Exploring health literacy development through co-design
Health promotion efforts that enhance health literacy among individuals, organizations, and communities are gaining attention globally. Additionally, co-designed and community-led health promotion interventions have gained recognition as an effective strategy for addressing health issues through more effective and sustainable health outcomes. This qualitative study conducted in Tasmania, Australia, aimed to co-design the emerging Health Literacy …
Capital Gains
Learning to capitalize in English requires identifying a word's type and sentence position. In two cloze studies (2021–2022), Australian students of all genders (95% White, monolingual) spelled words with one and two capitalization cues (proper nouns, sentence-initial words) and no-cue control words. High school (12–18 years, n = 59) and university students (18–63 years, n = 78) exhibited near-perfect capitalization. Primary school students (8–12…
Emojis and affective priming in visual word recognition
Emojis are frequently used in digital communication to supplement the lack of non-verbal cues, but their integration during reading has not been thoroughly examined. This study explores the interplay between language and emotion by testing the influence of emotional valence and face-status of emojis on visual word recognition. Two online experiments were conducted with 92 native English-speaking university students, examining priming effects betw…
Community voices in health literacy
Health literacy is a vital asset needed to empower individuals to take control of their health. An individual’s health literacy is the ability to find, use and apply health information and services to manage their health. They interact with the health services and members of their community who can offer additional support. Creating the role of a health literacy mediator (HLM) may help to improve health literacy outcomes for all. For this role to…
Assessing children’s health literacy
Objectives: Increasing childhood health literacy (HL) is a crucial means of improving health outcomes and reducing preventable deaths globally. Understanding how to best support children’s HL development in schools is essential. However, identifying pedagogical strategies that develop children’s HL relies on a fit-for-purpose measure. Currently, no universally accepted approach for measuring HL among children exists. The purpose of this paper was…

The influence of textese on adolescents’ perceptions of text message writers
Discord in the Communication of Forensic Science
The criminal justice system is one arena in which nonscientists use scientific findings and expert opinions to aid decision making. Forensic science is a standard feature of criminal investigations, out-of-court settlements, and trials. Yet forensic science may be poorly understood by those who use it as a decision aid, with a consequent risk of contributing to miscarriages of justice. In this article, we discuss some of the contentious aspects o…
Language, Culture, and Group Membership
Languages are strong markers of social identity. Multiple features of language and speech, from accent to lexis to grammatical constructions, mark speakers as members of specific cultural groups. In the current article, we present two confederate-scripted studies that investigated the social effects of the Australian hypocoristic use (e.g., uggie, uni, derro)-a lexical category emblematic of Australian culture. Participants took turns with a conf…
Undergraduates’ attitudes to text messaging language use and intrusions of textisms into formal writing
Students’ increasing use of text messaging language has prompted concern that textisms (e.g., 2 for to, dont for don’t, ☺) will intrude into their formal written work. Eighty-six Australian and 150 Canadian undergraduates were asked to rate the appropriateness of textism use in various situations. Students distinguished between the appropriateness of using textisms in different writing modalities and to different recipients, rating textism use as…
Variations Among Adults in Their Use of Morphemic Spelling Rules and Word‐Specific Knowledge When Spelling
The purpose of this research was to examine whether adults rely on morphemic spelling rules or word‐specific knowledge when spelling simple words. We examined adults' knowledge of two of the simplest and most reliable rules in English spelling concerning the morphological word ending ‐s. This spelling is required for regular plural nouns (e.g., bricks, bees) and third‐person singular present tense verbs (e.g., kicks, sees), but not for similar so…

Early word-object associations and later language development
Early language skills vary considerably across children, especially before the age of about two years. Thus, it can be difficult to distinguish between `late bloomers' and children who show a language delay or impairment. Here we present the results of a longitudinal study wherein toddlers' performance on a looking-time-based `Switch' task of word-object association (Stager & Werker, 1997) was related to the children's later language skills. Word…
Commentary on Ravid & Tolchinsky ‘Developing linguistic literacy
Ravid & Tolchinksy (R&T) introduce an important concept for the field of language acquisition and development: linguistic literacy. To be ‘linguistically literate’, they say, one must possess both ‘knowledge of the two major linguistic modalities – speech and writing’ and ‘a linguistic repertoire that encompasses a wide range of registers and genres’. These two statements make clear the great breadth of research that the authors have considered i…
