Reading numbers aloud, a central aspect of numerical literacy, is a challenging skill to acquire, but the origins of this difficulty remain poorly understood. To investigate this matter, we examined the performance of 127 third- and fourth-grade children
Additionally, all the traits consisted of two Chinese characters (two syllables) to control for phonological variation in the trait names. Procedure At the start of the experiment participants took a self-threat induction test based around a semantic association task. Similar to Pica (2016), a ...
His study used experiments to justify the hypothesis that English words provoke a higher degree of phonological information processing, which helps temporal memory encoding, while Chinese words provoke a higher degree of contextual and visual-semantic information processing, which helps associative memory ...
Deficits are evident in the comprehension of linguistic pragmatics (including idioms, proverbs, and vocal prosody) [14–17] and in phonological processing and rhyming [14, 15, 18, 19]. There is also evidence of poor comprehension of humor and nonliteral language forms due to a bias toward ...
(cf. Dryer and Haspelmath2013). This is a database of phonological, grammatical and lexical properties of a large number of languages based on reference grammars and other descriptive materials (seehttp://wals.info). It also includes rich typological information on a wide range of the world’...
A large body of literature relates sex differences in the anatomy and function of perisylvian structures (inferior frontal and superior temporal cortex, along with planum temporale) to differences in various aspects of language processing, including semantic [61], phonological [63, 62], and narrative...
This finding suggests that UM and UH may hinge on distinct cognitive processes, with UM more powerfully affected by the presence of autism [26]. Subsequent research showed that UM use by 8- to 21-year-olds normalizes when overall ASD symptoms drop off [28, 46], again lending support to...
For example, a study that compared task effects on associative memory of word pairs using semantic and phonological tasks found that extensive activity in the left inferior prefrontal cortex predicted word pairs that were later successfully remembered as an intact pair in both encoding tasks; task-...
