Jutta Kray; Linda Sommerfeld; Arielle Borovsky; Katja Häuser – Child Development Perspectives, 2024
Prediction error plays a pivotal role in theories of learning, including theories of language acquisition and use. Researchers have investigated whether and under which conditions children, like adults, use prediction to facilitate language comprehension at different levels of linguistic representation. However, many aspects of the reciprocal…

Anna Kautto; Henry Railo; Elina Mainela-Arnold – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Response times (RTs) are commonly used in studying language acquisition. However, previous research utilizing RT in the context of language has largely overlooked the intra-individual variability (IIV) of RTs, which could hold significant information about the processes underlying language acquisition. Method: We explored the association…

Xueyu Sun; Ting Wang – International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education, 2024
This study innovates English network teaching by applying a refined Association Rule Mining (ARM) algorithm. It integrates an "interest" parameter into ARM, dynamically adapting content to individual learners' profiles, improving engagement and outcomes. Controlled experiments, spanning diverse online platforms, validate the ARM model's…

Guanghao You; Moritz M. Daum; Sabine Stoll – Cognitive Science, 2024
Causation is a core feature of human cognition and language. How children learn about intricate causal meanings is yet unresolved. Here, we focus on how children learn verbs that express causation. Such verbs, known as lexical causatives (e.g., break and raise), lack explicit morphosyntactic markers indicating causation, thus requiring that the…

Seunghee Ha – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the predictive potential of language environment and vocal development status measures obtained through integrated analysis of Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) recordings during the prelinguistic stage for subsequent speech and language development in Korean-acquiring children. Specifically, this…

Imane Nedjar; Mohammed M'hamedi – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Tailored support is crucial for deaf and hearing-impaired children to overcome learning difficulties, particularly during primary education. The absence of listening profoundly hinders the progression of the learning journey, as it plays a pivotal role in language acquisition. Employing assistive technology is one approach to address this issue in…

Kichan Park – English Teaching, 2024
To identify effective methods for boosting incidental vocabulary learning, this study examines the impacts of two tools--bimodal presentation (BP) and lexical elaboration (LE)--on vocabulary acquisition through repeated encounters with target words during meaning-focused reading. In a quiet and comfortable place conducive to full concentration on…

Luis E. Muñoz; Natalia Kartushina; Julien Mayor – Developmental Science, 2024
Pacifier use during childhood has been hypothesized to interfere with language processing, but, to date, there is limited evidence revealing detrimental effects of prolonged pacifier use on infant vocabulary learning. In the present study, parents of 12- and 24-month-old infants were recruited in Oslo (Norway). The sample included 1187 monolingual…

Jena McDaniel; Hannah Krimm; C Melanie Schuele – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
This article reports on speech-language pathologists' (SLPs') knowledge related to myths about spoken language learning of children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH). The broader study was designed as a step toward narrowing the research-practice gap and providing effective, evidence-based language services to children. In the broader study,…

Georgia Andreou; Vasiliki Lymperopoulou; Vasiliki Aslanoglou – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Objective: Pragmatics can be defined as the appropriate use of language in social interactions. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) exhibit difficulties in pragmatic language (PL), but the nature and sources of these difficulties have not been fully investigated yet. The purpose of…

Seyda Özçaliskan; Ché Lucero; Susan Goldin-Meadow – Developmental Science, 2024
Blind adults display language-specificity in their packaging and ordering of events in speech. These differences affect the representation of events in "co-speech gesture"--gesturing with speech--but not in "silent gesture"--gesturing without speech. Here we examine when in development blind children begin to show adult-like…

Hernandez, Brianna; Allen, Thomas E.; Morere, Donna A. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2023
Language development is an important facet of early life. Deaf children may have exposure to various languages and communication modalities, including spoken and visual. Previous research has documented the rate of growth of English skills among young deaf children, but no studies have investigated the rate of ASL acquisition. The current paper…

Garbarino, Julianne; Bernstein Ratner, Nan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Disfluencies can be classified as stuttering-like disfluencies (SLDs) or typical disfluencies (TDs). Dividing TDs further, stalls (fillers and repetitions) are thought to be prospective, occurring due to planning glitches, and revisions (word and phrase revisions, word fragments) are thought to be retrospective, occurring when a speaker…

Padraic Monaghan – Journal of Child Language, 2023
Computational models of reading have tended to focus on the cognitive requirements of mapping among written, spoken, and meaning representations of individual words in adult readers. Consequently, the alignment of these computational models with behavioural studies of reading development has to date been limited. Models of reading have provided us…

Cao, Anjie; Lewis, Molly – Developmental Science, 2022
How do children infer the meaning of a novel verb? One prominent proposal is that children rely on syntactic information in the linguistic context, a phenomenon known as "syntactic bootstrapping". For example, given the sentence "The bunny is gorping the duck," a child could use knowledge of English syntactic roles to infer…
