Application of Recurrent Activation Models to Mechanistic Explanations of DLD: A Commentary on Riches (2026)
We respond to Riches’ article in which he puts forth the idea that exemplar-based learning is the underlying deficit in children with Developmental Language Disorder, grounded in Dell and Chang’s P-Chain model. We affirm the potential contributions of exemplar-based learning and explore other potential possibilities for mechanistic explanations of learning differences grounded in this model, including inhibitory control, working memory, extant kn…
Metaphors we learn to sign by: Positive transfer effects of existing sign language expertise and gestural repertoire on metaphor inferencing in a novel sign language
Our study investigated metaphor inferencing in second languages (L2). According to universalist accounts, L2 metaphor comprehension should be intuitive. However, cross-linguistic differences suggest that successful metaphor inferencing is subject to transfer effects. Little is known about the interaction of transfer effects involving modality differences in the context of sign languages. We investigated whether existing sign language expertise en…
The Feasibility of Remote Visual-World Eye-Tracking With Young Children
Visual-world eye-tracking has long been a useful tool for measuring young children’s real-time interpretation of words and sentences. Recently, researchers have extended this method to virtual platforms to reduce equipment costs and recruit more diverse participants. However, there is currently limited guidance on best practices, which require individual researchers to invent their own methodologies and may prevent broader adoption. Here, we pres…
Demoralization profiles and their association with active aging in Chinese older adults with disabilities: A latent profile analysis
Objective To identify latent profiles of demoralization among older adults with disabilities, analyze their influencing factors, and examine their associations with active aging. Methods From February to July 2025, a convenience sample of 411 older adults with disabilities was recruited from a tertiary hospital in Anhui Province, China. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Demoralization Scale,…
Does Nonlinguistic Segmentation Predict Literacy in Second Language Education? Statistical Learning in Ivorian Primary Schools
Statistical learning is a learning mechanism that does not directly depend on knowledge of a language but predicts language and literacy outcomes for children and adults. Research linking statistical learning and literacy has not addressed a common educational context in primary schools worldwide: children who first learn to read in their second language (L2). Several studies have linked statistical learning with childhood literacy in Australia, …
