Infants are able to use the contexts in which familiar words appear to guide their inferences about the syntactic category of novel words (e.g. 'This is a' + 'dax' -> dax = object). The current study examined whether 18-month-old infants can rapidly adapt these expectations by tracking the distribution of syntactic structures in their input. In…

Workers learn on the job from both repetition and peers. Less understood is how "specific" types of experience and peer characteristics affect on-the-job learning. This likely differs by context (e.g., occupation, tasks, or roles). Absent such knowledge, it is unclear how to optimally assign workers to tasks and peers. We examine…

The present study investigated cross-sectionally, through a mediation model, the role of perceived school context-related factors (school connectedness, peer acceptance) and cyberbullying involvement (as victim/bully) in school adjustment of native and immigrant students in elementary and secondary education.
