How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

La adquisición del lenguaje es un tema ampliamente investigado en la psicología. Su estudio es determinante no sólo porque nos permite conocer cómo se comunican las personas y las características que tiene su código de comunicación, sino porque a través del lenguaje podemos explicar el pensamiento y el conocimiento humanos. En palabras poéticas, pa...

Haptic sound symbolism has been found in adults, between ideophones and various textures, between words and shape, and between written words and texture. However, associations between the sound of nonwords and features other than shape and in early stages of development have been less explored. The present study investigates the haptic manifestatio...

Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) is a strong predictor of reading fluency across languages and some researchers have attributed this to the contribution of RAN to the development of orthographic knowledge, which is predictive of reading fluency. However, to date, it remains unclear whether RAN (alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric) predicts orthographic...

Rapid automatized naming (RAN) is a strong predictor of reading across languages. However, it remains unclear if the effects of RAN in first language (L1) transfer to reading in second language (L2) and if the results vary as a function of the orthographic proximity of L1-L2. To fill this gap in the literature, we examined the role of RAN in readin...
Article
Connectives have been shown to confirm or reverse the prediction of upcoming discourse content. Whether the non-conceptual meaning of other types of discourse markers can further constraint the upcoming discourse remains mostly unexplored. This study evaluates the predicting effect of two scalar focus operators, Spanish hasta (even) and nada más (o...

This article presents a protocol for investigating the existence of tactile sound symbolism in young children. Sound symbolism is the systematic correspondence between the sound of a word and physical features of the object to which the word refers. Tactile sound-symbolism has been scarcely studied. Moreover, it has been studied only in adults. Stu...

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo explorar la relación entre temperamento (específicamente la dimensión control esforzado, relacionada con la atención), tiempos de atención visual en una condición experimental, aprendizaje de nuevas palabras y desarrollo lingüístico. Se evaluó a 60 niños de entre 18 y 24 meses de edad, con el criterio de que...

Cada una de las lenguas del mundo reúne una serie de características y propiedades (entre ellas fonológicas y gramaticales) que, por lo menos en parte, deberán ser aprendidas a partir de las habilidades perceptuales que desarrollan sus hablantes. Dichas habilidades permiten aprender los patrones de la lengua a la que están expuestas las personas, l...

Una de las más sorprendentes habilidades que caracterizan al ser humano es, sin duda, su capacidad de comunicación por medio del lenguaje; gracias a esta habilidad somos capaces de expresar nuestras ideas, deseos, molestias, sentimientos y pensamientos desde los primeros años de vida. Sin embargo, cómo adquirimos el lenguaje es un tema que aún enci...
Article

Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Grammatical gender embedded in determiners, nouns and adjectives allows indirect and more rapid processing of the referents implied in sentences. However in a language such as Spanish, this useful information cannot be reliably retrieved from a single source of information. Instead, noun gender may be extract...

Intralexic segmentation and categorization by 9-to-12-month-old Spanish learning infants. Infants become sensitive to phonological regularities that are more consistent in their language input. This sensibility enhances the development of perceptual abilities that will serve as the basis for language acquisition. The aim of this research was to eva...

This sensibility enhances the development of perceptual abilities that will serve as the basis for language acquisition. The aim of this research was to evaluate Spanish learning infants' basic cognitive abilities for the categorical discriminati...
