Irene Guevara; Cintia Rodríguez; María Núñez – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Research on gesture development has mostly focused on home environments. Little is known about early communicative development in other relevant contexts, such as early-year-schools. These settings, rich in diverse educative situations, objects, and communicative partners, provide a contrast to parent-child interactions, complementing our…

Yuyan Xue; John Williams – Language Learning, 2024
Can brief training on novel grammatical morphemes influence visual processing of nonlinguistic stimuli? If so, how deep is this effect? Here, an experimental group learned two novel morphemes highlighting the familiar concept of transitivity in sentences; a control group was exposed to the same input but with the novel morphemes used…

Sadoski, Mark; Lawrence, Beth – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
This article reviews the embodied theoretical basis for the meaningful learning of abstract vocabulary and reviews selected educational programs that are theoretically based and have both success and promise for abstract vocabulary development. Abstract vocabulary is a mainstay of academic vocabulary, but its nature and educational development are…

Sho Ohigashi; Shuhei Takagi; Yusuke Moriguchi – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2024
Emotion labels can be helpful for creating emotion categories. Russell and Widen (2002) demonstrated the label superiority effect; that is, emotion labels produce a more precise categorization of emotional faces than the corresponding emotional faces. The current study aimed to test the label superiority effect on emotional voices and examined…

Lawson-Adams, Jessica; Dickinson, David K. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2021
High-quality lexical representations are important for reading comprehension; however, prior research has focused primarily on the verbal aspects of these lexical representations. In this article, the authors argue for the importance of considering nonverbal representational elements of lexical knowledge and for more systematic attention to how…

Maulfry Worthington; Marjolein Dobber; Bert van Oers – Research Papers in Education, 2024
A fundamental question in early childhood mathematics concerns the relationship between young children's own informal signs and the formal abstract symbolic language of mathematics. This study presents research investigating the genesis of mathematical semiosis from a Vygotskian cultural-historical (social-semiotic) perspective. In this study we…

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…

Hanall Sung; Mitchell J. Nathan – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Collaborative learning, driven by knowledge co-construction and meaning negotiation, is a pivotal aspect of educational contexts. While gesture's importance in conveying shared meaning is recognized, its role in collaborative group settings remains understudied. This gap hinders accurate and equitable assessment and instruction, particularly for…

Lahti-Nuuttila, Pekka; Laasonen, Marja; Smolander, Sini; Kunnari, Sari; Arkkila, Eva; Service, Elisabet – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: The role of domain-general short-term memory (STM) in language development remains controversial. A previous finding from the HelSLI study on children with developmental language disorder (DLD) suggested that not only verbal but also non-verbal STM for temporal order is related to language acquisition in monolingual children with DLD.…

Kottmeyer, Alexa M.; Van Meter, Peggy N.; Cameron, Chelsea E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Relational reasoning, or the ability to identify meaningful patterns within streams of information, has emerged as an important factor in a variety of complex tasks. One factor that has received relatively little research attention, however, is how relational reasoning may be influenced by the representational systems (i.e., verbal or nonverbal)…

James Hummel – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This research explored the transformative potential of technology in special education, informed by the researcher's extensive experience in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Highlighting the case of a nonspeaking student with autism who made significant academic progress using an augmented alternate communication (AAC), device, the study…

Margarita Kilili-Lesta; Konstantinos Giannakou; Louiza Voniati – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and Aims: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) present with impairments in social interaction and stereotypic behaviors. About a third may exhibit delays in verbal expression beyond preschool age, potentially categorizing them as nonverbal/minimally verbal (NV/MV), a condition that can persist into adulthood and affect their…

Howard, Lauren H.; Woodward, Amanda L. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019
Agents are important for structuring memory in adulthood. However, it is unclear whether this "social memory bias" stems from a reliance on agents in verbal narratives, or whether it reflects more fundamental preverbal memory processes. By testing 9-month-old infants in a non-verbal eye-tracking paradigm, we were able to effectively…

Chow, Bonnie Wing-Yin – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
This study investigated the roles of associative learning and linguistic knowledge, in particular phonological and semantic knowledge, in word learning of Chinese readers using a cross-sectional design. Extending past research in associative learning using existing Chinese characters as word stimuli, this study resorted to pseudowords and invented…

Hearing Matters More than Seeing: A Cross-Modality Study of Statistical Learning and Reading Ability
Qi, Zhenghan; Sanchez Araujo, Yoel; Georgan, Wendy C.; Gabrieli, John D. E.; Arciuli, Joanne – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2019
There is growing interest in the link between implicit statistical learning (SL) and reading ability. Although learning to read involves both auditory and visual modalities, it is not known whether reading skills might be more strongly associated with auditory SL or visual SL. Here we assessed SL across both modalities in 36 typically developing…
