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

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Executive functions and school achievement: The mediating role of learning‐related behaviour in primary school children

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Executive functions (EFs) are critical in school and closely linked to academic achievement and learning‐related behaviours (LRBs). LRBs encompass the ability to adapt to school demands, including concentration, adherence to rules, and autonomy.

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

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
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).

The relation of spatial skills, spatial memory span, and two anxiety types with statistics anxiety in European and North American University students

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background & Aims The present two studies investigated the role of spatial cognition in statistics anxiety. The hypothesis that spatial representations and/or visuospatial skills are related to the acquisition of statistics abilities which, when lacking or unused, generate statistics anxiety is examined.

Foreign Language Annals, EarlyView.
Abstract Listening comprehension is crucial for second language (L2) communication and acquisition. However, it has received less attention than reading, given the transient nature of speech signals and the intangible cognitive processes involved in it.

The Cross‐Linguistic Transfer of Self‐Regulated Learning Strategy Use From L1 to L2: The Moderating Role of L2 Learning Motivation and Exposure

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Self‐regulated learning (SRL) as a key predictor of language learning has been widely studied, but few studies have examined it from a cross‐linguistic perspective. The present study investigated whether first language (L1) SRL strategy use transfers to second language (L2) SRL strategy use and the conditions under which this transfer occurs ...

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

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
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.
