Elinor Saiegh-Haddad; Rachel Schiff – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
This study investigates the role of diglossic and orthographic features in reading comprehension in Arabic. Specifically, it probes the independent contribution of language, metalinguistic, and decoding skills in the spoken language and in Standard Arabic to reading comprehension in the "abjad" writing system of Arabic. A sample of 112…

Cabell, Sonia Q. – American Educator, 2023
Although the focus in the early grades is often on teaching young children how to read, the ultimate goal of reading is to understand the text--whether to learn new information or simply enjoy a story. Building the groundwork needed for this understanding starts right from the beginning of life--and it's essential from the beginning of school.…

Cristina de-la-Peña – Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research, 2024
Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill to be developed from the early stages of reading acquisition and it is essential for both formative and personal learning. This study examines eye-tracking as a useful and complementary tool in the assessment and improvement of implicit reading comprehension. The aim is to understand the role of…

Fatma Costu – European Journal of Education, 2024
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the Predict-Explain-Observe-Discuss-Explain (PEODE)-based laboratory on enhancing the verbal and figural creativity of gifted students. The quasi-experimental research design utilised a pre- and post-test approach with a non-equivalent control group, consisting of 60 sixth-grade gifted students.…

Babic Cikeš, Ana; Cakic, Lara; Kuti, Vedrana – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2023
The changed sentence: The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Emotion Matching Task (EMT) in a sample of Croatian preschool children. The Croatian version of the EMT was applied to 198 children (52% female), together with measures of verbal ability and social competence. The internal structure of the test, as…

Karla K. McGregor; Ron Pomper; Nichole Eden; Margo Appenzeller; Timothy Arbisi-Kelm; Elaina Polese; Deborah K. Reed – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the ability of children with developmental language disorder (DLD) to infer word class and meaning from text and to document variations by word class (noun, verb, adjective) and modality (listening, reading). We also asked whether the children could integrate global cues across the entire passage as…

Wang, Zhenlin; Wang, Lamei; Gao, Xiaozi; Zhu, Liqi – Journal for the Study of Education and Development, 2023
This study examined the cognitive predictors and constraints of children's strategic offers in the Ultimatum Game. The Ultimatum Game is a one-shot negotiation on the division of a given sum of rewards between two people, where the receiver has the right to punish the proposer by rejecting unfair offers, which results in nil reward for either…

Wan, Sirui; Lauermann, Fani; Bailey, Drew H.; Eccles, Jacquelynne S. – Child Development, 2023
Dimensional comparisons (i.e., comparing own performances across domains) may drive an increasing differentiation in students' math and verbal self-concepts over time, but little longitudinal research has directly tested this assumption. Using cross-sequential data spanning Grades 1-12 (N = 1069, ages 6-18, 92% White, 2% Black, 51% female,…

Tian, Jing; Ren, Kexin; Newcombe, Nora S.; Weinraub, Marsha; Vandell, Deborah Lowe; Gunderson, Elizabeth A. – Developmental Science, 2023
Despite some gains, women continue to be underrepresented in many science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Using a national longitudinal dataset of 690 participants born in 1991, we tested whether spatial skills, measured in middle childhood, would help explain this gender gap. We modeled the relation between 4th-grade spatial…

M. O'Donoghue; A. O'Dea; N. O'Leary; N. Kennedy; J. Forbes; C. A. Murphy – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
In peer-mediated intervention (PMI), peers act as agents of intervention. Previous reviews in this area have not addressed the effectiveness of using PMI with children with autism who are minimally verbal. Following a systematic search, we reviewed 25 studies where PMI was used to increase communication in minimally verbal participants. The…

Jacob, Lisa; Dörrenbächer, Sandra; Perels, Franziska – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
During preschool age, three precursors to self-regulated learning (SRL) can be identified: general self-regulation ability, speech competence, and executive functioning. There is evidence for a large interindividual heterogeneity in these precursors which may have an impact on the development of SRL. This study (a) examined heterogeneity in SRL…

LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Skwarchuk, Sheri-Lynn; Sowinski, Carla; Cankaya, Ozlem – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
What is the foundational knowledge that children rely on to provide meaning as they construct an exact symbolic number system? People and animals can quickly and accurately distinguish small exact quantities (i.e., 1 to 3). One possibility is that children's ability to map small quantities to spoken number words supports their developing exact…

Wolff, Fabian; Sticca, Fabio; Niepel, Christoph; Götz, Thomas; Van Damme, Jan; Möller, Jens – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Two longitudinal extensions of the classic internal/external frame of reference model (I/EM) have attracted researchers' attention in recent years: The reciprocal I/EM (RI/EM) describes the reciprocal effects between students' math and verbal achievements and self-concepts. The 2I/EM describes the effects of students' math and verbal achievement…

Rivella, Carlotta; Cornoldi, Cesare; Caviola, Sara; Giofrè, David – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
It has been suggested that not only domain-specific factors but also working memory (WM) may play a crucial role in mathematical learning included Geometry, but the issue has not been deeply explored. In the present study, we examined the role of domain-specific factors and of verbal versus visuospatial WM on geometric learning of a new…

Giuseppe Iandolo; Miguel Aroca-Salom; Ángeles Esteban; Gustavo Gonzalez-Cuevas; Cristina Alonso-Campuzano – SAGE Open, 2024
During childhood, teachers' perception of students' behavioral and academic performance, as well as storytelling and verbal fluency are of special relevance for reaching cognitive developmental milestones. However, little is still known about the interplay between these factors for students' success. This investigation aimed at exploring narrative…
