Psychophysical Estimates of Frequency Discrimination: More than Just Limitations of Auditory Processing

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2013
Efficient auditory processing is hypothesized to support language and literacy development. However, behavioral tasks used to assess this hypothesis need to be robust to non-auditory specific individual differences.

Language Competence in Italian Heritage Speakers: The Contribution of Clitic Pronouns and Nonword Repetition

open access: yesLanguages, 2022
The linguistic profile of bilingual children is known to show areas of overlap with that of children affected by Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), creating a need to differentiate the profiles and provide clinicians with tools to evaluate bilingual ...

Why chunking should be considered as an explanation for developmental change before short-term memory capacity and processing speed

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2012
The chunking hypothesis suggests that during the repeated exposure of stimulus material, information is organized into increasingly larger chunks. Many researchers have not considered the full power of the chunking hypothesis as both a learning mechanism

Letter Migrations between Words in Reading Aloud Can Result either from an Impairment in Orthographic Input or in Phonological Output

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
Letter migrations between words in reading aloud (e.g., reading “cane love” as “lane love” or “lane cove”) are known to result from a deficit in the visual-orthographic analysis and characterize attentional dyslexia.

Word and nonword repetition in bilingual subjects: A PET study [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, 2005
Abstract Learning a specific skill during childhood may partly determine the functional organization of the adult brain. This hypothesis led us to study brain activation patterns using positron emission tomography (PET), in which we compared word and nonword repetition in 10 right‐handed native English‐speakers ...

What predicts word reading in Arabic?

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
Efficient and accurate word reading ability is critical for later reading success. As such, it is important to understand the component skills that underlie strong word reading ability.

Repetition of Single Words and Nonwords in Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesCortex, 1997
Repetition of single words and pronounceable nonwords (pseudowords) was assessed in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients to evaluate how lexical phonological processing might be accomplished when semantic and conceptual knowledge is impaired. AD patients performed significantly worse than healthy elderly controls on all repetition tasks.

Nonword repetition in children and adults: effects on movement coordination [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, 2010
AbstractHearing and repeating novel phonetic sequences, or novel nonwords, is a task that taps many levels of processing, including auditory decoding, phonological processing, working memory, speech motor planning and execution. Investigations of nonword repetition abilities have been framed within models of psycholinguistic processing, while the motor

Cross-Language Nonword Repetition by Bilingual and Monolingual Children [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2010
Purpose Identifying children with primary or specific language impairment (LI) in languages other than English continues to present a diagnostic challenge. This study examined the utility of English and Spanish nonword repetition (NWR) to identify children known to have LI.

Polish Nonword Span (PNWSPAN): A new tool for measuring phonological loop capacity

open access: yesGlottodidactica, 2018
The phonological loop, which is a component of working memory, is considered to be one of the most significant factors affecting L1 and L2 learning.
