Language proficiency and the prediction of spontaneous rehearsal in children who are deaf

Article Abstract:

The automatization of language skills plays a critical role in the relationship between language proficiency and the use of spontaneous rehearsal strategies by children who are deaf. This was gleaned from an analysis of the role of language proficiency and automatization of language skills in rehearsal use. Both language proficiency and automatization of language skills were found to be significant predictors of rehearsal use, with automatized language further found to be a partial mediator of the language proficiency and rehearsal use relation.

Developmental differences in the ability to inhibit the initial misinterpretation of garden path passages

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate inhibitory mechanisms in children. The garden path procedure was used on an experiment involving 24 participants representing three age groups. The mean chronological ages of the three groups were 9 years-2 months, 12 years-4 months and 22-years-11 months. Results suggested that developmental differences influence the inhibition of thoughts that become irrelevant during a listening comprehension and memory task.

Intending to forget: the development of cognitive inhibition in directed forgetting

Article Abstract:

The ability to intentionally inhibit the maintenance and recall of irrelevant information improves during elementary school years. This ability matures fully by the fifth grade. Adults show greater capability in inhibiting to-be-forgotten words while children show less ability to inhibit. Developmental performance differences appear to be related to differences in memory processing only.
