D'Alessio, María Josefina; Wilson, Maximiliano A.; Jaichenco, Virginia – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
Several studies in Spanish and other languages have shown that, in a lexical decision task, children are more likely to accept pseudowords with a known morphological structure as words as compared to non-morphological pseudowords. Morphology also facilitates visual word recognition of actual words in children with reading difficulties. In the…

Gadanidis, George; Clements, Erin; Yiu, Chris – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2018
In this article, we investigate the artistic puzzle of designing mathematics experiences (MEs) to engage young children with ideas of group theory, using a combination of hands-on and computational thinking (CT) tools. We elaborate on: (1) group theory and why we chose it as a context for young mathematicians' experiences with symmetry and…
