SL supports word learning in artificial language experiments, but few studies have examined whether it scales up to support natural language learning in a…

Children experience considerable levels of ongoing worry and distress when a parent is diagnosed with cancer and have difficulties comprehending and articulating this. They also feel a level of disconnection from their usual support systems (e.g., parents) and are limited regarding who they can seek out and talk to.

Informed by methods of grounded theory, embedded within a social constructivist framework, 38 in…
