Pietro Spataro; Mara Morelli; Sabine Pirchio; Sara Costa; Emiddia Longobardi – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
This study investigated the executive functions (EF) of preschool children and their associations with emotional, linguistic, and cognitive skills, using parent and teacher reports. A total of 130 children aged 34 to 71 months participated. The preschool version of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF-P) was completed by both…

Adams, Anne-Marie; Soto-Calvo, Elena; Francis, Hannah N.; Patel, Hannah; Hartley, Courtney; Giofrè, David; Simmons, Fiona R. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Aspects of the preschool home learning environment which may foster reading development have been identified, although their relationships with spelling and writing remain unclear. The present study explored associations between the preschool home literacy environment (HLE), language and nonverbal abilities and children's spelling and writing…

Gordon, Rebecca; Santana De Morais, Danila; Whitelock, Emily; Mukarram, Arzoo – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: Developmental research provides considerable evidence of a strong relationship between verbal and visuospatial working memory (WM) and mathematics ability across age groups. However, little is known about how components of WM (i.e., short-term storage, processing speed, the central executive) might relate to mathematics sub-categories…

Larson, Caroline; Crespo, Kimberly; Kaushanskaya, Margarita; Ellis Weismer, Susan – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) have deficits in verbal and non-verbal processing relative to typically developing (TD) peers, potentially reflecting difficulties in working memory, processing speed and inhibition of interference. We examined working memory in children with DLD using the…

Selma Boz – European Journal of Psychology and Educational Research, 2024
This study investigates school-age children's arithmetic operations performance while solving larger-size problems which produces interferences in memory. Complex problems can trigger competing responses in working memory, which are irrelevant to a task goal and increase the likelihood of interference from previously learned problems (De Visscher…

Arutiunian, Vardan; Lopukhina, Anastasiya; Minnigulova, Alina; Shlyakhova, Anastasia; Davydova, Elizaveta; Pereverzeva, Darya; Sorokin, Alexander; Tyushkevich, Svetlana; Mamokhina, Uliana; Danilina, Kamilla; Dragoy, Olga – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The purpose of the present research was to comprehensively assess the language abilities of Russian primary-school-aged children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), varying in non-verbal IQ, at all linguistic levels (phonology, lexicon, morphosyntax, and discourse) in production and comprehension. Yet, the influence of such non-language factors…

Erin S. M. Matsuba; Beth A. Prieve; Emily Cary; Devon Pacheco; Angela Madrid; Elizabeth McKernan; Elizabeth Kaplan-Kahn; Natalie Russo – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study characterizes the subcortical auditory brainstem response (speech-ABR) and cortical auditory processing (P1 and Mismatch Negativity; MMN) to speech sounds and their relationship to autistic traits and sensory features within the same group of autistic children (n = 10) matched on age and non-verbal IQ to their typically developing (TD)…

James Hall; Gregory Palardy; Lars-Erik Malmberg – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2024
Whether intended by education policy (e.g., via school entrance examinations) or unintended (e.g., via social stratification), selection effects in education (who goes where, gets what, and how much) shape educational opportunities -- influencing the life chances of individuals and groups, and the structure of societies. However, within the…

Saletta Fitzgibbons, Meredith; Stein, Amy Buros – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2023
We inquired whether introducing variability into a word-learning task would facilitate, inhibit, or have a neutral effect on adults' speech production and language learning. Twenty young adults from the U.S. Midwest with typical development participated. They repeated four novel words 10 times sequentially (blocked practice) and another four novel…

Träff, Ulf; Skagerlund, Kenny; Östergren, Rickard; Skagenholt, Mikael – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: Children's numerical and arithmetic skills differ greatly already at an early age. Although research focusing on accounting for these large individual differences clearly demonstrates that mathematical performance draws upon several cognitive abilities, our knowledge concerning key abilities underlying mathematical skill development is…

Christiane Lingås Haukedal; Ona Bø Wie; Stefan K. Schauber; Janne von Koss Torkildsen – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine quality of life (QOL) and its relation to language skills in children with developmental language disorder (DLD). This was examined by comparing QOL to a control group of children with typical development (TD), as well as children with cochlear implants (CIs), who potentially struggle with language…

Simms, V.; Karmiloff-Smith, A.; Ranzato, E.; Van Herwegen, J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Previous studies suggest that tasks dependent on the mental number line may be difficult for Williams Syndrome (WS) and Down Syndrome (DS) groups. However, few have directly assessed number line estimation in these groups. The current study assessed 28 WS, 25 DS and 25 typically developing (TD) participants in non-verbal intelligence, number…

Martin Dale-Hench – Sign Language Studies, 2024
This article explores turn-taking in Japanese Sign Language ( JSL) by using Baker's (1977) framework. JSL as a language is wholly unrelated to American Sign Language (ASL), but because Baker and other discourse analysts have always been concerned mostly with ASL and European sign languages, it remains to be seen if Asian sign languages such as JSL…

Sophie Bouton; Coralie Chevallier; Aminata Hallimat Cissé; Barbara Heude; Pierre O. Jacquet – Developmental Science, 2024
During human childhood, brain development and body growth compete for limited metabolic resources, resulting in a trade-off where energy allocated to brain development can decrease as body growth accelerates. This preregistered study explores the relationship between language skills, serving as a proxy for brain development, and body mass index at…

Shin, Sangeun; Park, HyunJu – Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 2022
To identify the relationship between non-verbal working memory and graphic symbol selection, this study examined whether the response time to select target symbols in a sentence construction task differed between two groups: a high non-verbal working memory group and a low non-verbal working memory group. The interaction effect between non-verbal…
