Spatial representation of serial order in working memory
The spontaneous spatialization of serial order in working memory (WM), often reflected by the SPoARC effect, is thought to be influenced by reading/writing habits. However, cross-cultural research comparing the direction of spatial organization in WM remains limited. Here we investigated the spontaneity of this spatialization (its independence from visual-spatial prompts) and its generalizability across different cultural reading systems (Italian…
Serial-order and rule-learning abilities in children with musical training
Playing a musical instrument is an engaging, challenging activity that has been linked to benefits in several cognitive domains, including language. Insofar, these benefits have been traced back to working memory abilities related to order information, as both language and music are highly complex signals that require maintaining temporally embedded structures unfolding over time. Yet, the critical question remains open as to whether the positive…
Learning and generalization of repetition-based rules in autism
Rule Learning (RL) allows us to extract and generalize high-order rules from a sequence of elements. Despite the critical role of RL in the acquisition of linguistic and social abilities, no study has investigated RL processes in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Here, we investigated RL in high-functioning autistic adolescents with ASD, examining whether their ability to extract and generalize rules from a sequence of visual elements is affected b…
Visual Implicit Learning Abilities in Infants at Familial Risk for Language and Learning Impairments
The ability of infants to track transitional probabilities (Statistical Learning-SL) and to extract and generalize high-order rules (Rule Learning-RL) from sequences of items have been proposed as being pivotal for the acquisition of language and reading skills. Although there is ample evidence of specific associations between SL and RL abilities and, respectively, vocabulary and grammar skills, research exploring SL and RL as early markers of la…
Electrophysiological Evidence of Space-Number Associations in 9-Month-Old Infants
Infant research is providing accumulating evidence that number-space mappings appear early in development. Here, a Posner cueing paradigm was used to investigate the neural mechanisms underpinning the attentional bias induced by nonsymbolic numerical cues in 9-month-old infants (N = 32). Event-related potentials and saccadic reaction time were measured to the onset of a peripheral target flashing right after the offset of a centered small or larg…
Infants’ learning of non‐adjacent regularities from visual sequences
Tracking adjacent (AD) and non‐adjacent (NAD) dependencies in a sequence of elements is critical for the development of many complex abilities, such as language acquisition and social interaction. While learning of AD in infancy is a domain‐general ability that is functioning across different domains, infants’ processing of NAD has been reported only for speech sequences. Here, we tested 9‐ to 12‐ and 13‐ to 15‐month‐olds’ ability to extract AxB …
