Andrea D. Warner-Czyz; Sean R. Anderson; Sarah Graham; Kristin Uhler – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
This study investigated the acquisition of early expressive vocabulary among young children who are deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH; n = 68) using auditory technology (hearing aids and cochlear implants). Parents completed a standardized vocabulary checklist, which allowed analyses of (i) the size of their child's spoken vocabulary; (ii) composition…

Maria Kaltsa; Alexandra Prentza; Leonarda Prela; Ianthi Maria Tsimpli – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
The present paper aims to investigate the interplay of lexical and grammatical development in school-aged Greek-Albanian bilingual children by providing evidence both from majority, Greek, and heritage, Albanian. To this end, 47 8 to 10-year-old bilingual children were tested by means of expressive vocabulary tests in Greek and in Albanian, while…

HyeJin Hwang; Sonia Q. Cabell – Grantee Submission, 2021
Background: Vocabulary and domain knowledge are important factors that influence comprehension development. However, these factors have most frequently been examined in relation to reading comprehension and much less frequently examined in relation to listening comprehension. Moreover, almost no empirical studies have examined profiles of…

Diana Leyva; Gloria Yeomans-Maldonado; Christina Weiland; Anna Shapiro – Grantee Submission, 2024
Associations between home learning opportunities, parental growth mindset (the belief that intelligence is malleable), and children's academic skills have been documented primarily in European descent communities. Less is known about other communities. This study examined associations among home learning opportunities, parental mindsets, and child…

Kanj, Rama; El-Hassan, Karma – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2023
Vocabulary tests administered on multilingual populations should take into account the unique linguistic and cultural makeup of the population by adopting test development methods that allow responses in several languages. Our aims were to develop a picture-naming test for multilingual Lebanese school-age children (L1: Lebanese, L2: French and/or…

Smolander, Sini; Laasonen, Marja; Arkkila, Eva; Lahti-Nuuttila, Pekka; Kunnari, Sari – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Language exposure is known to be a key factor influencing bilingual vocabulary development in typically developing (TD) children. There is, however, a lack of knowledge in terms of exposure effects in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and, especially, in interaction with age of onset (AoO) of second language…

Hettiarachchi, Shyamani – Deafness & Education International, 2022
Children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) in Sri Lanka have inadequate access to early amplification and language stimulation. As a result, they are at risk of impoverished language development: spoken language and sign language. Thirty DHH children who use Sri Lankan sign language between the ages of 4;4-7;2 years from three classrooms of a…

Venker, Courtney E.; Neumann, Dominik; Aladé, Fashina – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2022
Background & Aims: Many young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate striking delays in early vocabulary development. Experimental studies that teach the meanings of novel nonwords can determine the effects of linguistic and attentional factors. One factor that may affect novel referent selection in children with ASD is…

Schmitt, Mary Beth; Tambyraja, Sherine; Thibodeaux, Megan; Filipkowski, Jen – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of school-age children with language impairment (LI) and their speech-language pathologists (SLPs) relied on telepractice service delivery models. Unfortunately, the dearth of evidence and procedural guidance available to SLPs has made this transition challenging at best. Method: The current study…

Jung, Jongmin; Reed, Jessa; Wagner, Laura; Stephens, Julie; Warner-Czyz, Andrea D.; Uhler, Kristin; Houston, Derek – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This study examined vocabulary profiles in young cochlear implant (CI) recipients and in children with normal hearing (NH) matched on receptive vocabulary size to improve our understanding of young CI recipients' acquisition of word categories (e.g., common nouns or closed-class words). Method: We compared receptive and expressive…
