Distributional Cues in Construction Acquisition: A Comparative Study of Native and Nonnative English Speakers Using the As‐Predicative Construction

open access: yesLanguage Learning, Volume 76, Issue 1, Page 67-102, March 2026.
Abstract This study investigates how distributional cues are integrated into the mental representation of the as‐predicative construction by English native and nonnative speakers, drawing on associative learning theory. We examined speakers’ constructional retrieval when given a verbal cue (Experiment 1) and their verb retrieval when given a ...

No Evidence for Agent−Patient Role Attribution in Human Infants, Human Adults, and Guinea Baboons (Papio papio)

Abstract Languages describe “who is doing what to whom” by distinguishing the event roles of agent (doer) and patient (undergoer), but it is debated whether they result from nonlinguistic representations that may already exist in preverbal infants and nonhuman animals. The phenomenon of causal perception, where the subsequent movements of two objects A

DNA methylation of the oxytocin receptor gene predicts neural response to ambiguous social stimuli

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
Oxytocin and its receptor (OXTR) play an important role in a variety of social perceptual and affiliative processes. Individual variability in social information processing likely has a strong heritable component, and as such, many investigations have ...

Nostalgic Advertising Enhances Brand Name Recall by Reactivating Brand‐Related Autobiographical Memories, Especially for Familiar and Personally Relevant Brands

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 3306-3318, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Consumers are more likely to choose brands they recall easily, yet achieving brand name recall is increasingly difficult amid saturated markets and aging populations. While nostalgic advertising is known to boost persuasiveness, its role in enhancing brand awareness remains underexplored.
