Dore, Rebecca A.; Liu, Xingfeiyue; Chaparro-Moreno, Leydi Johana; Justice, Laura M. – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2022
This study examined the dimensionality of caregivers' child-directed talk and the association of child directed talk and children's language skills at age of 3 years in a sample of 63 low-SES dyads in low-SES homes. Exploratory factor analysis identified that caregivers' child directed talk is characterized by two dimensions: quantity and…

Kachergis, George; Marchman, Virginia A.; Dale, Philip S.; Mankewitz, Jessica; Frank, Michael C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Measuring the growth of young children's vocabulary is important for researchers seeking to understand language learning as well as for clinicians aiming to identify early deficits. The MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs) are parent report instruments that offer a reliable and valid method for measuring early…

Duong, Phuong-Thao; Perez, Maribel Montero; Nguyen, Long Quoc; Desmet, Piet; Peters, Elke – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2023
The present study investigates the impact of meaningful input on L2 learners' vocabulary use and their fluency in oral performance (immediate and repeat tasks), as well as whether the effects are mediated by learners' prior vocabulary knowledge and working memory. Ninety university students learning English as a foreign language were randomly…

Kandemirci, Birsu; Theakston, Anna; Boeg Thomsen, Ditte; Brandt, Silke – Child Development, 2023
This study investigates the impact of evidentiality on source monitoring and the impact of source monitoring on false belief understanding (FBU), while controlling for short-term memory, age, gender, and receptive vocabulary. One hundred (50 girls) monolingual 3- and 4-year-olds from Turkey and the UK participated in the study in 2019. In Turkish,…

Pluta, Agnieszka; Krysztofiak, Magdalena; Zgoda, Malgorzata; Wysocka, Joanna; Golec, Karolina; Gajos, Katarzyna; Dolyk, Tadeusz; Wolak, Tomasz; Haman, Maciej – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2023
Previous studies have suggested that parents may support the development of theory of mind (ToM) in their child by talking about mental states (mental state talk; MST). However, MST has not been sufficiently explored in deaf children with cochlear implants (CIs). This study investigated ToM and availability of parental MST in deaf children with…

Ilyse Resnick; Tom Lowrie – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
We assessed the efficacy of two spatial learning programs grounded in early years learning pedagogical theory to improve numeracy performance in preschool. Engagement with a play-based spatial program led to better overall spatial reasoning and transferred to better numeracy compared with a business-as-usual control, underscoring the importance of…

Lee, Youngmee – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Phonological awareness (PA) skills are critical for spoken language acquisition and literacy. PA manifests in various skills that can be identified based on task performance and speech sound unit size. This study compared the PA skills of children with early cochlear implantation (E-CI), children with late cochlear implantation (L-CI),…

Theodore, Rachel M.; Monto, Nicholas R.; Graham, Stephen – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Speech perception is facilitated by listeners' ability to dynamically modify the mapping to speech sounds given systematic variation in speech input. For example, the degree to which listeners show categorical perception of speech input changes as a function of distributional variability in the input, with perception becoming less…

Nils Jaekel; Michael Schurig; Markus Ritter – Language Learning Journal, 2024
With the rapid implementation of early foreign language programmes in the state of North-Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, first for Grade 3 (ages 8-9 years) in 2003 and then from Grade 1 (ages 6-7 years) in 2008, primary school teachers had to adapt to teaching a foreign language in Grade 1 quickly. Teachers had little experience with language teaching…

Haluk O. Öngören; Anna Volodina – Reading Psychology, 2024
Academic language and its associations with school success have been established in many prior studies. However, the scholarship lacks research on the mechanisms that constitute these relations. This study investigates the mediating role of motivational-­affective variables, specifically reading self-concept and reading enjoyment, in relations…

Jessica Paynter; Kate O'Leary; Marleen Westerveld – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
We explored reading comprehension development in children on the spectrum from pre-school to the first (YOS1) and third year of schooling (YOS3). Children were first assessed on meaning-related skills in pre-school. Forty-one children completed follow-up assessments of reading comprehension, reading accuracy, and listening comprehension in YOS1.…

This study aimed to explore whether early developmental abilities are related to future executive function (EF) in children with motor delays. Fourteen children with motor delays (Mean age = 10.76, SD = 2.55) were included from a larger study. Object interaction and developmental outcomes (Bayley-III) were evaluated at baseline and 3, 6, and 12…

Classroom-level quality measures are widely used in early education settings but may mask important variation in learning experiences across children in the same classroom. This study investigates this possibility using detailed data from an observational measure of individual children's learning experiences--Individualizing Student Instruction…
