Meral Çilem Ökcün-Akçamus; Burcu Kiliç Tülü; Cevriye Ergül – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2025
The development of Theory of Mind (ToM) is associated with variables such as language, working memory, and nonverbal cognitive competence. Children on the autism spectrum tend to have difficulties in ToM development, language and communication skills, and working memory. This study investigates relationships between language, working memory, and…

Layes Smail; Gharaibeh Mahmoud; Djeribiai Adel – Reading Psychology, 2025
This study examined the independent contribution of morphological awareness and orthographic awareness in reading comprehension, controlling for working memory and reading fluency in Arabic-speaking children. Participants (N = 244) from grades four and five, were classified into typical comprehenders (n = 207) and poor comprehenders (n = 37). All…

Sofia Giazitzidou; Kyle Levesque; Hélène Deacon – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
The relation of morphological awareness with reading comprehension is well established. For this advance to inform instruction, the push is now on to understand how morphological awareness is related to reading comprehension. We address this question here by examining potential mechanisms. We do so with children in Grade 1, a time at which it is…

Selma Boz – European Journal of Psychology and Educational Research, 2024
This study investigates school-age children's arithmetic operations performance while solving larger-size problems which produces interferences in memory. Complex problems can trigger competing responses in working memory, which are irrelevant to a task goal and increase the likelihood of interference from previously learned problems (De Visscher…

Limited longitudinal studies have explored the development of reading, along with its predictors, in a language characterized by shallow orthography and a simple syllabic structure. In a 5-year longitudinal study, we investigated the development of reading skills in 327 Italian-speaking children (male: n = 180, 55%) from Grade 1 (mean age = 6.16 ±…

Georgios P. Georgiou; Aretousa Giannakou – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Although extensive research has focused on the perceptual abilities of second language (L2) learners, a significant gap persists in understanding how cognitive functions like phonological short-term memory (PSTM) and nonverbal intelligence (IQ) impact L2 speech perception. This study sets out to investigate the discrimination of L2 English…

Dora Jue Pan; Yingyi Liu; Mo Zheng; Connie Suk Han Ho; David J. Purpura; Catherine McBride; JingTong Ong – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
This study provides evidence connecting two aspects of visual-orthographic skills (orthographic awareness and delayed copying) to the common variance shared by Chinese word reading and arithmetic calculation, as well as in identifying positional knowledge of numbers as a potential mediator of these connections in Chinese primary school students (N…

We aimed to investigate the effects of phonological awareness -- PA, rapid automatised naming -- RAN, visuospatial and verbal working memory -- WM and executive functions -- EF on the reading and arithmetic skills of children with low- to medium-performance levels. Participants were 472 Brazilian children from 3rd to 5th grades. Quantile…

Haoyan Ge; Albert Kwing Lok Lee; Hoi Kwan Yuen; Fang Liu; Virginia Yip – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
This study investigated bilingualism effects on the production of focus in 5- to 9-year-old Cantonese-English bilingual autistic children's L1 Cantonese, compared to their monolingual autistic peers as well as monolingual and bilingual typically developing children matched in nonverbal IQ, working memory, receptive vocabulary and maternal…
