Debono, Mark – Ethics and Education, 2023
In this paper, I show the ambiguities in the interpretations of Martin Heidegger and Alain Badiou of Plato's allegory of the cave as an enlightening educational experience. In Heidegger's interpretation, knowledge appears as a rational process that corrects the thinking of others. By his claim of an education by truths, Badiou prioritises, again,…

Liu, Han-Chin – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2021
This study investigated differences in Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) students' learning achievement, cognitive load level, and eye-movement patterns when learning three types of Chinese characters: pictographs, compound ideographs, and phono-semantic compounds with multimedia slides. Thirty CFL students participated in this study. Additional…

YiHsuan Wood; Jeffrey J. Green; Ellen Knell; Yu Liu – Language Awareness, 2025
This study used eye-tracking to investigate the real-time processing of phonetic and semantic radicals (components of Chinese characters that give clues to their pronunciation and meaning) by intermediate-level university Chinese foreign language (CFL) learners. Additionally, the study examined how knowledge and awareness of radicals affect…

Pan, Jinger; Liu, Miaomiao; Li, Hong; Yan, Ming – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Word boundary information is not marked explicitly in Chinese sentences and word ambiguity happens in Chinese texts. This introduces difficulty to parse characters into words when reading Chinese sentences, especially for beginning readers. In an eye-tracking study, we tested whether explicit word boundary information as provided by alternating…

Michael Li – Language Learning & Technology, 2023
The acquisition of Chinese characters has been widely acknowledged as challenging for learners of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) due to their unique logographic nature and the time and effort involved. However, recent advancements in instructional technologies demonstrate a promising role in facilitating the teaching and learning of Chinese…

Shingo Nahatame – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2022
This study is an extension of Nahatame's (2018) research that demonstrated the effects of causal and semantic relations between sentences on second language (L2) text processing. Employing eye tracking, this study aimed to examine whether these effects appear during more natural, uninterrupted reading processes and to identify the time course of…

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…

Bauer, Patricia J.; Blue, Shala N.; Xu, Aoxiang; Esposito, Alena G. – Developmental Psychology, 2016
We investigated 7- to 10-year-old children's productive extension of semantic memory through self-generation of new factual knowledge derived through integration of separate yet related facts learned through instruction or through reading. In Experiment 1, an experimenter read the to-be-integrated facts. Children successfully learned and…

Townsend, David J. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2013
Comprehension includes interpreting sentences in terms of aspectual categories such as processes ("Harry climbed") and culminations ("Harry reached the top"). Adding a verbal modifier such as "for many years" to a culmination coerces its interpretation from one to many culminations. Previous studies have found that coercion increases lexical…

Brown, Joel; Kim, Koomi; Ramirez, Kathleen O'Brien – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2012
This article examines how a second-grader demonstrates that reading is not about decoding letters and words in linear order but is a more complex activity involving the reader's decisions with respect to several aspects of their knowledge of their language and how comprehension is key to transacting with texts. The paper observes and documents the…

Georgia State Dept. of Education, Atlanta. Office of Instructional Services. – 1975
Two processes involved in reading mathematics are discussed in this document: eye movements and relating the mathematical idea to the appropriate word or symbol. Many kinds of eye movements are used in mathematics--around, top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top, diagonal, backward and forward, and follow the arrow. Examples of each kind are presented. The…
