Daniel Swingley; Robin Algayres – Cognitive Science, 2024
Computational models of infant word-finding typically operate over transcriptions of infant-directed speech corpora. It is now possible to test models of word segmentation on speech materials, rather than transcriptions of speech. We propose that such modeling efforts be conducted over the speech of the experimental stimuli used in studies…

Leah Ward; Kamila Polišenská; Colin Bannard – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis examines the accuracy of sentence repetition (SR) tasks in distinguishing between typically developing (TD) children and children with developmental language disorder (DLD). It explores variation in the way that SR tasks are administered and/or evaluated and examines whether variability…

Joshua William Wampler – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Eventualities have been recognized as psychologically and linguistically relevant for more than 50 years. Psychologically, eventualities are complex bundles of information derived from our perceptions of the world. The question for linguists is how much of this complexity is reflected in our eventuality-denoting lexical entries and the…

Bastian Bunzeck; Holger Diessel – First Language, 2025
In a seminal study, Cameron-Faulkner et al. made two important observations about utterance-level constructions in English child-directed speech (CDS). First, they observed that canonical in/transitive sentences are surprisingly infrequent in child-direct speech (given that SVO word order is often thought to play a key role in the acquisition of…

Emanuel Schütt; Merle Weicker; Carolin Dudschig – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Negation is usually considered as a linguistic operator reversing the truth value of a proposition. However, there are various ways to express negation in a multimodal manner. It still remains an unresolved issue whether nonverbal expressions of negation can influence linguistic negation comprehension. Based on extensive evidence demonstrating…

Hei-Chia Wang; Yu-Hung Chiang; I-Fan Chen – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Assessment is viewed as an important means to understand learners' performance in the learning process. A good assessment method is based on high-quality examination questions. However, generating high-quality examination questions manually by teachers is a time-consuming task, and it is not easy for students to obtain question banks. To solve…

Ijaz Ul Haq; Manoli Pifarré; Estibaliz Fraca – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2024
Collaborative creativity (cocreativity) is essential to generate original solutions for complex challenges faced in organisations. Effective cocreativity requires the orchestration of cognitive and social processes at a high level. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, specifically deep learning sentence embedding models, have emerged as…

Cherish M. Sarmiento; Adrea J. Truckenmiller – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2024
Educators and researchers have been interested in supporting sentence-level language comprehension for struggling readers, but it has been challenging to research. To investigate the properties of sentences that might be useful targets for future research in instruction and assessment, we coded several features of the items in a computer-adaptive…

Shin, Gyu-Ho; Mun, Seongmin – Developmental Science, 2023
This study investigates how neural networks address the properties of children's linguistic knowledge, with a focus on the "Agent-First" strategy in comprehension of an active transitive construction in Korean. We develop various neural-network models and measure their classification performance on the test stimuli used in a behavioural…

Analí Rosa Taboh; Diego Edgar Shalom; Belén Alvares; Carolina Andrea Gattei – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Children with hearing loss (CHL) who use hearing devices (cochlear implants or hearing aids) and communicate orally have trouble comprehending sentences with noncanonical order. This study explores sentence comprehension strategies in Spanish-speaking CHL, focusing on their ability to integrate morphosyntactic cues (word order,…

Horchak, Oleksandr V.; Garrido, Margarida Vaz – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Previous research showed that verifying a pictured object mentioned in a preceding sentence takes less time when the pictured object shape is compatible with the described object location or spatial position. In the current work we asked if nonvisual information is integrated into the mental model when the target object shape is implied by virtue…

Sophie Gruhn; Eliane Segers; Jos Keuning; Ludo Verhoeven – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Reading comprehension is an interactive process. Yet, instructional needs are usually identified with isolated componential tests. This study examined whether a dynamic approach, in which componential abilities are measured within the same text and global text comprehension is facilitated via feedback, can help in understanding…

Charlène Gilbert – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Research in first-language (L1) sentence processing has found evidence that language comprehenders use binding condition A as a filter to rule out noun phrases that are binding-inaccessible before proceeding with the task of finding the correct antecedent. Sturt (2013) notes that this strategy does not appear to apply to advanced speakers of…

Qi Cheng; Xu Yan; Lujia Yang; Hao Lin – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
The current study combined sentence plausibility judgment and self-paced reading tasks to examine the comprehension strategies and processing patterns of Chinese deaf individuals when comprehending written Chinese sentences with syntactic-semantic cue conflicts. Similar to findings from previous crosslinguistic studies on deaf readers, the Chinese…

Hwang, Heeju – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Much research in the functional linguistics literature suggests that the use of zero pronouns is driven by the degree of interclausal connection. Kim (1990, 1992) claims that in clause chain languages such as Korean and Japanese, zero pronouns are primarily used following an interclausal connective with a tight interclausal connection that…
