Inhibitory Control and Verb Inflection in Italian Preschool Children
Gandolfi, Elena; Usai, Maria Carmen; Traverso, Laura; Viterbori, Paola
Journal of Child Language, v50 n4 p1005-1021 Jul 2023
The study investigates whether Italian verbal inflectional morphology is associated with inhibitory control skills after controlling for receptive vocabulary and verbal working memory. A sample of Italian preschoolers aged 4;0 to 6;0 was assessed using a standardized inhibitory control task tapping two different inhibitory skills (response inhibition and interference suppression), and a morphological task requiring simple and complex inflections of verbs. The hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that working memory and the interference suppression scores were significantly associated with complex inflections but not with simple inflections of the verbs.
