Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Semantic fluency, the ability to retrieve words within a category, relies on lexical knowledge, semantic memory and executive control mechanisms. A richer, interconnected semantic memory and optimal executive control, as seen in creative individuals, enhance fluency through broad associative searches and quicker access to remote concepts ...

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

Working memory and phonological awareness. [PDF]
, 2009 Phonological awareness, and working memory, as a component of phonological awareness, have been found to be highly correlated, not only with the acquisition of reading skills, but also with each other.

How Awareness of Orthographic Transparency Benefits the Lexical Encoding of Second Language Vowels
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract We investigated the influence of orthographic transparency, and learners’ awareness of it, on the second language (L2) phonolexical encoding of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) mid‐vowel contrasts. In BP, accent marks indicate vowel quality (mid‐closed vs.

Do multiplication and division strategies rely on executive and phonological working memory resources? [PDF]
, 2007 The role of executive and phonological working-memory resources in simple arithmetic was investigated in two experiments. Participants had to solve simple multiplication problems (e.g., 4 x 8; Experiment 1) or simple division problems (e.g., 42 : 7 ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Input variability (i.e., varied experience with different grammar exemplars; “[talk/think/rant/wonder] about [god/bicycles/dogs]”) can improve generalization (i.e., “[Verb] about [Noun]”) and enhance learning. Controlled experiments show that input variability benefits children's generalization and extension of linguistic information from ...
