Newborns' Language Discrimination May Not Reflect Sensitivity to Speech Rhythm: Evidence From Computational Modeling

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Human newborns are able to discriminate between certain languages but not others. This ability has long been attributed to sensitivity to rhythm—the temporal regularities in speech of different languages. Here, we demonstrate through a series of computational simulations that this discrimination behavior can be achieved using no temporal ...

Identification of resistance sources and genomic regions regulating spot blotch resistance in Asian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) via genome‐wide association study

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Spot blotch (SB), caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is a major yield‐limiting disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the warm, humid agroclimatic zones of South Asia. The development of resistant cultivars through molecular approaches offers a sustainable strategy for managing this disease.

Attention to text in video predicts young children's orthographic knowledge

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Psychology, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 753-764, June 2026.
Abstract Background and Aims This study examined preschool‐aged children's attention to text in video, and whether it may be related to their developing orthographic knowledge. Sample 1 Study 1 showed 66 children videos that included text. Method Children's attention to the video was measured using eye‐tracking, and their recognition of orthographic ...

Lexical inference training for homonyms: Two randomized controlled trials for children with English as a first and an additional language

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Psychology, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 875-895, June 2026.
Abstract Background Many words have multiple meanings, which present challenges to learning, yet research has yet to identify effective interventions for homonyms. Lexical inference may be a promising strategy. Aim To evaluate a brief, novel lexical inference intervention for homonyms. Samples Children aged 7–8 years (Study 1: N = 180, Study 2: N = 76).

Spontaneous Strategies Used During Novel Word Learning

open access: yesLanguage Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 357-390, June 2026.
Abstract This online study examined spontaneous strategies of English‐speaking adults during associative word learning, the relationship of these strategies with learning outcomes and within‐task evolution of strategy use. Participants were to learn to name 14 object–pseudoword pairs across five successive encoding/recall blocks, followed by delayed ...
