Gligoric, Vukašin; Vilotijevic, Ana – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Psychological research on pseudo-profound bullshit--randomly assembled buzz words plugged into a syntactic structure--has only recently begun. Most such research has focused on dispositional traits, such as thinking styles or political orientation. However, none has investigated contextual factors. In two studies, we introduce a new paradigm by…

Bidgood, Amy; Pine, Julian M.; Rowland, Caroline F.; Ambridge, Ben – Cognitive Science, 2020
All accounts of language acquisition agree that, by around age 4, children's knowledge of grammatical constructions is abstract, rather than tied solely to individual lexical items. The aim of the present research was to investigate, focusing on the passive, whether children's and adults' performance is additionally semantically constrained,…

Anna S. Gibbs; Deborah K. Reed – European Journal of Education, 2025
This content analysis explored children's fictional storybooks and informational science books to determine their differences in high-quality text features that support oral language (OL) development. We also explored the opportunities for OL development in curricular books compared to trade books. Using systematic coding procedures, we evaluated…

Lina Abed Ibrahim – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: To avoid misdiagnosis with developmental language disorder (DLD) in bilingual children, it is recommended to evaluate both languages. However, unlike their monolingual peers, bilingual children acquire their heritage language under adverse input conditions. Focusing on Levantine Arabic, the study evaluates the clinical utility of a…

Shannon S. Hall-Mills; Leesa M. Marante – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2025
The purpose of this registered report study was to determine the effects of explicit text structure instruction on the expository text comprehension of students with language and learning disabilities (LLD) using a multiple baseline design across conditions (e.g., compare-contrast and cause-effect) and participants. Participants included four…

Sidhu, David M.; Williamson, Jennifer; Slavova, Velina; Pexman, Penny M. – Journal of Child Language, 2022
Iconic words imitate their meanings. Previous work has demonstrated that iconic words are more common in infants' early speech, and in adults' child-directed speech (e.g., Perry et al., 2015; 2018). This is consistent with the proposal that iconicity provides a benefit to word learning. Here we explored iconicity in four diverse language…

Yao, Panpan; Stockall, Linnaea; Hall, David; Borer, Hagit – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
Using the Visual World Paradigm, the current study aimed to explore whether the mass/count distinction is determined by syntax in Mandarin Chinese, focusing on classified nouns in nominal phrases. By using dual-role classifiers, ontological count and mass nouns, and phrase structures with and without biased syntactic cues we found that the…

Weiler, Brian K.; Decker, Allyson L. – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2022
To explore the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and language domain (vocabulary, syntax, process), the QUILS was administered to 212 kindergartners. Children from very-high poverty schools performed significantly below children from high poverty and mid-low poverty schools. SES impacts language-learning processes (i.e., fast…

Lenhart, Michelle H.; Timler, Geralyn R.; Pavelko, Stacey L.; Bronaugh, Dannette A.; Dudding, Carol C. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: Syntax has been called the structural foundation of language, as its development allows for more efficient and effective communication. Complex syntax production is known to lag in children and adolescents with language impairment. Conversation, narrative, and expository language sampling contexts are recommended tools for the…

Altman, Carmit; Avraham, Ilanit; Meirovich, Shlomit Shnitzer; Lifshitz, Hefziba – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2022
Individuals with intellectual disability may have limited narrative skills. The novelty of this study lies in the examination of strengths and weaknesses which may enable a more facilitative approach to narrative and other storytelling-based methodologies among adults with intellectual disability who study in an academic enrichment program in…

Yu'an Yang – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Languages tend to have three major clause types (declaratives, interrogatives, imperatives), dedicated to three main speech acts (assertions, questions, commands). However, the particular forms that these clause types take differ from language to language, and have to be learned. Previous experimental results suggest that by 18 months old,…
