Patterns of Language and Visuospatial Lateralisation and Cognitive Ability in Young Children Aged 4–7 Years

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous research suggests that the development of lateralisation throughout childhood might be related to individual differences in cognitive ability, but evidence from early childhood is lacking. The current study aimed to determine if there is a relationship between patterns of language and visuospatial lateralisation and cognitive ability ...

Functional Dissociation of Mismatch Negativity From Late Discriminative Negativity Across the Adult Lifespan

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 9, May 2026.
Mismatch negativity (MMN) and late discriminative negativity (LDN) were reliably elicited by pitch contour deviants across adulthood (18–86 years). MMN amplitude declined with age and predicted subsequent auditory memory precision, whereas LDN amplitude remained largely stable and showed no relationship with memory performance.

Exploring Acoustic Overlap in Second Language Vowel Productions

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1293-1304, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the alignment of vowel categories between second language (L2) learners and first language (L1) speakers of the target language, as well as potential overlaps between adjacent vowels in terms of formant frequencies and duration.

Overreliance on Orthographic Similarity in L2‐Japanese Conceptual Processing by L1‐Chinese Learners

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1807-1820, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Orthographic and phonological similarities between first (L1) and second (L2) languages can facilitate L2 processing. Particularly, L1‐Chinese learners of L2‐Japanese can benefit from the shared morphosyllabic Chinese characters (Japanese kanji/Chinese hanzi) because of their similar orthographies.

Japanese EFL Learners’ Perspectives on the Inclusion of Diverse English Accents in Audio Recordings for Textbooks and Listening Tests

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1732-1745, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of English accents beyond standard American and British varieties has been increasingly advocated in English language education, particularly in listening instruction and assessment. However, little is known about learners’ perspectives on diverse accents in terms of their use in different types of listening materials.
