Working Memory for Linguistic and Non-linguistic Manual Gestures: Evidence, Theory, and Application

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Linguistic manual gestures are the basis of sign languages used by deaf individuals. Working memory and language processing are intimately connected and thus when language is gesture-based, it is important to understand related working memory mechanisms.

Bactrian in Issyk‐Kushan Script: Additional Readings and Decipherments1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This article presents additional readings of several inscriptions written in the Issyk‐Kushan script, building on the improved system of sound values recently proposed by Sims‐Williams (2025b). We propose that some further lines of Dašt‐i Nāwur inscription DN III and parts of several other inscriptions can now be read as Bactrian, add new ...

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.

Three arguments for abstraction in phonology

Glossa
Much recent research in cognitive and brain sciences links speech processing to the auditory and articulatory systems. These facts notwithstanding, here, I argue that phonology is abstract, algebraic, and substance-free. I first review challenges to this

A perfect end: A study of syllable codas in South African Sign Language

Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics Plus, 2017
South African Sign Language (SASL) is an understudied language with a rich and interesting phonology. For instance, while the language allows onsetless syllables, it does not allow codaless syllables, except in a small class of signs which do not include

How do gestural interactions support visuospatial cognition in STEM learning?

British Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing literature shows that touchscreen devices can support learning of visuospatially rich STEM content. However, the mechanisms by which touchscreen devices support cognition in learning remains unclear. This study examined how gestural interactions afforded by touchscreen devices support visuospatial cognition in STEM learning by ...

Approximating multidimensionality with asymmetric unidimensional IRT models

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models are widely used even in settings where assessment data exhibit subtle forms of multidimensionality. Recent empirical evidence suggests that when item difficulty is associated with dimensionality, asymmetric item characteristic curves (ICCs) emerge in the unidimensional approximation.

Brain readiness and the nature of language

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
To identify the neural components that make a brain ready for language, it is important to have well defined linguistic phenotypes, to know precisely what language is.

Correspondances morphologiques entre le français et la langue des signes française :

TIPA. Travaux interdisciplinaires sur la parole et le langage, 2018
Several studies showed a role for phonology in reading acquisition in deaf children (Transler, 2005) but few focused on the role of morphology and even less so when talking about sign language’s speakers, taught in sign language from the early age of ...
