Functional Connectivity Fingerprints of Emerging Reading Skill in the First Months of Schooling

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The transition from pre‐reading to early word reading skill in early childhood is a time of profound developmental change. To understand changes in brain networks associated with reading development, this study examined individual differences in functional connectivity for reading at the start of formal literacy instruction.

A Rapid fMRI Paradigm for Localisation of the Language Network

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 5, March 2026.
This study describes a succinct four‐task fMRI paradigm to identify the language network, which can be translated to intraoperative tasks during direct electrical stimulation. The results show it is feasible within a reasonable time duration, providing maximal information of the accepted dual‐stream language network.

The Effects of Maturation and Dyslexia Risk on Neural Speech‐Sound Encoding and Discrimination at Preschool Stage

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 5, March 2026.
Event‐related potentials (ERPs) to a repeating pseudoword and mismatch responses (MMRs) to five deviances were recorded at 4–5 years and compared with a previously reported follow‐up at 28 months, in subgroups with versus without familial dyslexia risk (n ~ 150).

Motivation for learning Chinese compared to European languages: An exploration in English secondary schools

Foreign Language Annals, Volume 59, Issue 1, Page 278-300, Spring 2026.
Abstract There is little published research on school‐aged learners of Mandarin Chinese in anglophone contexts. This article explores English secondary school pupils' motivation for learning Chinese compared to European languages. The research questions were: (1) What is the strength and nature of pupils' self‐reported motivation for learning languages?

Experience‐Sensitive Effects on Temporal Profiles of Social Attention in Early Childhood

Infancy, Volume 31, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Bilinguals show differences in face processing compared to monolinguals, automatically orienting more rapidly to faces and dwelling longer on faces and mouths than monolinguals. However, it is difficult to identify specific visual strategies from average‐level data.

Infant Vocal Behavior During Contingent Vocal Imitation and Its Interruption as a Window Into the Emerging Sense of Agency

Infancy, Volume 31, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Infants' emerging sense of agency is thought to be supported by caregivers' contingent responsiveness. However, it remains unclear which types of responses are most relevant to this process. Here, we examined the role of contingent vocal imitation, defined as the prompt repetition of an infant's vocalization by an interaction partner. To tease

A double dissociation between memory span and word processing among neurological patients attests to the functional independence of verbal short‐term memory

Journal of Neuropsychology, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 101-114, March 2026.
Abstract Reports of patients with impaired verbal short‐term memory are central to the debate of whether there are independent short‐term stores or whether immediate repetition is supported by activated long‐term memory. Patients with selective impairments of verbal short‐term memory support models with independent buffers.

Listening, Reading, or Both? Rethinking the Comprehension Benefits of Reading‐While‐Listening

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 1, Page 311-351, March 2026.
Abstract The rising popularity of audiobooks in language learning has highlighted the need to understand their potential benefits in enhancing comprehension and the mechanisms driving these effects. In this registered report, we explored the hypothesis that reading‐while‐listening can enhance lower‐level decoding skills, in turn freeing up cognitive ...

From Psycholinguistics to Computer Vision. A Comprehensive Review of Object Naming Data and Studies

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, much research has focused on what happens in the human brain when a perceptual stimulus, such as a picture, is converted into linguistic content, a word. This process is commonly referred to as object naming and is considered a crucial aspect of language processing, production, and cognition. It refers to the identification of
