Lindau, Berit; Topolinski, Sascha – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
People prefer words with inward directed consonantal patterns (e.g., MENIKA) compared to outward patterns (KENIMA), because inward (outward) articulation movements resemble positive (negative) mouth actions such as swallowing (spitting). This effect might rely on covert articulation simulations, or subvocalizations, since it occurs also under…

Macedonia, Manuela – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2014
This study investigates the role of perception and sensory motor learning on speech production in L2. Compared to natural language learning, acoustic input in formal adult instruction is deprived of multiple sensory motor cues and lacks the imitation component. Consequently, it is possible that inaccurate pronunciation results from training.…

Grünloh, Thomas; Lieven, Elena; Tomasello, Michael – Language Learning and Development, 2015
In the current study we investigate whether 2- and 3-year-old German children use intonation productively to mark the informational status of referents. Using a story-telling task, we compared children's and adults' intonational realization via pitch accent (H*, L* and de-accentuation) of New, Given, and Contrastive referents. Both children and…

Kambas, A.; Venetsanou, F.; Giannakidou, D.; Fatouros, I. G.; Avloniti, A.; Chatzinikolaou, A.; Draganidis, D.; Zimmer, R. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Given the negative influence of motor difficulties on people's quality of life their early identification seems to be crucial and consequently the information provided by a sound assessment tool is of great importance. The aim of this study was to examine the suitability of the MOT 4-6 (Zimmer & Volkamer, 1987) for use with preschoolers in…
