Jiménez, Eva; Hills, Thomas T. – Child Development, 2022
This study investigates the influence of semantic maturation on early lexical development by examining the impact of contextual diversity--known to influence semantic development--on word promotion from receptive to productive vocabularies (i.e., comprehension-expression gap). Study 1 compares the vocabularies of 3685 American-English-speaking…

Li, Yangping; Kenett, Yoed N.; Hu, Weiping; Beaty, Roger E. – Creativity Research Journal, 2021
Metaphors are a common way to express creative language, yet the cognitive basis of figurative language production remains poorly understood. Previous studies found that higher creative individuals can better comprehend novel metaphors, potentially due to a more flexible semantic memory network structure conducive to remote conceptual combination.…

Casper J. D. Jensen; Teresa Cadierno – Language Learning Journal, 2024
The number of learners seeking to acquire an L2 by means of apps is ever-increasing. This study examined the effectiveness of using the app "Mondly" for the acquisition of L2 English vocabulary while accounting for differences in the acquisition of receptive and productive aspects of word knowledge. Twelve Danish young learners (aged…

Venker, Courtney E.; Edwards, Jan; Saffran, Jenny R.; Ellis Weismer, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
In typical development, listeners can use semantic content of verbs to facilitate incremental language processing--a skill that is associated with existing language skills. Studies of children with ASD have not identified an association between incremental language processing in semantically-constraining contexts and language skills, perhaps…

Zhukova, Marina A.; Ovchinnikova, Irina; Logvinenko, Tatiana I.; Grigorenko, Elena L. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2020
The current study investigated language development of children residing in institutional care (IC) in Russia, compared to peers raised by biological family care (BFC). We used standardized behavioral testing (Preschool Language Scale-5, McArthur CDI), and an event-related potential picture-word matching paradigm. Children in IC significantly…

Yang, Meiling; Wang, Yunqi – Language Learning and Development, 2023
How does linguistic structure affect children's developing cardinal number knowledge? The bootstrapping theory proposes that children might use syntactic information provided by known words such as quantifiers to bootstrap the meanings of unfamiliar words such as number words. Prior studies of numeral and quantifier development have indicated that…

Pasquinelli, Rennie; Tessier, Anne Michelle; Karas, Zachary; Hu, Xiaosu; Kovelman, Ioulia – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The fine-tuning of linguistic prosody in later childhood is poorly understood, and its neurological processing is even less well studied. In particular, it is unknown if grammatical processing of prosody is left- or rightlateralized in childhood versus adulthood and how phonological working memory might modulate such lateralization.…

Leaño, Adelaila J.; Rabi, Norfishah Mat; Piragasam, Grace Annammal Gnana – Southeast Asia Early Childhood, 2019
This study aimed to investigate Philippine indigenous learners' speaking difficulties in English Semantics. The objectives was to identify indicators of poor vocabulary, processing and expressing of information. It was a qualitative research through case studies of five Grade 2 Indigenous Peoples (IP) learners in Echague, Isabela, Philippines.…

Gray, Shelley; Lancaster, Hope; Alt, Mary; Hogan, Tiffany P.; Green, Samuel; Levy, Roy; Cowan, Nelson – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: We investigated four theoretically based latent variable models of word learning in young school-age children. Method: One hundred sixty-seven English-speaking second graders with typical development from three U.S. states participated. They completed five different tasks designed to assess children's creation, storage, retrieval, and…

Haebig, Eileen; Leonard, Laurence B.; Deevy, Patricia; Schumaker, Jennifer; Karpicke, Jeffrey D.; Weber, Christine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Recent behavioral studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of implementing retrieval practice into learning tasks for children. Such approaches have revealed that repeated spaced retrieval (RSR) is particularly effective in promoting children's learning of word form and meaning information. This study further examines how retrieval…

Mason, Sara Ann – ProQuest LLC, 2019
This thesis examines whether native, heritage, and L2 speakers of Spanish engage a morphological layer of representation in the processing of inflected words, and whether they do so with both regularly- and irregularly-inflected words. Also examined is whether this tendency towards compositional (i.e. morphological rule-based) processing is…

Haebig, Eileen; Kaushanskaya, Margarita; Weismer, Susan Ellis – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and specific language impairment (SLI) often have immature lexical-semantic knowledge; however, the organization of lexical-semantic knowledge is poorly understood. This study examined lexical processing in school-age children with ASD, SLI, and typical development, who were matched on receptive…

Beattie, Rachel L.; Manis, Franklin R. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2014
Studies have begun to focus on what skills contribute to the development of phonological awareness, an important predictor of reading attainment. One of these skills is the perception of prosody, which is the rhythm, tempo and stress of a language. To examine whether prosodic perception contributes to phonological awareness prior to reading…

Pizzioli, Fabrizio; Schelstraete, Marie-Anne – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2013
The present study investigated how lexicosemantic information, syntactic information, and world knowledge are integrated in the course of oral sentence processing in children with specific language impairment (SLI) as compared to children with typical language development. A primed lexical-decision task was used where participants had to make a…

Koeth, Joel T. – ProQuest LLC, 2012
This study utilized a novel task design in an effort to identify the source of the second language processing advantage commonly reported in mixed language conditions, investigate switch cost asymmetry in non-balanced bilinguals, and identify task-related variables that potentially contribute to inconsistent results across studies with similar…
