  • In their own words

    Mikkel Hansen, Mikkel B Hansen et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning and Development2025

    Little is known about pre-school children’s verbalizations of their understanding of the appearance-reality distinction in extended discourse. In this study, children below and above 4; 6 years were asked to verbalize the content of four brief video clips of actors handling a deceptive object, e.g. a sponge that looked like a rock. The procedure reduced the potential discourse-pragmatic difficulties associated with responding in the standard appe…

  • A multi-factor study of the development of English receptive skills by young Danish children

    Open AccessTeresa Cadierno, Mikkel Hansen et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2022

    This longitudinal study examined the influence of child-specific and environmental factors on the development of English receptive vocabulary and grammar by two groups of Danish children: Early Starters (ES) and Late Starters (LS). Age of onset, gender, language aptitude and SES significantly predicted both outcome measures. English competence beliefs (ECB) were positively related to L2 proficiency but only for children with low foreign language …

  • The role of individual differences in younger vs. older primary school learners of English in Denmark

    Katalin Fenyvesi, Mikkel Hansen et al.ARTICLEIRAL - International Review of…2020

    This study investigated 276 Danish first and third graders’ proficiency in English as a foreign language (FL) in relation to several socio-affective factors after their first year of instruction. The results showed that (a) both age groups made similar gains in receptive vocabulary and grammar, suggesting a similar rate of learning in this short time span; (b) the two groups had different socio-affective profiles. Younger learners exhibited lower…

  • When Belief Ascriptions Are About More Than What Is on Someone Else's Mind

    Mikkel Hansen, Mikkel B Hansen et al.ARTICLEDiscourse Processes2017Cited by: 1References: 24

    The third-person belief ascription, “Marie believes that the contract is in the cabinet,” may engender two interpretations: (1) It neutrally describes what is on Marie's mind and (2) it offers indirect evidence about reality, committing the speaker to the cabinet as the most likely location. The circumstances that lead to the evidential interpretation are at present not well documented in the case of belief verbs. In the case of belief-dependent …

  • Children's use of mutual exclusivity to learn labels for parts of objects

    Mikkel B Hansen, Ellen M MarkmanARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2009Cited by: 2References: 2

    When teaching children part terms, adults frequently outline the relevant part rather than simply point. This pragmatic information very likely helps children interpret the label correctly. But the importance of gestures may not negate the need for default lexical biases such as the whole object assumption and mutual exclusivity. On this view, children initially assume that a novel label refers to a whole object. If the label for the object is fa…
