Strand, Julia F.; Brown, Violet A.; Merchant, Madeleine B.; Brown, Hunter E.; Smith, Julia – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Listening effort (LE) describes the attentional or cognitive requirements for successful listening. Despite substantial theoretical and clinical interest in LE, inconsistent operationalization makes it difficult to make generalizations across studies. The aims of this large-scale validation study were to evaluate the convergent validity…

Brookshire, Elizabeth; Conway, Tim; Henry, Maya L.; Spencer, Kristie A.; Yorkston, Kathryn M.; Kendall, Diane L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between non-orthographic language abilities and reading in order to examine assumptions of the primary systems hypothesis and further our understanding of language processing poststroke. Method: Performance on non-orthographic semantic, phonologic, and syntactic tasks, as well as oral reading and…

Schwab, Jessica F.; Lew-Williams, Casey; Goldberg, Adele E. – Journal of Child Language, 2018
Children tend to regularize their productions when exposed to artificial languages, an advantageous response to unpredictable variation. But generalizations in natural languages are typically conditioned by factors that children ultimately learn. In two experiments, adult and six-year-old learners witnessed two novel classifiers, probabilistically…

Wen, Yun; Mirault, Jonathan; Grainger, Jonathan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
In 2 ERP experiments participants read 4-word sequences presented for 200 ms (RPVP paradigm) and were required to decide whether the word sequences were grammatical or not. In Experiment 1, the word sequence consisted of either a grammatically correct sentence (e.g., "she can sing now") or an ungrammatical scrambled sequence (e.g.,…

Pili-Moss, Diana – Language Learning, 2021
This study examined the role of child cognitive abilities for procedural and declarative learning in the earliest stages of second language (L2) exposure. In the context of a computer game, 53 first language Italian monolingual children were aurally trained in a novel miniature language over 3 consecutive days. A mixed effects model analysis of…

Paape, Dario; Avetisyan, Serine; Lago, Sol; Vasishth, Shravan – Cognitive Science, 2021
We present computational modeling results based on a self-paced reading study investigating number attraction effects in Eastern Armenian. We implement three novel computational models of agreement attraction in a Bayesian framework and compare their predictive fit to the data using k-fold cross-validation. We find that our data are better…

Lindstromberg, Seth; Eyckmans, June – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
Although retrieval of lexical forms is a prerequisite for language production, research of L2 vocabulary learning has focused much more on meanings and form-meaning mappings than on development of detailed, accessible mental representations of forms. This is particularly true with respect to multi-word items (MWIs). We report an experimental study…

David, Céline; Tuller, Laurice; Schweitzer, Elisabeth; Lescanne, Emmanuel; Bonnet-Brilhault, Frédérique; Gomot, Marie; Ferré, Sandrine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Phonological complexity is known to be a good index of developmental language disorder (DLD) in normal-hearing children, who have major difficulties on some complex structures. Some deaf children with cochlear implants (CIs) present a profile that evokes DLD, with persistent linguistic difficulties despite good audiological and…

Hussein, Ibtisam; Jihad, Al-Orefi; Yasin, Ayman – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
This paper addresses the techniques of treating patients with functional disorders of pronouncing sibilants in Arabic. The sounds under question are /s/, /z/, /?/. The main disorders that are studied here are: substitution and distortion. A descriptive analytical approach was followed; patients from different ages of functional pronunciation…

Pugh, Samuel L.; Subburaj, Shree Krishna; Rao, Arjun Ramesh; Stewart, Angela E. B.; Andrews-Todd, Jessica; D'Mello, Sidney K. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
We investigated the feasibility of using automatic speech recognition (ASR) and natural language processing (NLP) to classify collaborative problem solving (CPS) skills from recorded speech in noisy environments. We analyzed data from 44 dyads of middle and high school students who used videoconferencing to collaboratively solve physics and math…

Carreres, Ángeles; Noriega-Sánchez, María – Research-publishing.net, 2021
While translation has been used for centuries for the purpose of language learning, there is no doubt that recent approaches in the area of language and translation pedagogy have helped re-conceptualise -- and re-operationalise -- translation in radically new ways. In the last two decades, the role of translation in language teaching and learning…

Crossley, Scott; Wan, Qian; Allen, Laura; McNamara, Danielle – Grantee Submission, 2021
Synthesis writing is widely taught across domains and serves as an important means of assessing writing ability, text comprehension, and content learning. Synthesis writing differs from other types of writing in terms of both cognitive and task demands because it requires writers to integrate information across source materials. However, little is…

Christian A. Navarro-Torres – ProQuest LLC, 2021
An aim of research on bilingualism is to understand how the brain adapts to the use of more than one language. Although several important discoveries and insights about the consequences of bilingualism have been generated over the last several decades, concerns about replicability have narrowed the scope of inquiry and discussion to the…

Lynette Hazelton; Jessica Nastal; Norbert Elliot; Jill Burstein; Daniel F. McCaffrey – Grantee Submission, 2021
In writing studies research, automated writing evaluation technology is typically examined for a specific, often narrow purpose: to evaluate a particular writing improvement measure, to mine data for changes in writing performance, or to demonstrate the effectiveness of a single technology and accompanying validity arguments. This article adopts a…

Kennedy, David – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The last half-century has seen a slow, tentative change in adult attitudes about young children's capacity to think abstractly. Parents and teachers know the young child as a dramatic mixture of the concrete, sense-bound, and the transcendent, and it is just that mixture, cultivated and pursued, which makes for philosophy. Young children's…
