Adamidou, Christina; Okalidou, Areti; Fourakis, Marios; Printza, Athanasia; Kyriafinis, Georgios – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: ?he lexical stress pattern (trochaic vs. iambic) may affect various aspects of word learning and word production in children with cochlear implants (CIs). This study aimed to investigate lexical stress effects in word learning by Greek-speaking children with CIs. Method: A word learning paradigm, consisting of a word production and a word…

Dündar-Coecke, Selma; Tolmie, Andrew – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2020
Verbal and nonverbal forms of thinking exhibit widespread dissociation at neural and behavioral level. The importance of this for children's causal thinking and its implications for school science are largely unknown. Assessing 5- to 10-year-olds' responses (N = 231), verbal ability predicted causal reasoning, but only at lower levels, while…

Simpson, Ian Craig; Moreno-Pérez, Francisco Javier; Rodríguez-Ortiz, Isabel de los Reyes; Valdés-Coronel, Marta; Saldaña, David – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
Reading comprehension is a complex task requiring many underlying skills. Syntactic awareness and morphological awareness are two such skills that have been shown to be related to reading comprehension. However, the majority of studies have been carried out in English, and very few have explored these skills in monolingual Spanish speaking…

Muller, Kristen; Brady, Nancy C.; Fleming, Kandace K. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
The primary aim of this study was to evaluate and compare alternative modalities and stimuli used to measure receptive vocabulary skills in autistic children who are minimally verbal. This study systematically compared participants' outcomes on three different receptive vocabulary assessment conditions: a low-tech assessment that used a stimulus…

Chen, Xiaomeng; Lu, Minghui; Bu, Wenfeng; Wang, Li; Wang, Yuru; Xu, Yulin; Zhong, Mingbo – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2021
Introduction: Numerous studies have investigated the use of Wechsler tests on individuals with visual impairments. However, few studies have examined the utilization of the fourth edition of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV) for such individuals. This study investigated the reliability and validity of the WISC-IV Verbal…

Antzaka, Alexia; Acha, Joana; Carreiras, Manuel; Lallier, Marie – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
The goal of the paper was to investigate whether morphological units -- stems and suffixes -- influence orthographic processing by modulating visual attention demands to the task. Orthographic processing was measured with a visual one-back task requiring letters to be detected within pseudowords not including stems/suffixes, or containing real…

Mervis, Carolyn B.; Greiner de Magalhães, Caroline; Cardoso-Martins, Cláudia – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
We examined the cognitive, language, and instructional factors associated with reading ability in Williams syndrome (WS). Seventy 9-year-olds with WS completed standardized measures of real-word reading, pseudoword decoding, reading comprehension, phonological skills, listening comprehension, nonverbal reasoning, visual-spatial ability, verbal…

Salomone, Erica; Bulgarelli, Daniela; Thommen, Evelyne; Rossini, Emanuelle; Molina, Paola – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2019
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by impairments in social communication and social cognition. Difficulties in emotion understanding, from emotion recognition to emotion regulation are common features that can affect the inclusion process. One outstanding question is the extent to which age and IQ affect…

Carlsson, Emilia; Åsberg Johnels, Jakob; Gillberg, Christopher; Miniscalco, Carmela – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
Recent research has suggested that temporal sequencing of narrative events might be a domain-general ability that underlies oral narrative capacities. The current study investigated this issue in a group of children with known pragmatic and narrative difficulties, namely Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We hypothesized (1) that children with ASD (n…

Lancaster, Hope Sparks; Li, Jing; Gray, Shelley – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between selective visual attention (SVA), reading decoding, listening comprehension and reading comprehension in children with and without a reading disorder. Methods: We used longitudinal data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. We split children into four…

McGonigle-Chalmers, Maggie; McCrohan, Fiona – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2018
Objectives: The aim of the study is to help identify the nature of impaired executive functioning (EF) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is also argued that participant sampling by age alone should inform experimental research on EF, as selection through IQ matching may weaken any experimental effects. Methods: Sixteen children…

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…

Wilson, C. Ellie; Saldaña, David – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
The ability to disengage attention and reengage elsewhere has been proposed as a fundamental deficit in the autism spectrum, potentially disrupting development of higher cognitive domains. Eye-movements were recorded while 16 autism spectrum children of mixed ability, and 18 typically developing age-matched controls, completed the Gap-Overlap…

Neuvonen, Kirsi A.; Launonen, Kaisa; Smith, Martine M.; Stadskleiv, Kristine; von Tetzchner, Stephen – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2022
Describing events may be challenging for any child, but children who use communication aids may face unique linguistic, pragmatic, and strategic challenges in conveying information with the communication means they have available. This study explores strategies used by young, aided communicators when describing the content of a video unknown to…

Chen, Fei; Zhang, Kaile; Guo, Qingqing; Lv, Jia – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore when and how Mandarin-speaking children use contextual cues to normalize speech variability in perceiving lexical tones. Two different cognitive mechanisms underlying speech normalization (lower level acoustic normalization and higher level acoustic-phonemic normalization) were investigated through the…
