The auditory scaffolding hypothesis states that early experience with sound underpins the development of domain-general sequence processing abilities, supported by studies observing impaired sequence processing in deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) children. To test this hypothesis, we administered a sequence processing task to 77 DHH children who use…

How long it takes for bilingual children learning English as a second language (L2) to display similar abilities to monolingual age-peers has been estimated to be 4-6…

O'Shannessy, Carmel; Meakins, Felicity – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2012
Crosslinguistic influence has been seen in bilingual adult and child learners when compared to monolingual learners.

The corresponding constructions in Greek involved ambiguity appreciation, and tests of monoglots and bilinguals indicated that a…
