Julien Dirani – ProQuest LLC, 2024
What is the nature of conceptual representations? Models of semantic memory often describe concepts as a distributed feature space. However, it remains unknown which subset of this feature space constitutes the invariant representation of a concept. In this dissertation, I investigate the nature of modality-independent representations and their…

Johanna R. Price; Emily C. Biebesheimer; Kong Chen – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: Gender differences in the written language of autistic individuals are an overlooked but important area of research. We contend that the gender differences in spoken language of autistic individuals may extend to written language, mirroring the gender differences of writing in the general population and reflecting the shared…

Carla H. Consolini; Kristopher Kyle – Applied Linguistics, 2024
Research has demonstrated that features of lexical and lexicogrammatical use are important predictors of productive second language (L2) proficiency (e.g. Kyle et al. 2018). While some features of lexical use have been studied with L2s other than English (e.g. Tracy-Ventura 2017), multivariate lexical and lexicogrammatical approaches in these L2s…

Wang, Jie; Cheng, Leqi; Maurer, Urs; Chen, Hsuan-Chih – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Most Chinese characters comprise radicals that are embedded in a specific structure (e.g., left-right structure like [Chinese characters omitted], or top-bottom structure like [Chinese characters omitted]). We investigated the representations of word-form units (i.e., radicals) in planning Chinese handwritten production. Adopting the picture-word…

Yi Zhang; Wei Ren – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
Although a growing body of literature has explored multilingual users' digital practice, dialects adoptions have received relatively little attention. As an important part of the Chinese language, spoken dialects, or '[Chinese characters omitted]' (fangyan), are highly complex in their classification and colloquial usage. Nevertheless, Chinese…

Nancy A. Neef; Michael Kranak; Marnie Shapiro; Ziwei Xu; A. Charles Catania – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2024
By differentially reinforcing questionnaire statements that favored teachers' behavior-specific praise in a multiple-baseline design across participants, we altered the verbal behavior of general education teachers. Our target was a written verbalization favoring the delivery of specific rather than general praise. We then assessed the effects on…

Nirmala Vasudevan; Mithun Haridas; Prema Nedungadi; Raghu Raman; Peter T. Daniels; David L. Share – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Most children across the world learn to read and write in non-alphabetic orthographies such as abjads (e.g., Arabic), abugidas (e.g., Ethiopic Ge'ez), and morphosyllabaries (e.g., Chinese). However, most theories of reading, reading development, and dyslexia derive from a relatively narrow empirical base of research in English--an outlier…

Zeynep Köylü; Nurullah Eryilmaz; Carmen Pérez-Vidal; Marjolijn Verspoor; Hana Gustafsson – Language Learning, 2024
Because of authentic exposure, study-abroad sojourners are expected to become more proficient in terms of holistic formulaicity (defined as targetlike language use of intensifiers, fillers, multiword sequences, lexical features, verb-argument constructions, pragmatic and discourse features, and so on), use of formulaic sequences, and lexical…

Jialin Lai; Juan F. Quinonez-Beltran; R. Malatesha Joshi – Reading Research Quarterly, 2024
With the overwhelming "Anglocentric" or "alphabetocentric" science of reading, the current review aimed to add to the science of reading acquisition from the perspective of abugidic writing system, distinct from the well-research alphabetic writing system in multiple dimensions of orthographic complexity, as proposed by Daniels…

Ashley Chen; Suchita E. Kumar; Rhea Varkhedi; Dillon H. Murphy – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
In the modern age, we often consume content at faster than its normal speed. Prior research suggests that watching lecture videos at speeds up to 2x does not significantly affect performance, but the mechanisms by which comprehension is preserved at faster playback speeds are not fully understood. Therefore, we sought to investigate whether there…

Knoop-van Campen, Carolien A. N.; Segers, Eliane; Verhoeven, Ludo – Annals of Dyslexia, 2023
Children and adults with dyslexia are often provided with audio-support, which reads the written text for the learner. The present study examined to what extent audio-support as a form of external regulation impacts navigation patterns in children and adults with and without dyslexia. We compared navigation patterns in multimedia lessons of…

Andreea Molnar; Patty Kostkova – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2023
This research aims to provide further insight on how to design effective educational games by exploring whether the integration of educational content through game mechanics, text, or a combination of both text and game mechanics is more effective in teaching the learning outcomes in games. The results of the study show that all three methods led…

Numerous studies have been conducted on Turkish children's magazines during the late Ottoman period, covering a wide range of disciplines such as history, language, literature, sociology, and education. However, a majority of these studies have focused on magazines written in Arabic script, with limited attention paid to those written in other…

Smith, Ethan P.; Kelly, Jennifer; Sappington, Susan; Warren, Kareemah; Jansen, Amanda – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Language is a conduit for communicating and understanding mathematical ideas. In this article, the authors describe how literacy relates to modes of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. They then share a strategy for supporting student literacy in mathematics--judicious telling--and provide examples of what this approach looks like in the…
