Learning South African Sign Language as a First Language – The Results of a Sentence Repetition Task
Previous research on the acquisition of a sign language by deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children has indicated the importance of factors such as chronological age and age of first exposure to the language, the latter being highly variable in populations of DHH children. The results of an empirical study on the acquisition of South African Sign Language (SASL) using a sentence repetition task are presented, examining the effect of these individu…

Out-of-State Contributions Provide Non-Incumbent House Candidates with a Competitive Edge
Out-of-state donors’ contributions represent a growing share of fundraising receipts for House candidates. This raises the question of whether out-of-state contributions simply represent more money flowing to the campaigns’ coffers or whether these monies could be worth more than their outright cash value. Using campaign finance data from the U.S. Federal Election Commission 2010-2018, I examine both the fundraising and electoral impacts of non-i…
Loan Financing as a Tool for Nonincumbent House Candidates
Objective More than 50 percent of nonincumbent candidates competing in each of the 2010–2016 election cycles for seats in the House used loans to supplement their campaign revenue streams but their use remains understudied. Method Using both summary and quarterly campaign reports from the U.S. Federal Election Commission 2010–2016, I examine the frequency, timing, and the types of loans utilized by nonincumbent House campaigns. I investigate whic…
The acquisition of relative clauses in Russian and Polish in monolingual and bilingual children
In this paper, we present the results on (re)production of relative clauses in a sentence repetition task by Russian and Polish monolingual and bilingual children (3;6–6;6 years). Russian and Polish both involve overt case marking in the relative clause formation, but the case marking in Polish is more regular and transparent. Our results suggest that, when case marking is the only disambiguating cue, its transparency and regularity contributes t…
Policies, profits, networks, or duty? Donors’ motivations for contributing to parties and interest groups
Understanding variation in donors’ motivations for contributing to parties, interest groups, and candidates is increasingly important for fundraising success in an era in which joint fundraising committees and online bundling platforms provide expanded opportunities for collaborative fundraising efforts. However, the motivations of party and interest group contributors remain understudied. Using questions from the Cooperative Congressional Electi…

Help or Hindrance? Outside Group Advertising Expenditures in House Races
Super PACs, 501(c)4 social welfare organizations, and 501(c)6 professional associations are now major spenders in House elections. What remains unclear is how the strategic expenditure choices of these respective outside interest groups impact the competitive position of non-incumbent candidates running for the House – specifically do their advertising expenditures undermine or augment the expenditures made by the campaign. Using the Wesleyan Med…

Individual party donors
Habitual party donors represent an important revenue source for American political parties. What remains unclear is whether the party committees can also count on these donors to support the congressional candidates who represent the parties’ best chances for seat maximization. Utilizing structural equation modeling and contribution data from the 2006 to the 2012 election cycles, I find habitual party donors and certain new party donors respond t…

Rapid learning of minimally different words in five- to six-year-old children
This study investigates the role of acoustic salience and hearing impairment in learning phonologically minimal pairs. Picture-matching and object-matching tasks were used to investigate the learning of consonant and vowel minimal pairs in five- to six-year-old deaf children with a cochlear implant (CI), and children of the same age with normal hearing (NH). In both tasks, the CI children showed clear difficulties with learning minimal pairs. The…
Getting Short‐Changed? The Impact of Outside Money on District Representation
Objective As incumbent House members increasingly recruit campaign contributions from individuals who reside outside of their districts, this raises the question of whether a dependency on outside money affects members’ responsiveness and ideological proximity to district constituents. Method Using data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Studies of 2006, 2008, and 2010 as well as individual contribution data corresponding to those years …
The Fundraising Disadvantages Confronting American Political Parties
In the wake of the Bi-Partisan Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002 and subsequent rulings by the Supreme Court, American political parties face greater regulation than interest groups in terms of their ability to finance federal elections. While parties continue to be constrained by contribution limits, nearly all interest groups can now raise and spend money in unlimited amounts to influence elections. Further, many new groups formed to take adv…
Do Interest Group Endorsements Cue Individual Contributions to House Candidates
Non-incumbents face an uphill battle in their quest to raise sufficient funds to compete effectively against seated House incumbents and, alternatively, in competitive open-seat House contests. Interest group endorsements are thought to contribute to their electoral success, but whether endorsements help non-incumbent House candidates raise contributions from individuals, as a component of this success, remains unknown. Their heavy reliance upon …
Does party support help candidates win
The parties’ congressional campaign committees have made it their business to strategically provide contributions to candidate campaigns in order to help their candidates win. However, the effectiveness of these contributions in terms of increasing the competitiveness of party-sponsored candidates remains untested. Using contribution data from the U.S. Federal Election Commission in a series of mixed effects models as well as a matching analysis,…
The Fading Exceptionalism of American Political Parties
Using qualitative comparative analysis to mirror the decision-framework employed by the leaders of the Democratic and Republican congressional campaign committees, I demonstrate party leaders simultaneously consider multiple factors when they decide how to distribute their party’s limited resources to candidates. In contrast to studies, which characterize American party organizations as strategically pragmatic rather than ideologically motivated …
Party Campaign Contributions Come with a Support Network
Objectives Contributions to candidates from the parties’ congressional campaign committees are thought to have a “multiplier effect” in terms of generating contributions from political action committees. Method Using structural equation modeling and timed direct contribution data from the 1992 to 2012 general election cycles, I uncover a complex system of relationships within each party network. Results After controlling for the competitiveness o…
Are Self-Financed House Members Free Agents
Self-financed members of the House of Representatives invest large sums of personal money or loans into their election campaigns because they are unable, due to their often tenuous electoral position, to attract contributions from other sources. In fact, they receive half as much interest group money on average than their peers. Their ability to self-fund as well as their limited ties to interest groups provide them with an unusual amount of inde…
