Natalia Reoyo-Serrano; Anastasia Dimakou; Chiara Nascimben; Tamara Bastianello; Daniela Lucangeli; Silvia Benavides-Varela – Developmental Science, 2025
The boundary effect, namely the infants' failures to compare small and large numerosities, is well documented in studies using visual stimuli. The prevailing explanation is that the numerical system used to process sets up to 3 is incompatible with the system employed for numbers >3. This study investigates the boundary effect in 10-month-old…

Ishanti Gangopadhyay; Daniel Fulford; Kathleen Corriveau; Jessica Mow; Pearl Han Li; Sudha Arunachalam – Cognitive Science, 2024
Understanding cognitive effort expended during assessments is essential to improving efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility within these assessments. Pupil dilation is commonly used as a psychophysiological measure of cognitive effort, yet research on its relationship with effort expended specifically during language processing is limited. The…

Silvia Martínez-Ferreiro – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Word retrieval skills change across the lifespan. Permanent alterations in the form of decreased accuracy or increased response time can be a consequence of both normal ageing processes or the presence of acquired and neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., aphasia and dementia). Despite the extensive literature exploring the…

Regina Hert; Juhani Järvikivi; Anja Arnhold – Cognitive Science, 2024
We report the results of one visual-world eye-tracking experiment and two referent selection tasks in which we investigated the effects of information structure in the form of prosody and word order manipulation on the processing of subject pronouns "er" and "der" in German. Factors such as subjecthood, focus, and topicality,…

Stephen Kintz; Hana Kim; Heather Harris Wright – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Core lexicon (CL) analysis is a time efficient and possibly reliable measure that captures discourse production abilities. For people with aphasia, CL scores have demonstrated correlations with aphasia severity, as well as other discourse and linguistic measures. It was also found to be clinician-friendly and clinically sensitive…

Tal Ness; Valerie J. Langlois; Albert E. Kim; Jared M. Novick – Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2025
Understanding language requires readers and listeners to cull meaning from fast-unfolding messages that often contain conflicting cues pointing to incompatible ways of interpreting the input (e.g., "The cat was chased by the mouse"). This article reviews mounting evidence from multiple methods demonstrating that cognitive control plays…

Chantavarin, Suphasiree; Morgan, Emily; Ferreira, Fernanda – Cognitive Science, 2022
Prior research has shown that various types of conventional multiword chunks are processed faster than matched novel strings, but it is unclear whether this processing advantage extends to variant multiword chunks that are less formulaic. To determine whether the processing advantage of multiword chunks accommodates variations in the canonical…

Kathryn E. Prescott; Kimberly Crespo; Susan Ellis Weismer – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
"Purpose:" ASD is associated with relative strengths in the visuospatial domain but varying abilities in the linguistic domain. Previous studies suggest parallels between spatial language and spatial cognition in older autistic individuals, but no research to date has examined this relationship in young autistic children. Therefore, the…

Graves, Scott L., Jr.; Johnson, Kyanna; Phillips, Shanye; Jones, Mark; Jacobs, Marcel – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Research has indicated that school aged (6-16 years) versions of cognitive assessment instruments have varying levels of linguistic demand, which could impact assessment results for placement purposes. However, a significant limitation to this research is the fact that it has not been replicated with cognitive assessment instruments used in…

María González-Nosti; Arrate Barrenechea; Romina San Miguel-Abella; María del Carmen Pérez-Sánchez; Lucía Fernández-Manzano; Ainhoa Ramírez-Arjona; Noelia Rodríguez-Pérez; Elena Herrera – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Although considerable research has been conducted on post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS), cognitive symptoms, particularly those related to language, are still not well understood. Aims: To provide a detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of language performance in PCS patients using a comprehensive set of semantic and verbal…

Maria Kaltsa; Despina Papadopoulou – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of sentential context on lexical ambiguity resolution in Greek adults and typically developing children. Context and word frequency are factors that can affect lexical processing, however, the role of them has not been thoroughly examined in Greek. To this aim, we assessed sentence context effects in…

Gao, Fan; Dechsubha, Thawascha – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2022
This paper offers a comprehensive survey of translation ethics within the theoretical frame of Lady Welby's meaning triad concerning the relationship between ethics and translation in the meaning process of sign activities. The paper mainly discusses such aspects as: (1) the relationship between meaning triad and translation ethics, (2) upward…

Carlos Rojas; Bernardo Riffo; Ernesto Guerra – SAGE Open, 2023
Older adults show a progressive cognitive decline, and although language processing appears to resist advancing age, studies in word retrieval report that elders show important difficulties. Previous research reports that such failures increase from age 70 years, which suggests that during the fourth age word retrieval would exhibit even stronger…

Chabal, Sarah; Hayakawa, Sayuri; Marian, Viorica – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Over the course of our lifetimes, we accumulate extensive experience associating the things that we see with the words we have learned to describe them. As a result, adults engaged in a visual search task will often look at items with labels that share phonological features with the target object, demonstrating that language can become activated…

Siu, Tik-Sze Carrey; Ho, Suk-Han Connie – Language Learning, 2022
The present study compared Chinese-English bilinguals and English monolinguals within three age groups to examine whether bilinguals have an advantage in syntactic processing. Participants were tested on morphosyntactic awareness, word-order awareness, artificial syntax learning, and general cognitive abilities. Bilinguals within the three age…
