Reading versus listening: Which one is more effective for incidental vocabulary learning?

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The article examines incidental vocabulary acquisition, focusing on the differential impacts of input modalities—reading versus listening—on learning of single words and multi‐word expressions. Eighty‐eight university students of L2 Italian were assigned to one of the three groups: (a) reading half of an authentic Italian novel, (b) listening ...

The role of first and second language reading, first language low‐level skills, and working memory in second language writing

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Our research investigated how L2 and L1 reading, L1 low‐level skills and working memory are related to ratings and the linguistic characteristics (productivity, cohesion, lexical sophistication and diversity, syntactic complexity, and accuracy) of argumentative and narrative texts. The research was conducted in Hungary with 95 secondary school

Rhythm Processing Across Development: Origins, Links to Language Processing, and Perspectives for Intervention

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A wealth of research has investigated rhythm processing in music and speech, revealing shared cognitive and neural correlates and potential transfer effects, as evidenced by shared benefits and shared processing difficulties, as well as effects of stimulation and training programs.

From Finger Taps to Footsteps: Gait as a Model for Investigating and Training Rhythmic Abilities

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Motor rhythmic abilities, like auditory–motor synchronization, are often assessed using finger‐tapping tasks. Here, we propose gait as a richer, more ecologically valid alternative, which engages the whole body, is continuous, and taps into both automatic and voluntary control.

A Proof‐of‐Concept Study of Gamified Rhythmic Training in Preadolescents Who Stutter

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stuttering is a developmental speech fluency disorder linked to timing deficits in speech motor control. Given the shared neural mechanisms between rhythmic timing and speech production, rhythm‐based interventions may hold promise for stuttering.

Patient‐Centred Web‐Based Information on Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Quality and Readability

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The internet is a widely used source of health information for patients with head and neck cancer. However, the quality and readability of online content remain inconsistent. This study evaluated the usefulness of web‐based resources by assessing their quality and readability.
