The deaf adults, fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and experienced at using interpreters, watched educational…

This study examined the acquisition of numeral classifiers in 120 monolingual Japanese children. Previous research has argued that the complex semantic system underlying classifiers is late acquired. Thus, we set out to determine the age at which Japanese children are able to extend the semantic properties of classifiers to novel items/situations.…

Although numerous studies have shown that external focus (EF) enhances sports performance more than internal focus (IF) does, some findings suggest that preference (liking and usefulness) and familiarity with instructions can act as moderators. However, little is known regarding the concept of preference or familiarity in the context of motor…

Response times (RTs) have recently attracted a significant amount of attention in the literature as they may provide meaningful information about item preknowledge. In this study, a new model, the Deterministic Gated Lognormal Response Time (DG-LNRT) model, is proposed to identify examinees with item preknowledge using RTs. The proposed model was…
