Phillip Hamrick; Christopher A. Was; Yin Zhang – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
A growing body of evidence demonstrates that individual differences in declarative memory may be an important predictor of second language (L2) abilities. However, the evidence comes from studies using different declarative memory tasks that vary in their reliance on verbal abilities and task demands, which preclude estimating the size of the…

Bose, Arpita; Patra, Abhijeet; Antoniou, Georgia Eleftheria; Stickland, Rachael C.; Belke, Eva – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Verbal fluency tasks are routinely used in clinical assessment and research studies of aphasia. People with aphasia produce fewer items in verbal fluency tasks. It remains unclear if their output is limited solely by their lexical difficulties and/or has a basis in their executive control abilities. Recent research has illustrated that…

One of the best-known and most frequently used measures of creative idea generation is the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT). The TTCT Verbal, assessing verbal ideation, contains two forms created to be used interchangeably by researchers and practitioners. However, the parallel forms reliability of the two versions of the TTCT Verbal has…

Matt I. Brown; Patrick R. Heck; Christopher F. Chabris – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The Social Shapes Test (SST) is a measure of social intelligence which does not use human faces or rely on extensive verbal ability. The SST has shown promising validity among adults without autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but it is uncertain whether it is suitable for adults with ASD. We find measurement invariance between adults with (n = 229)…

Rosen, Alexis S.; Hirst, Rayna B.; Brown, Colin C.; Arastu, Sana F.; Hedbabny, Katharine – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Research has begun to investigate the reliability of cannabis-intoxicated eyewitnesses; however, no studies have evaluated eyewitness memory among chronic cannabis users after a minimum 24-h abstinence. This study compared cannabis users' (n = 23) and nonusers' (n = 26) eyewitness recall/identification and investigated the relationship between…

Vitrano, Deana; Altarriba, Jeanette; Leblebici-Basar, Deniz – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2021
S.A. Mednick (1962) proposed a theory of creativity suggesting that highly creative individuals can produce more word associations to a stimulus than less creative individuals. Numerous studies have supported this theory using the Remote Associates Test (RAT) as the measure of creativity. Additionally, some studies have suggested that…

Giovannoli, Jasmine; Martella, Diana; Casagrande, Maria – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Bilingualism is widespread and being bilingual is more common than being monolingual. The lifelong practice bilinguals receive from managing two languages seems to lead to a cognitive benefit. Conversely, bilingualism seems to affect language ability negatively due to less use of each known language. Aims: This systematic review aims…

Erbeli, Florina; Peng, Peng; Rice, Marianne – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Research on the question of creative benefit accompanying dyslexia has produced conflicting findings. In this meta-analysis, we determined summary effects of mean and variance differences in creativity between groups with and without dyslexia. Twenty studies were included (n = 770 individuals with dyslexia, n = 1,671 controls). A random-effects…

Song, Xue-Ke; Lee, Cassandra; So, Wing-Chee – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Phenotypical heterogeneity in language abilities is a hallmark of autism but remains poorly understood. The present study collected naturalistic language samples from parent-child interactions. We quantified verbal abilities (mean length of utterance, tokens, types) of 50 Chinese-speaking children (M = 5; 6) and stratified subgroups based on their…

Wolff, Fabian; Möller, Jens – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
Dimensional comparisons between math and verbal achievements affect students' academic self-concepts by increasing (decreasing) students' self-concept in the subject with their intraindividual higher (lower) achievement. Dimensional comparison theory assumes that dimensional comparisons are also triggered by external influences. The present…

Zahra Neshatian; Mohammad Saber Khaghaninejad – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
This study scrutinized the effects of words' superiority, regularity, frequency and length on the intermediate and advanced EFL learner's visual word recognition. Moreover, it attempted to check whether each of these parameters could be statistically a significant predictor on recognition tasks. Accordingly, 118 intermediate and 127 advanced adult…

Takumi Kosaka – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2023
The present study investigated the impact of chunk reading training (CRT) on the online syntactic processing and verbal working memory (WM) of Japanese EFL (English as a foreign language) learners in secondary school. For four weeks, the treatment group (N = 31) underwent CRT, while the control group (N = 25) participated in reading training in…
