Statistical learning and individual differences in language abilities
Intraindividual variability and language instability in post-stroke aphasia
Intraindividual variability (IIV) - within-person fluctuations in performance - has been linked to cognitive vulnerability and poorer outcomes in aging and clinical populations but remains understudied in post-stroke aphasia, despite its potential to reveal functional instability and sensitivity to task demands beyond average performance measures. This study examined whether IIV in language performance, measured between sessions (BS-IIV) and with…
Development and validation of the questionnaire on resuscitation-related knowledge and attitude for adolescents
A pedagogical-educational method could increase children’s helpful attitude to BLS • It is essential to measure the effectiveness of BLS programmes in a reliable way • The questionnaire can be a reliable and valid tool to measure the effectiveness
The Role of Statistical Learning and Verbal Short-Term Memory in Impaired and Typical Lexical Development
Purpose: Studies on the interface between statistical learning and language are dominated by its role in word segmentation and association with grammar skills, while research on its role in lexical development is scarce. The current study is aimed at exploring whether and how statistical learning and verbal short-term memory are associated with lexical skills in typically developing German-speaker primary school children (Experiment 1) and Hungar…
Tracking statistical learning online
Despite the essential role of statistical learning in shaping human behavior, there are still controversies concerning its measurement. In this paper, we present a novel online target-detection task in an acoustic word segmentation paradigm, which is able to track the process of learning and does not build on deliberation and decision making. Beside testing the novel online task, we also examined its relationship with two offline measures: the tr…
Case marking in Hungarian children with specific language impairment
This study examines whether children with specific language impairment (SLI) acquiring a language with a rich case marking system (Hungarian) have difficulty with case, and, if so, whether the difficulty is comparable for spatial and nonspatial meanings. Data were drawn from narrative samples and from a sentence repetition task. Suffixes were tested both in their spatial and nonspatial meanings. Participants with SLI were compared to same-age pee…
Focus sensitivity in Hungarian adults and children
Focus sentences in Hungarian are claimed to express exhaustive identification by a syntactic-semantic operator in standard generative descriptions, but there are also arguments against this view. Our study aimed to gather empirical evidence for the exhaustive interpretation of focus sentences and to explore developmental changes with age. Two groups of children (mean ages 6;3 and 10;8 years) and a group of adults participated in a picture-sentenc…
Early morphological productivity in Hungarian
This paper investigates early productivity of morpheme use in Hungarian children aged between 2 ; 1 and 5 ; 3. Hungarian has a rich morphology which is the core marker of grammatical functions. A new method is introduced using the novel word paradigm in a sentence repetition task with masked inflections (i.e. a disguised elicited production task). Results suggest that Hungarian nominal and verbal suffixes can be used productively before the age o…
Self-Insight in Probabilistic Category Learning
The Weather Prediction (WP) task is one of the most extensively used Probabilistic Category Learning tasks. Although it has been usually treated as an implicit task, its implicit nature has been questioned with focus on the structural knowledge of the acquired information. The goal of the current studies is to test if participants acquire explicit knowledge on the WP task. Experiment 1 addresses this question directly with the help of a subjectiv…
Guest editors’ note
The underlying motivation for this special issue of Acta Linguistica Hungarica came from the rather traditional recognition that, in languages that have a rich morphological structure, morphology certainly plays a crucial role in processing decisions.Morphology can be decisive in packaging word units into syntactically organized phrases.For an illustration from a language where surface constituency does not help a listener in relating parts of th…
“The dog chase the cat”
In a previous study of language production, a group of Hungarian-speaking children with language impairment (LI) committed a larger number of errors than typically developing peers on verb inflections that mark person, number, tense, and definiteness (Lukács et al. 2009b). However, the error forms produced often differed from the correct form by only a single dimension (e.g., person, number, tense, or definiteness) with no single dimension provin…
Perceptual Effect on Motor Learning in the Serial Reaction-Time Task
Although the Serial Reaction-Time Task has been an effective tool in studying procedural learning, there is still a debate as to whether learning in the task is effector-based, stimulus-based, or response-based. In this article, the authors contribute to this debate by contrasting response- and stimulus-based learning by manipulating them selectively and simultaneously. Results show that (a) participants learned response sequences in the absence …
Spatial language in Williams Syndrome
We present data on the language of space in Hungarian individuals with Williams syndrome (WS; 19 in the first, 15 in the second study, between 8;0 and 21;11) and a verbal control (VC) group of typically developing (TD; 19 in the first, 15 in the second study, between 3;5 and 10;7) children from: (1) a study of elicited production and comprehension of spatial terms; and (2) a sentence completion task on case markers in their spatial and non-spatia…
