Capital Gains: Effects of Word Class and Sentence Position on Capitalization Use Across Age

open access: yesChild Development, Volume 96, Issue 6, Page 2233-2246, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT 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.

Artificial Intelligence Is Stereotypically Linked More with Socially Dominant Groups in Natural Language

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 39, October 20, 2025.
AI is not seen through an unbiased lens. People tend to stereotype AI as competent and link it with socially advantaged groups—such as men, the wealthy, the young, and prestigious occupations—raising concerns that such perceptions may deepen existing social divides rather than bridge them.

Tibetan Few‐Shot Learning Model With Deep Contextualised Two‐Level Word Embeddings

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 1394-1410, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Few‐shot learning is the task of identifying new text categories from a limited set of training examples. The two key challenges in few‐shot learning are insufficient understanding of new samples and imperfect modelling. The uniqueness of low‐resource languages lies in their limited linguistic resources, which directly leads to the difficulty ...

Order Effects in Second Language Learning

open access: yesLanguage Learning, Volume 75, Issue 3, Page 623-665, September 2025.
Abstract We explore how general principles of learning apply to and combine with usage‐based approaches to language learning and teaching, with a focus on the effects of order of exposure to new information in second language (L2) instruction. Although the effects of input spacing and timing on memory and learning have been previously explored (see ...

Effects of Task Instructions on Predictive Eye Movements and Word Recognition During Second Language Sentence Comprehension

open access: yesLanguage Learning, Volume 75, Issue 3, Page 801-831, September 2025.
Abstract This study tested whether encouraging prediction enhances prediction in second language (L2) speakers. L2 English speakers listened to English sentences like The woman … will read/buy one of the newspapers while viewing the target (a newspaper) and distractor objects (a rose, a bowl, and a mango) on a screen and clicked on the target as ...

Is predicting during language processing worth it? Effects of cloze probability and semantic similarity on failed predictions.

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition
Prediction during language processing has been hypothesized to lead to processing benefits. These possible benefits have led to several prominent theories that center around prediction as an essential mechanism in language processing. Such theories typically assume predicting is better than not predicting at all, but do not always account for the ...

When Meaning Matters Most: Rethinking Cloze Probability in N400 Research

open access: yes
Abstract The N400 component of ERPs is modulated by how predictable a word is, but predictability is usually quantified with lexical cloze —the probability that readers supply that exact word in offline sentence completion tasks.
