Cognitive Predictors of Decoding Skills in Newcomer and Monolingual French-Speaking Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Matthieu Bignon; Séverine Casalis; Sandrine Mejias – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Newcomer dyslexic children face a double disadvantage: They must catch up on the schooling delay caused by their late arrival in France, while the lack of early diagnostic tools for dyslexia delays their access to appropriate intervention. However, cognitive predictors of decoding skills in alphabetic scripts are well known. Clinicians…

Liu, Catrina; Chung, Kevin Kien Hoa; Wang, Li-Chih; Liu, Duo – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: Research has shown that paired associate learning (PAL) plays an important role in children's word reading across different languages. However, little is known about the construct of PAL and its relationship with word reading in Chinese children. Methods: A total of 204 second-year kindergarten children from Mainland China were…

The Role of Paired Associate Learning in Acquiring Letter-Sound Correspondences: A Longitudinal Study of Children at Family Risk for Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kalashnikova, Marina; Burnham, Denis; Goswami, Usha – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
Visual-verbal-paired associate learning (PAL) is strongly related to reading acquisition, possibly indexing a distinct cross-modal mechanism for learning letter-sound associations. We measured linguistic abilities (nonword repetition, vocabulary size) longitudinally at 3.5 and 4.0 years, and visual-verbal PAL and letter knowledge at 4.0 and…

The Relationships between Paired Associate Learning and Chinese Word Writing in Kindergarten Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liu, Catrina; Chung, Kevin Kien Hoa – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
This study investigated the construct of paired associate learning (PAL) and its associations with Chinese word writing in kindergarten children. A total of 188 Chinese children (95 boys, mean age = 5.65 years; SD = 0.34) from [Xi'an], Mainland China in the third year of kindergarten participated in this study. Children were assessed on measures…

Validating the Electric Maze Task as a Measure of Planning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sheppard, Kelly W.; Cheatham, Carol L. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2017
The Electric Maze Task (EMT) is a novel planning task designed to allow flexible testing of planning abilities across a broad age range and to incorporate manipulations to test underlying planning abilities, such as working-memory and inhibitory control skills. The EMT was tested in a group of 63 typically developing 7- to 12-year-olds.…

Paired-Associate Learning Ability Accounts for Unique Variance in Orthographic Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wang, Hua-Chen; Wass, Malin; Castles, Anne – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2017
Paired-associate learning is a dynamic measure of the ability to form new links between two items. This study aimed to investigate whether paired-associate learning ability is associated with success in orthographic learning, and if so, whether it accounts for unique variance beyond phonological decoding ability and orthographic knowledge. A group…
