Word Wars
Encoding word form and semantic information is critical for integrating new words into the lexicon. Factors like encoding context and word class impact memory traces and, thus, recognition of new words. This study investigated how encoding form and semantic information in incidental contexts influences later explicit and implicit recognition of novel nouns and verbs. Across two experiments (Noun: n = 31; Verb: n = 23), although explicit semantic …
Investigating Predictors of English Language Proficiency for Older School-Age Monolingual and Bilingual Children
Efficient language screening methods are needed for older school-age children and adolescents with suspected subclinical English language weaknesses. Twenty-five English-speaking monolingual children and fourteen Spanish-English bilingual children between the ages of 9;0 and 12;9 completed a nonword repetition task, a sentence repetition task, two grammaticality judgement tasks, and a passage comprehension task were examined relative to standard …
Functional neural specialization during word learning from linguistic context
Vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension account for SES-differences in how school-aged children infer word meanings from sentences
Socioeconomic status (SES)-related language gaps are known to widen throughout the course of the school years; however, not all children from lower SES homes perform worse than their higher SES peers on measures of language. The current study uses mediation and moderated mediation to examine how cognitive and language abilities (vocabulary, reading, phonological processing, working memory) account for individual differences in a children's abilit…
