous studies have shown that there are several dimensions of student engagement, but it is still unclear how they change (or not) over time and consequently how they affect actual task performance. This study investigated the task…

An Eye-Tracking Study of Attention to Visual Cues in L2 Listening Tests
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Batty, Aaron Olaf – Language Testing, 2021
Nonverbal and other visual cues are well established as a critical component of human communication. Under most circumstances, visual information is available to aid in the comprehension and interpretation of spoken language. Citing these facts, many L2 assessment researchers have studied video-mediated listening tests through score comparisons…

Role-Playing Techniques: The Differential Effect of Behavior Simulation Interventions on the Readiness to Inflict Pain.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kipper, David A.; Har-Even, Dov – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1984
Investigated the differential effect of two kinds of behavior simulation (role-playing) interventions: spontaneous and mimetic-pretend, on the readiness and the responsibility attributions associated with delivering electric shocks to others (N=25). Results showed that the spontaneous subjects were more ego-oriented and inhibited in administering…
