Kim, Chae-Eun; O'Grady, William; Deen, Kamil; Kim, Kitaek – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2017
This article shows that the Korean Extrinsic Plural Marker (EPM) may be acquired by children on the basis of very little evidence. The EPM marks distributivity, unlike the Instrinsic Plural Marker, which marks plurality. Thirty monolingual learners of Korean aged 5;03 to 6;09 (mean age 6;01) were tested using a series of Truth Value Judgment Tasks…

Vonk, Matthew; Bohacek, Peter; Militello, Cheryl; Iverson, Ellen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
This study focuses on student development of two important laboratory skills in the context of introductory college-level physics. The first skill, which we call model making, is the ability to analyze a phenomenon in a way that produces a quantitative multimodal model. The second skill, which we call model breaking, is the ability to critically…
