Martin, Randi C.; Crowther, Jason E.; Knight, Meredith; Tamborello, Franklin P., II; Yang, Chin-Lung – Cognition, 2010
Controversy remains as to the scope of advanced planning in language production. Smith and Wheeldon (1999) found significantly longer onset latencies when subjects described moving-picture displays by producing sentences beginning with a complex noun phrase than for matched sentences beginning with a simple noun phrase. While these findings are…

The number of native Arabic-speaking students coming to America to study English in university programs has grown over the past few years, and continues to be substantial.

This dissertation is a typological study of verb-final languages, the purpose of which is to examine various grammatical phenomena in verb-final languages to discover whether there are correlations between the final position of the verb and other aspects of grammar. It examines how finality of the verb interacts with argument coding in simple…

Baddeley, Alan; Allen, Richard; Vargha-Khadem, Faraneh – Neuropsychologia, 2010
A series of experiments test the recent claim that the hippocampus is necessary for the binding of features in working memory. Some potential limitations of studies underlying this claim are discussed, and an attempt is made to further test the hypothesis by studying a case of developmental amnesia whose extensively investigated pathology appears…

Cromley, Jennifer G.; Snyder-Hogan, Lindsey E.; Luciw-Dubas, Ulana A. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2010
Ainsworth's (2006) DeFT framework posits that different representations may lead learners to use different strategies. We wanted to investigate whether students use different strategies, and more broadly, different cognitive activities in diagrams vs. in running text. In order to do so, we collected think-aloud protocol and other measures from 91…

Elqayam, Shira; Ohm, Eyvind; St. B. T. Evans, Jonathan; Over, David E. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2010
In this paper we examine the way disjunctive choices work in conversational context. We focus on disjunctive deontic rules, such as "you must either submit an essay or attend an exam". According to the Gricean "maxim of orderliness", a derivative of the "maxim of manner", people should interpret the first-mentioned…

Perfors, Amy; Tenenbaum, Joshua B.; Wonnacott, Elizabeth – Journal of Child Language, 2010
We present a hierarchical Bayesian framework for modeling the acquisition of verb argument constructions. It embodies a domain-general approach to learning higher-level knowledge in the form of inductive constraints (or overhypotheses), and has been used to explain other aspects of language development such as the shape bias in learning object…

Sloane, David E. E. – English Language Teaching, 2009
X-Word Grammar provides an editing technique for students that is more reliable than trying to identify sentences as complete thoughts. A sentence is redefined as "a group of words that can be turned into a yes-no question with no words left over; starts with a capital letter, and ends with a terminal punctuation mark." Twenty auxiliary…

Wheeldon, Linda R.; Smith, Mark C.; Apperly, Ian A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
An online picture description methodology was used to investigate the interaction between lexical and syntactic information in spoken sentence production. In response to arrays of moving pictures, participants generated prepositional sentences, such as "The apple moves towards the dog," as well as coordinate noun phrase sentences, such…

National assessment data indicate that the large majority of students in America perform below expected proficiency levels in the area of writing. Given the importance of writing skills, this is a significant problem. Curriculum-based measurement, when used for progress monitoring and intervention planning, has been shown to lead to improved…
