Pablo Robles-García; Stuart McLean; Jeffrey Stewart; Ji-young Shin; Claudia Helena Sánchez-Gutiérrez – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2024
Recent literature in the field of L2 vocabulary assessment has advocated for the development of written receptive vocabulary tests such as Vocabulary Levels Tests (VLTs) that use: (a) meaning-recall item formats, (b) a minimum of 40 item counts per 1,000-frequency band to improve level estimates, and (c) lemmas (not word-families) as the lexical…

Brennan-Jones, Christopher G.; Whitehouse, Andrew J. O.; Calder, Samuel D.; Da Costa, Cheryl; Eikelboom, Robert H.; Swanepoel, De Wet; Jamieson, Sarra E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine whether otitis media (OM) in early childhood has an impact on language development in later childhood. Methods: We analyzed data from 1,344 second-generation (Generation 2) participants in the Raine Study, a longitudinal pregnancy cohort established in Perth, Western Australia, between 1989 and 1991. OM…

Uchihara, Takumi; Clenton, Jon – Language Teaching Research, 2020
The current study investigates the extent to which receptive vocabulary size test scores can predict second language (L2) speaking ability. Forty-six international students with an advanced level of L2 proficiency completed a receptive vocabulary task (Yes/No test; Meara & Miralpeix, 2017) and a spontaneous speaking task (oral picture…

Gellert, Anna S.; Arnbak, Elisabeth – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine how well students' response to a morphological vocabulary intervention can be predicted before the start of the intervention from traditional static assessments and to determine whether a dynamic assessment with graduated prompts improves the prediction. Method: A planned secondary analysis of a…

Jahng, Kyung Eun – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
This study was intended to examine the relationship between children's shyness and play behaviour during peer play, and the moderating effect of the level of children's language development. Participants were 229 South Korean children aged 48-53 months. The results of the study are as follows. Children's shyness was negatively associated with…

O'Fallon, Maura; Von Holzen, Katie; Newman, Rochelle S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Previous research shows that shared storybook reading interactions can function as effective speech and language interventions for young children, helping to improve a variety of skills--including word-learning. This study sought to investigate the potential benefits of elaboration of new words during a single storybook reading with…

Zuk, Jennifer; Iuzzini-Seigel, Jenya; Cabbage, Kathryn; Green, Jordan R.; Hogan, Tiffany P. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is hypothesized to arise from deficits in speech motor planning and programming, but the influence of abnormal speech perception in CAS on these processes is debated. This study examined speech perception abilities among children with CAS with and without language impairment compared to those with…

Dere, Zeynep – Journal of Education and Learning, 2019
Early childhood education aims to support children's whole development and their school readiness. Children develop a knowledge about reading, writing and learning before elementary school. This knowledge is called early literacy and it's a key factor for school readiness. This study delves to investigate the early literacy skills of children and…

Venker, Courtney E.; Edwards, Jan; Saffran, Jenny R.; Ellis Weismer, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
In typical development, listeners can use semantic content of verbs to facilitate incremental language processing--a skill that is associated with existing language skills. Studies of children with ASD have not identified an association between incremental language processing in semantically-constraining contexts and language skills, perhaps…

Pace, Amy; Rojas, Raúl; Bakeman, Roger; Adamson, Lauren B.; Tamis-LeMonda, Catherine S.; Caughy, Margaret O'Brien; Owen, Margaret Tresch; Suma, Katharine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This longitudinal study assessed continuity and stability of productive language (vocabulary and grammar) and discourse features (turn-taking; asking and responding to questions) during mother-child play. Method: Parent-child language use in 119 Spanish-speaking, Mexican immigrant mothers and their children at two ages (M = 2.5 and 3.6…

Busch, J.; Cabrera, N.; Ialuna, F.; Buchmüller, T.; Leyendecker, B. – Early Education and Development, 2022
Research Findings: We assessed socio-emotional behavior, nonverbal reasoning, German receptive language, and motor skills of refugee children attending early childhood development [ECD] programs and of those who did not (N = 207, mean age = 69.4 months). Young refugee children overall demonstrated lower levels of development and more…

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…

Purpose: Chromosome 16p11.2 deletion syndrome (OMIM #611913) is a rare genetic condition resulting from the partial deletion of approximately 35 genes located at Chromosome 16. Affected people exhibit a variable clinical profile, featuring mild dysmorphisms, motor problems, developmental delay, mild intellectual disability (ID), socialization…

Guedes, Carolina; Ferreira, Tiago; Leal, Teresa; Cadima, Joana – Applied Developmental Science, 2023
This study aimed to examine the unique and joint contributions of behavioral and emotional self-regulation to key but understudied emergent literacy and early social skills, disentangling sex-differentiated paths. The participants were 231 Portuguese preschoolers (50% boys; M[subscript age] = 59.5 months; SD = 8.5) enrolled in 47 classrooms. In…
