Thomas St. Pierre; Jida Jaffan; Craig G. Chambers; Elizabeth K. Johnson – Cognitive Science, 2024
Adults are skilled at using language to construct/negotiate identity and to signal affiliation with others, but little is known about how these abilities develop in children. Clearly, children mirror statistical patterns in their local environment (e.g., Canadian children using "zed" instead of "zee"), but do they flexibly…

Stefan Wöhner; Andreas Mädebach; Herbert Schriefers; Jörg D. Jescheniak – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
This study traced different types of distractor effects in the picture-word interference (PWI) task across repeated naming. Starting point was a PWI study by Kurtz et al. (2018). It reported that naming a picture (e.g., of a duck) was slowed down by a distractor word phonologically related to an alternative picture name from a different taxonomic…

Akvile Sinkeviciute; Julien Mayor; Mila Dimitrova Vulchanova; Natalia Kartushina – Language Learning, 2024
Color terms divide the color spectrum differently across languages. Previous studies have reported that speakers of languages that have different words for light and dark blue (e.g., Russian "siniy" and "goluboy") discriminate color chips sampled from these two linguistic categories faster than speakers of languages that use…

Emanuel Bylund; Steven Samuel; Panos Athanasopoulos – Language Learning, 2024
Research has shown that speakers of different languages may differ in their cognitive and perceptual processing of reality. A common denominator of this line of investigation has been its reliance on the sensory domain of vision. The aim of our study was to extend the scope to a new sense-taste. Using as a starting point crosslinguistic…

Shawn Hemelstrand; Brian W. L. Wong; Catherine McBride; Urs Maurer; Tomohiro Inoue – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: We examined the effect of character complexity on early Chinese literacy (word reading and writing). We also investigated whether cognitive skills (phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and rapid automatized naming [RAN]) could moderate the influence of character complexity on literacy outcomes. Method: Our pre-registered study…

A recent Registered Replication Report (RRR) of the development of verbal rehearsal during serial recall revealed that children verbalized at younger ages than previously thought, but did not identify sources of individual differences. Here, we use mediation analysis to reanalyze data from the 934 children ranging from 5 to 10 years old from the…

Yoshihara, Masahiro; Nakayama, Mariko; Verdonschot, Rinus G.; Hino, Yasushi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
In a masked priming word-naming task, a facilitation due to the initial-segmental sound overlap for 2-character kanji prime-target pairs was affected by certain orthographic properties (Yoshihara, Nakayama, Verdonschot, & Hino, 2017). That is, the facilitation that was due to the initial mora overlap occurred only when the mora was the whole…

Kimberly Klassen – Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2022
A standard treatment of proper names in second language (L2) vocabulary analyses is to categorize them as known items. This treatment is often supported by the assumption that the form of the proper name (i.e., the initial capital letter) and the context will indicate to the L2 reader that the item is a proper name. The aim of this work-in-…

Zhou, Lin; Perfetti, Charles – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Phonological interference during written-word meaning judgments occurs in both Chinese and English, suggesting that word-level phonological activation is universal rather than dependent on the sublexical structures that vary with writing systems. To accommodate this universality, we distinguish two sources of phonological congruence between a…

Jianlin Chen; Yu Liu; Yanyan Xiong; Min He – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
The present study tested whether the switch costs of production-based language switching tasks by trilinguals are due to competition from outside language schemas or from within language systems. We recruited 90 Tibetan-Chinese-English trilinguals in 10th grade in a Tibetan middle school in China to name digits and number words using different…

Rabovsky, Milena; Schad, Daniel J.; Abdel Rahman, Rasha – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Language production ultimately aims to convey meaning. Yet words differ widely in the richness and density of their semantic representations, and these differences impact conceptual and lexical processes during speech planning. Here, we replicated the recent finding that semantic richness, measured as the number of associated semantic features…

Mekonnen, Abebayehu Messele – Educational Psychology in Practice, 2023
This exploratory study aimed at developing a dyslexia assessment tool in the Amharic language and to collect initial reliability and validity data on the tool designed to identify dyslexia in Grade 3. The developed battery consists of 10 tests. Data were collected from 121 Amharic-speaking children, aged 9-12 years. Evidence of construct validity…

Jue Wang; Xin Jiang; Baoguo Chen – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
The age at which people acquire a word influences word recognition, known as the age of acquisition (AoA) effect. In the first language (L1), AoA effects are widely found in various languages and experimental tasks. Arbitrary Mapping Hypothesis proposes that AoA effects reflect the loss of network plasticity during the learning of mappings between…

Yang, Xiujie; McBride, Catherine – Educational Psychology, 2020
The present study examined phonological processing skills (phonological memory, phonological awareness, and rapid automatised naming, RAN) in relation to early Chinese reading and early Chinese mathematics for young children. Early Chinese reading was assessed with single character reading and multi-character word reading, and early mathematics…

Tobar-Henríquez, Anita; Rabagliati, Hugh; Branigan, Holly P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Language use is intrinsically variable, such that the words we use vary widely across speakers and communicative situations. For instance, we can call the same entity "refrigerator" or "fridge." However, attempts to understand individual differences in how we process language have made surprisingly little progress, perhaps…
