Schaper, Marie Luisa; Kuhlmann, Beatrice G.; Bayen, Ute J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Item memory and source memory are different aspects of episodic remembering. To investigate metamemory differences between them, the authors assessed systematic differences between predictions of item memory via Judgments of Learning (JOLs) and source memory via Judgments of Source (JOSs). Schema-based expectations affect JOLs and JOSs…

Kang, Tinghu; Tang, Tinghao; Zhang, Peizhi; Luo, Shu; Qi, Huanhuan – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: The ability to translate concrete manipulatives into abstract mathematical formulas can aid in the solving of mathematical word problems among students, and metacognitive prompts play a significant role in enhancing this process. Aims: Based on the concept of semantic congruence, we explored the effects of metacognitive prompts and…

Blything, Liam P.; Iraola Azpiroz, Maialen; Allen, Shanley; Hert, Regina; Järvikivi, Juhani – Journal of Child Language, 2022
In two visual world experiments we disentangled the influence of order of mention (first vs. second mention), grammatical role (subject vs object), and semantic role (proto-agent vs proto-patient) on 7- to 10-year-olds' real-time interpretation of German pronouns. Children listened to "SVO" or "OVS" sentences containing active…

Cowan, Nelson; Guitard, Dominic; Greene, Nathaniel R.; Fiset, Sylvain – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
In the traditional conception of working memory for word lists, phonological codes are used primarily, and semantic codes are often discarded or ignored. Yet, other evidence indicates an important role for semantic codes. We carried out a preplanned set of four experiments to determine whether phonological and semantic codes are used similarly or…

Pintér, Lilla; Surányi, Balázs – First Language, 2023
Previous research has uncovered that, despite the omnipresence of focus in utterances, children typically do not compute the exhaustivity inference associated with cleft(-like) syntactic focus constructions at adult-like levels before 7 years of age. Children's comparable limitations with lexically triggered scalar implicatures, inferences with an…

Pertsova, Katya; Becker, Misha – Language Learning and Development, 2021
This paper explores the hypothesis that children pay more attention to phonological cues than semantic cues when acquiring grammatical patterns. In a series of artificial allomorphy learning experiments with adults and children we find support for this hypothesis but only for those learners who do not show clear signs of explicit learning. In…

de Varda, Andrea Gregor; Strapparava, Carlo – Cognitive Science, 2022
The present paper addresses the study of non-arbitrariness in language within a deep learning framework. We present a set of experiments aimed at assessing the pervasiveness of different forms of non-arbitrary phonological patterns across a set of typologically distant languages. Different sequence-processing neural networks are trained in a set…

Simeon, Katherine M.; Grieco-Calub, Tina M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which phonological competition and semantic priming influence lexical access in school-aged children with cochlear implants (CIs) and children with normal acoustic hearing. Method: Participants included children who were 5-10 years of age with either normal hearing (n = 41) or…

Charlotte Moore – ProQuest LLC, 2021
When learning a language, typically-developing infants face the daunting task of learning both the sounds and the meanings of words. In this dissertation, we focus on a source of variability that complicates the one-to-one relationship between words and their meanings: wordform variability. In Chapter 1 we make a distinction between the micro…

Yi, Misun; Lamb, Michael E. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
The present study explored the effects of different types of narrative practices on the accuracy and abundance of information elicited from children and the disclosure of secrets. Seventy-one children ages 3-6 years experienced a scripted encounter with a photographer; then they were interviewed about the event after participating in one of four…

Chauvin, Alexandre; Baum, Shari; Phillips, Natalie A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Speech perception in noise becomes difficult with age but can be facilitated by audiovisual (AV) speech cues and sentence context in healthy older adults. However, individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) may present with deficits in AV integration, potentially limiting the extent to which they can benefit from AV cues. This study…

Zhou, Wei; Shu, Hua; Miller, Kevin; Yan, Ming – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
Background: Disruptions of reading processes due to text substitutions can measure how readers use lexical information. Methods: With eye-movement recording, children and adults viewed sentences with either identical, orthographically similar, homophonic or unrelated substitutions of the first characters in target words. To the extent that readers…

Kumar, Abhilasha A.; Balota, David A.; Habbert, Julia; Scaltritti, Michele; Maddox, Geoffrey B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
The present experiments investigated the influence of combined phonological and semantic information on lexical retrieval, metacognitive retrieval states, and selection in an immediate multiple-choice task. Younger and older adults attempted to retrieve words (e.g., abdicate) from low-frequency word definitions. Retrieval was preceded by primes…

Grant, Angela M.; Brisson-McKenna, Maude; Phillips, Natalie A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Most language experiences take place at the level of multiple sentences. However, previous studies of second language (L2) comprehension have typically focused on lexical- and sentence-level processing. Our study addresses this gap by examining auditory discourse comprehension in 32 English/French bilinguals. We tested the prediction of the noisy…

Lippeveld, Marie; Oshima-Takane, Yuriko – Language Learning and Development, 2020
The cross-categorical use of nouns and verbs poses a challenging problem to young language learners because they are known to be less willing to accept that a single form of a word be used for more than one linguistic purpose (e.g., one-form/one-function principle). The present study investigated whether children under 3 years of age are able to…
