Manuel Bohn; Wilson Filipe da Silva Vieira; Marta Giner Torréns; Joscha Kärtner; Shoji Itakura; Lília Cavalcante; Daniel Haun; Moritz Köster; Patricia Kanngiesser – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Children all over the world learn language, yet the contexts in which they do so vary substantially. This variation needs to be systematically quantified to build robust and generalizable theories of language acquisition. We compared communicative interactions between parents and their 2-year-old children (N = 99 families) during mealtime across…

Ellen J. Serafini; Sara I. Roca-Ramirez – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2024
Previous research has proposed a crucial role for critical experiences in language learning to better understand how learners understand and discursively construct their self-concept (Mercer, 2011, 2016; Serafini, 2020a; Thompson, 2020). However, studies have mainly explored critical experiences in the narratives of foreign language learners of…

The study evaluated whether the direction (inhibitory or facilitative) of the phonological neighborhood density effect in English spoken word recognition was modulated by the relative strength of competitor activation (neighborhood type) in two groups of English-dominant learners of Spanish who differed in language experience. Classroom learners…

Real-time attention coordination in parent-toddler dyads is often studied in tightly controlled laboratory settings. These studies have demonstrated the importance of joint attention in scaffolding the development of attention and the types of dyadic behaviors that support early language learning. Little is known about how often these behaviors…

Daniil Gnetov; Victor Kuperman – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Research on first language (L1) reading has long since established the link between the proficiency of the reader and their efficiency in oculomotor control. More proficient readers make longer saccades and land closer to the word's center, which is a word's optimal viewing position, and make fewer refixations. Eye-tracking studies of second…

Tetyana Sydorenko; Mónica S. Cárdenas-Claros; Elizabeth Huntley; Maribel Montero Perez – Language Learning & Technology, 2024
A substantial body of research shows that various types of audiovisual (AV) input such as videos and videos with second language (L2) subtitles can facilitate language learning. However, language teachers' day-to-day practices with regard to multimodal input is less understood. To bridge the gap in language education, this study investigates…

Holmes, Emma; Johnsrude, Ingrid S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Understanding speech in adverse conditions is affected by experience--a familiar voice is substantially more intelligible than an unfamiliar voice when competing speech is present, even if the content of the speech (the words) are controlled. This familiar-voice benefit is observed consistently, but its underpinnings are unclear: Do familiar…

Morán, Norma; Torres, Franklin C. – Odyssey: New Directions in Deaf Education, 2020
Despite different childhood experiences--primarily differences centered around language access--the authors share stories of growing up in large Spanish-speaking families with a strong sense of cultural identity and values. Now as they raise three children together, this is what they want for them as well--a sense of cultural identity and pride,…

Quesada, Teresa; Lozano, Cristóbal – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020
Referential expressions (REs) have been investigated in L2 English but to date there is no single study that systematically and simultaneously analyzes the development and acquisition of the multiple factors that constrain the choice of REs in natural discourse production. We investigate L1 Spanish-L2 English learners across three proficiency…

Pace, Amy; Luo, Rufan; Levine, Dani; Iglesias, Aquiles; de Villiers, Jill; Golinkoff, Roberta M.; Wilson, Mary S.; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – Grantee Submission, 2020
This study investigated the relation between Dual Language Learners' (N = 90) vocabulary and grammar comprehension and word learning processes in preschool (aged 3-through-5 years). Of interest was whether: (1) performance in Spanish correlated with performance in English within each domain; and (2) comprehension predicted novel word learning…

This study examined individual-level variability in N400 and P600 ERP correlates of native and nonnative language sentence processing of semantic and grammar information. Twenty-six native English-speaking learners of Spanish as a second language were tested. Participants completed sentence reading tasks in English and Spanish during EEG…
