Children Sustain Their Attention on Spatial Scenes When Planning to Describe Spatial Relations Multimodally in Speech and Gesture. [PDF]

open access: yesDev Sci
ABSTRACT How do children allocate visual attention to scenes as they prepare to describe them multimodally in speech and co‐speech gesture? In an eye‐tracking study, Turkish‐speaking 8‐year‐old children viewed four‐picture displays depicting the same two objects in different spatial relations as they prepared to describe target pictures depicting left ...

Contrasting Fixed‐ and Mixed‐Effects Modeling in Vocabulary Research: Reanalyzing Laufer (2024) and McLean et al. (2020)

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Analyses in vocabulary research should avoid the language‐as‐a‐fixed‐effect fallacy, whereby no statistical evidence is provided to support claimed generalizations beyond the words tested in the sample. Although mixed‐effects models are widely adopted in social sciences to avoid this fallacy, second language vocabulary researchers primarily ...

Effects of Lexical Frequency in Predictive Processing: Higher Frequency Boosts First Language Speed and Facilitates Second Language Prediction

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores how word frequency affects verb‐mediated prediction in L1 and L2 speakers, using a visual‐world eye‐tracking task. By manipulating frequency of nouns within subjects (higher; lower) and type of verbs used as predictive cues (semantically restrictive; neutral) in sentences (e.g., The {doctor/surgeon} {opened/moved} the box),

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

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
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 ...

Crossing Language Barriers: Using Crossed Random Effects Modelling in Psycholinguistics Research

open access: yes, 2013
The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review of multilevel modelling (MLM), also called hierarchical linear modelling (HLM), and to present a step-by-step tutorial on how to perform a crossed random effects model (CREM) analysis. The first part

Revisiting Blocking Effects in Second Language Learning: A Close Replication of Ellis and Sagarra (2010b)

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract We closely replicated Ellis and Sagarra (2010b), a seminal study that demonstrated clear effects of blocking in second language (L2) learning. In that study, English‐speaking learners completed different types of pretraining about Latin temporal expressions (adverbs, verbs, none) to investigate how knowledge about specific cues influenced L2 ...

How Does L1 and L2 Exposure Impact L1 Performance in Bilingual Children? Evidence from Polish-English Migrants to the United Kingdom

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
Most studies on bilingual language development focus on children’s second language (L2). Here, we investigated first language (L1) development of Polish-English early migrant bilinguals in four domains: vocabulary, grammar, phonological processing, and ...
