Students' understanding of the meaning of the equal sign develops slowly over the primary grades. In addition to updating their representations of equations to recognize that the equal sign represents an equivalence relation rather than signaling an operation, students need to move beyond full computation to efficiently solve equivalence problems.…

Maria Julia Hermida; Eliana Ruetti; Sebastián Javier Lipina; Maria Soledad Segretin – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Child temperament is a predictor of non-verbal ability (i.e. thinking and problem-solving skills that do not fundamentally require verbal language production and comprehension). Given that temperament scores might vary depending on whether the reporter is a parent or a teacher, this study analyses (a) whether those reports are different and (b)…

Jamie Linert; Lizbeth H. Finestack; Leonard Abbeduto – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: The current study addresses a gap in the literature regarding syntactic development of adolescent boys with fragile X syndrome (FXS) and Down syndrome (DS). Specifically, we ask whether syntactic skills plateau or continue to change during adolescence for these groups and whether the profile of syntactic change differs between boys with…

Sofia Giazitzidou; Kyle Levesque; Hélène Deacon – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
The relation of morphological awareness with reading comprehension is well established. For this advance to inform instruction, the push is now on to understand how morphological awareness is related to reading comprehension. We address this question here by examining potential mechanisms. We do so with children in Grade 1, a time at which it is…

Moore, Heather L.; Rogan, Leanne; Taylor, Lauren J.; Charman, Tony; Le Couteur, Ann; Green, Jonathan; Grahame, Victoria – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
A wealth of parent-report research shows adaptive functioning difficulties in autistic children, with parent-report influenced by a number of child factors. Adaptive functioning in autistic children is known to vary across settings; however, no research has yet explored factors influencing education professional-report. This study investigated the…

Hasnain, Fahad; Herran, Reid M.; Henning, Shirley C.; Ditmars, Allison M.; Pisoni, David B.; Sehgal, Susan T.; Kronenberger, William G. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Verbal fluency tasks assess the ability to quickly and efficiently retrieve words from the mental lexicon by requiring subjects to rapidly generate words within a phonological or semantic category. This study investigated differences between cochlear implant users and normal-hearing peers in the clustering and time course of word…

Jin, Fufen; Schjølberg, Synnve; Eadie, Patricia; Bang Nes, Ragnhild; Barbo Valand, Stian; Røysamb, Espen; Vulchanova, Mila – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Despite accumulated evidence that language development depends on basic cognitive processes, the balance in contributions of verbal and non-verbal cognitive skills to language abilities is still underexplored. Little is known about which cognitive measures best predict the degree of severity in children with language disorder (LD).…

Helena Legaz-Torregrosa; Francisco H. Machancoses; Kris Buyse; M. Carmen Fonseca-Mora – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
Skilled adult readers are those who read fluently, but multilingual learners do not always exhibit the same reading proficiency in the different languages they know. Among the variables that influence learners' silent reading fluency, a research trend points to musical aptitude as an individual ability that affects language learners' reading…

Shi-huan Wang; Qing Zhou; Kai-yun Chen; Chao-qun Ceng; Guo-dong Zhan; Cong You; Yu Xing; Yuan-yuan Zou; Hong-zhu Deng – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study aimed to investigate the gap between adaptive functioning and cognitive functioning, especially verbal and nonverbal intelligence quotient (IQ) in Chinese children with ASD. We systematically explored cognitive functioning, ASD severity, early signs of developmental abnormalities, and socioeconomic factors as mediating factors of…

Bialystok, Ellen; Shorbagi, Sadek Hefni – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
In contrast to research that examines the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) and bilingualism on development by comparing clearly disparate groups, the present study investigated the role of subtle differences in these experiences for their joint impact on performance on a verbal fluency task and an executive function (EF) task. The study…

Xu, Zhengye; Liu, Duo – Educational Psychology, 2022
The current study investigated perceptual simulation and its relationship with literacy ability in Chinese children. Ninety-three third-grade Hong Kong Chinese children completed a sentence-picture verification task for perceptual simulation. In this task, a sentence mentioning an object was presented first, followed by a picture involving the…

Chung, Wei-Lun; Yang, Hui-Chun – Infant and Child Development, 2022
The study examined storytelling prosody (i.e., prosodic variations in retelling a story) and the relation with oral language in Taiwanese preschool children. One hundred and twenty-eight preschool children aged 4 and 5 were recruited and given the following tasks: nonverbal intelligence, vocabulary, syntax, and storytelling prosody. Children's…

Xie, Ruibo; Fang, Yuanyuan; Wu, Xinchun; Nguyen, Thi Phuong – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Children's idiom comprehension is an important aspect of language development. Idioms have both literal and figurative meanings, and there are often great differences between literal meaning and figurative meaning, which brings great difficulties to children's accurate understanding of idioms. As a kind of underlying language ability,…

Pan, Dora Jue; Lin, Dan – Language Learning, 2023
In this study, we investigated the direct and indirect associations of different cognitive-linguistic skills and Chinese reading comprehension in Hong Kong kindergarteners. We assessed 179 children's nonverbal IQ, cognitive-linguistic skills, word reading, listening comprehension, and reading comprehension. Results showed significant correlations…

C.-Y. Yvonne Lai; P. S. Ng; Alice H. D. Chan; Francis C. K. Wong – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: This study examines the effects of an auditory training program on the auditory and cognitive abilities of older adults. Auditory rehabilitation programs are generally designed for hearing aid users, and studies have demonstrated benefits for them. In this study, we seek to understand whether such a training program can also benefit older…
