The animacy effect refers to the memory advantage of words denoting animate beings over words denoting inanimate objects. Remembering animate beings may serve important evolutionary functions, but the cognitive mechanism underlying the animacy effect has remained elusive. According to the richness-of-encoding account, animate words stimulate…

Özlem Sensoy; Anna Krasotkina; Antonia Götz; Barbara Höhle; Gudrun Schwarzer – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
The current study examined to what extent face and speech processing interact with each other and whether they enhance or impair the processing of the other in 5-year-olds (n = 51) and adults (n = 34). Using a computer-based speeded sorting task allowed to directly test the influence of auditory speech on face processing and the influence of face…

This study traced different types of distractor effects in the picture-word interference (PWI) task across repeated naming. Starting point was a PWI study by Kurtz et al. (2018). It reported that naming a picture (e.g., of a duck) was slowed down by a distractor word phonologically related to an alternative picture name from a different taxonomic…

Catharina Tippe; Nadine Cruz Neri; Poldi Kuhl; Jan Retelsdorf – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
Oral explanations (OE) by teachers are one of the most common forms of communication in the classroom to support students' comprehension of subject-specific content. Thus, students have to deal with the language the teachers use in explanations. Research indicates that linguistic features (LF) of texts can influence students' comprehension as they…

de Beer, Carola; Hofmann, Andrea; Regenbrecht, Frank; Huttenlauch, Clara; Wartenburger, Isabell; Obrig, Hellmuth; Hanne, Sandra – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Persons with unilateral brain damage in the right hemisphere (RH) or left hemisphere (LH) show limitations in processing linguistic prosody, with yet inconclusive results on their ability to process prosodically marked structural boundaries for syntactic ambiguity resolution. We aimed at systematically investigating production and…

Scherger, Anna-Lena; Kizilirmak, Jasmin M.; Folta-Schoofs, Kristian – Journal of Child Language, 2023
The aim of the present study was to investigate the acquisition of ditransitive structures beyond production. We conducted an elicitation task (production) and a picture-sentence matching task measuring accuracy and response times (comprehension). We examined German five-to seven-year-old typically developing children and an adult control group.…

Holger Hopp; Jana Reifegerste; Michael T. Ullman – Language Learning, 2025
Second language (L2) grammar learning is difficult. Two frameworks--the psycholinguistic lexical bottleneck hypothesis and the neurocognitive declarative/procedural model--predict that faster L2 lexical processing should facilitate L2 incidental grammar learning. We tested these predictions in a pretest-posttest syntactic adaptation study of…

Jürgen Cholewa; Annika Kirschenkern; Frederike Steinke; Thomas Günther – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Predictive language comprehension has become a major topic in psycholinguistic research. The study described in this article aims to investigate if German children with developmental language disorder (DLD) use grammatical gender agreement to predict the continuation of noun phrases in the same way as it has been observed for typically…

Schwab, Juliane; Xiang, Ming; Liu, Mingya – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Antilocality effects provide strong evidence for expectation-based sentence parsing models. Previous discussion of the antilocality effect, however, largely focused on the argument-verb dependencies in verb-final constructions, for which a memory retrieval-based account has been argued to be equally adequate. To test whether the principles of…

A recent Registered Replication Report (RRR) of the development of verbal rehearsal during serial recall revealed that children verbalized at younger ages than previously thought, but did not identify sources of individual differences. Here, we use mediation analysis to reanalyze data from the 934 children ranging from 5 to 10 years old from the…

Regina Hert; Anja Arnhold; Juhani Järvikivi – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2025
Studies on young children's comprehension have shown that children can experience problems interpreting object pronouns, even when reflexive interpretation is already adult-like. Compared to resolving reflexives, linking pronouns to a referent is considered a more "intensive" process, because it also involves non-syntactic factors like…

Ramey, Shaydon – Hispania, 2023
While translation was once a key component of language teaching, throughout the twentieth century, it largely gave way to methods and approaches with a greater focus on communicative competence. However, efforts have been made in the past few decades to return translation and more generally multilingual language learning to classrooms. In the…

This research addresses lexical deficits among EFL learners by investigating the pedagogical potential of vocal training with authentic pop songs for multi-word unit acquisition. Drawing on cognitive neuroscience, the study builds on evidence that music enhances brain plasticity and that musical and linguistic syntax share neural processing…

Miriam Geiss; Maria F. Ferin; Theo Marinis; Tanja Kupisch – Second Language Research, 2024
This study investigates for the first time the comprehension of rhetorical questions (RhQs) in bilingual children. RhQs are non-canonical questions, as they are not used to request information, but to express the speaker's belief that the answer is already obvious. This special pragmatic meaning often arises by means of specific prosodic and…

Natalie Bleijlevens; Tanya Behne – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Upon hearing a novel label, listeners tend to assume that it refers to a novel, rather than a familiar object. While this disambiguation or mutual exclusivity (ME) effect has been robustly shown across development, it is unclear what it involves. Do listeners use their pragmatic and lexical knowledge to exclude the familiar object and thus select…
