Input Variability in Foreign Language Verb–Argument Construction Learning: A Primary School Intervention

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 ...

Multifaceted Role of Multilevel Statistical and Linguistic Information From Target Language in Predicting Second Language Verb–Preposition and Verb–Particle Construction Production

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores how statistical properties of verb–preposition and verb–particle constructions (VPCs) and their interplay in the target language shape second language (L2) production across L2 proficiency levels. We compared phrasal frequency and three contingency measures—mutual information (MI), forward delta P (ΔP), and backward ΔP—of ...

Gaze Behavior Across Proficiency Levels in Video‐Mediated Second Language Interactional Competence Assessment

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been an increasing interest in better understanding the role of embodied resources in second language (L2) assessment contexts and thus expanding the construct of interactional competence (IC). However, multimodal analysis has yet to break new grounds in video‐mediated interactions in digital assessment environments.

Error detection is not necessary for representation

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Some philosophers have recently proposed an error detection condition (EDC) for representation, such that for R$$ R $$ to be a representation for system S$$ S $$, S$$ S $$ must be capable of detecting errors in tokenings of R$$ R $$. We argue that this condition is unmotivated, and that it is too strong. We show that theories of representation that are

Using Psychometric Network Analysis to Examine the Components of Spoken Word Recognition

Journal of Cognition
Using language requires access to domain-specific linguistic representations, but also draws on domain-general cognitive skills. A key issue in current psycholinguistics is to situate linguistic processing in the network of human cognitive abilities ...

How generics obscure the logic of conditionals

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
This paper discusses counter‐examples to modus ponens and modus tollens involving modals and quantificational adverbs, and presents new counter‐examples with generic conditionals. We argue that the counter‐examples are spurious, and are explained by the domain‐restricting effects of if‐clauses.

Embedding mental files in the world

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Cognitive scientific explanations can take either a mechanistic or design perspective. Some recent philosophical works propose to apply the mechanistic perspective to the influential mental file framework. The design perspective, however, remains underexplored.

Structural models of genome-wide covariance identify multiple common dimensions in autism

Nature Communications
Common genetic variation has been associated with multiple phenotypic features in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, our knowledge of shared genetic factor structures contributing to this highly heterogeneous phenotypic spectrum is limited.
