van der Kleij, Sanne W.; Rispens, Judith E.; Scheper, Annette R. – First Language, 2016
The aim of this study was to examine the influence of phonotactic probability (PP) and neighbourhood density (ND) on pseudoword learning in 17 Dutch-speaking typically developing children (mean age 7;2).

Ebersbach, Mirjam; Luwel, Koen; Verschaffel, Lieven – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2015
Children's estimation skills on a bounded and unbounded number line task were assessed in the light of their familiarity with numbers. Kindergartners, first graders, and second graders (N = 120) estimated the position of numbers on a 1--100 number line, marked with either two reference points (i.e., 1 and 10: unbounded condition) or three…
