Readability Level of Mathematics Textbook for Sixth Grade in Jordan

دراسات: العلوم التربوية, 2020
The study aims at measuring the level of the readability of mathematics textbooks for sixth grade students in Jordan. To achieve the goals of the study, a cloze test was designed for five texts of the textbook selected from the Unit of Statistics and ...

The role of left and right hemispheres in the comprehension of idiomatic language: an electrical neuroimaging study

BMC Neuroscience, 2009
Background The specific role of the two cerebral hemispheres in processing idiomatic language is highly debated. While some studies show the involvement of the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG), other data support the crucial role of right-hemispheric ...

Scope as a Source for Non‐Incremental Effects?

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Incrementality is one of the hallmarks of realtime language comprehension. It contrasts sharply with another feature of language comprehension, the high degree of context dependence exhibited by many expressions calling for global adaptations to the larger discourse context.

Prediction in SVO and SOV languages: processing and typological considerations

Linguistics
In this study, we tested the possibility that different word orders engender different processing preferences. Our key hypothesis was that a head-initial language like English (SVO) allows more prediction compared to a head-final language like Japanese ...

Thematic Relations: A Study on Conceptual Composition in Brazilian Portuguese

Cadernos de Linguística
This study explores the processing of noun-prep-noun combinations in prepositional phrases in Brazilian Portuguese, focusing on the syntactic-semantic relationship marked by prepositions, implies the semantic sense in which the noun is being modified ...

Modulation of Predictive Coding in Auditory Paradigms of Varying Complexity in Children With Developmental Language Disorder

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 8, April 2026.
Event‐related potentials elicited in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing (controls), averaged across the F3, F4, Fz, C3, C4, and Cz electrodes. The upper panel displays the comparison between first‐ and second‐order complexity paradigms, averaging standard and deviant trials, with the baseline established previous ...

Late Positive Potentials as an Index of “Desirably Difficult” Learning Processes Engaged During Language Comprehension: ERP Evidence From Studies of Domain Knowledge

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Electrophysiological studies of language comprehension have primarily examined the kind of information that comes to mind, and when, as people process words and build message‐level understanding. However, less is known about the factors that allow people to commit the message‐level information to memory for future use.

On the scaling relationship between cloze probabilities and language model next-token prediction

CoRR
Recent work has shown that larger language models have better predictive power for eye movement and reading time data. While even the best models under-allocate probability mass to human responses, larger models assign higher-quality estimates of next tokens and their likelihood of production in cloze data because they are less sensitive to lexical co ...

Semantic Processing in Autism During Speech‐in‐Music Listening: Insights From Congruency and Surprisal‐Based N400 Analyses

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding speech in background music is a common real‐world challenge, particularly when vocals compete for linguistic processing resources. This study examined how the presence and intelligibility of sung lyrics influence semantic processing in autistic and nonautistic adults.

Aptitude complexes: Expanding our view of language aptitude

The Modern Language Journal, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 775-799, Winter 2025.
Abstract In second language (L2) research, aptitude is typically viewed as a multicomponential, cognitive construct. Yet we know that L2 learning is influenced by multiple learner individual differences (IDs) besides cognitive abilities and that these IDs interact.
