Richenda Wright; Salomé Geertsema; Mia Le Roux; Elodie Winckel; Ewa Dabrowska – Reading & Writing: Journal of the Literacy Association of South Africa, 2024
Background: Language analytic ability is well researched in the context of foreign language acquisition but its role in the acquisition of grammar in the native language is under investigation. Objectives: Our study explored the influence of language analytic ability and print exposure on receptive grammar and reading comprehension in childhood.…

Elena Gandolfi; Giovanna Diotallevi; Paola Viterbori – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study examined the language and nonverbal inhibitory control skills of Italian monolingual and bilingual typically developing (TD) preschoolers with Italian as their second language and of age-matched monolingual and bilingual peers with developmental language disorder (DLD). Method: Four groups of preschoolers were enrolled: 30 TD…

Prescott, Kathryn E.; Ellis Weismer, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study investigated receptive and expressive language outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with and without a history of language/communication regression, employing three progressively less stringent definitions of regression. Data were derived from a large, longitudinal sample of children with ASD in which regression was…

The goal of this study was to track the progress of Italian children at risk for school failure enrolled in preschools based on the Reggio-Emilia approach. Risk factors considered included family socioeconomic status (SES), child receptive language, and child gender. Participants were 211 children (Mage = 60.8 months, 116 girls) in Reggio-inspired…

The present study examines the effectiveness of play therapy (based on the cognitive-behavioural approach) and puppet play therapy in expressive\ receptive language disorders of the studied population. Here, we imported 45 female bilingual preschool children to our research. Their expressive\ receptive language disorders have been approved…

Rebecca E. Winter; Heidrun Stoeger; Sebastian P. Suggate – First Language, 2024
A growing body of research suggests that fine motor skills (FMS) are associated with language development. In this study, we examined 76 children aged 3-6 years assessing the link between language and FMS. Specific measures included receptive and expressive vocabulary, oral narrative skills, and various fine motor tasks. Hierarchical linear…

Tsao, Chih-Hsuan; Lai, Ya-Hsin; Chen, Yu-Ling; Wang, Hsiao-Lan Sharon – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2023
Numerous studies have evidenced the relationship between musical rhythm and language performances, derived from temporal acoustic signal processing. This relationship might be affected by different language experiences. Receptive and expressive vocabulary knowledge, phonological awareness, and musical rhythm perception and production were examined…

Artis, Jonet; Arunachalam, Sudha – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The goal of this work was to examine the semantic and syntactic properties of the vocabularies of autistic and non-autistic infants and toddlers to see if children in these two groups know different kinds of words. We focused on both receptive and expressive vocabularies. For expressive vocabulary, we looked only at the "active"…

Max R. Freeman – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: Children's vocabulary and syntactic skills vary upon school entry in depth and breadth, persistently influencing academic performance, including reading. Enhancing early communicative abilities through multisensory, playful, and conversational experiences is essential and will benefit children's school readiness. This study investigated…

Baltzaki, Maria; Chlapana, Elissavet – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
The aim of the present study was to compare the impact of two different didactic techniques, blended teaching and teaching by the exclusive use of ICT, on preschool children's vocabulary development. Additional aim of the present study was to investigate whether the impact of the two didactic techniques is differentiated by several language and…

Madigan, Sheri; Plamondon, André; Jenkins, Jennifer M. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Observational studies have shown that caregiver sensitivity predicts child language skills. These studies, however, have entirely relied on between-family designs (single parent-child dyad per family), which cannot rule out the contribution of shared family confounds (e.g., genetics, books in home). The current study investigates whether observed…

Knowland, Victoria C. P.; Berens, Sam; Gaskell, M. Gareth; Walker, Sarah A.; Henderson, Lisa-Marie – Journal of Child Language, 2022
Children's vocabulary ability at school entry is highly variable and predictive of later language and literacy outcomes. Sleep is potentially useful in understanding and explaining that variability, with sleep patterns being predictive of global trajectories of language acquisition. Here, we looked to replicate and extend these findings. Data from…

This study examines the effectiveness of animated movies (AM) in increasing students' vocabulary and determines what students think about English language learning in Pakistan. Particularly in the education field, vocabulary is an essential factor for foreign language learning in academic achievements. This research aimed to determine whether…

Hauschild, Kathryn M.; Pomales-Ramos, Anamiguel; Strauss, Mark S. – Developmental Science, 2021
Visual attention measures of receptive vocabulary place minimal task demand on participants and produce a more accurate measure of language comprehension than parent report measures. However, current gaze-based measures employ visual comparisons limited to two simultaneous items. With this limitation, the degree of similarity of the target to the…

Cinar, Eda; Chaput-Langlois, Sophie; Fitzpatrick, Caroline; Garon-Carrier, Gabrielle – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
This study investigates how individual-level factors contribute to classroom engagement variations of boys and girls across the elementary school years. Classroom engagement was assessed four times between the ages of 7 and 12 years in a large, representative population-based sample (N = 877) using latent growth modeling. Predictors included the…
