In a context of transformation where South African students have started to confront issues of alienation and access to higher education institutions, the role of language is not a minor issue. This study explores the implicit language attitudes of a sample of 80 young L1 South African indigenous language speakers toward Standard South African Engl...

(This paper was selected as one of the EDITORS' CHOICE ARTICLES). In South Africa, current social dynamics are still largely determined by the heavy legacy of apartheid. In this context, the term “Coloured” is widely used to delineate a social group that is generally not considered white or black in the old senses. This study focuses on the impli...

El artículo presenta el estado de conocimiento que se tiene sobre la incidencia de la emoción en los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje. Para su construcción, además de la consulta de autores que se han ido constituyendo como clásicos, se analizó la producción de 72 artículos científicos publicados en los últimos años en revistas de alto impacto en...

This study investigates the potential role of context-relevant sociolinguistic factors in explaining young L1 indigenous South African language speakers’ IAT (Implicit Association Test) scores towards two varieties largely associated with the white group: Standard South African English and Afrikaans accented English. To this end, a post-IAT socioli...

This study explores the use of Implicit Association Test as an effective research tool to investigate language attitudes in South Africa. We aim to show how Standard South African English and Afrikaans-accented English are cognitively managed by young L1 South African indigenous language speakers. Results corroborate (a) participants’ statistically...

Episodic memory is associated with the encoding and retrieval of context information and with a subjective sense of reexperiencing past events. The neural correlates of episodic retrieval have been extensively studied using fMRI, leading to the identification of a "general recollection network" including medial-temporal, parietal, and prefrontal re...

Word reading in alphabetic languages involves letter identification, independently of the format in which these letters are written. This process of letter 'regularization' is sensitive to word context, leading to the recognition of a word even when numbers that resemble letters are inserted among other real letters (e.g., M4TERI4L). The present st...

A group of patients with Alzheimer's disease and a group of healthy elderly controls were tested with a lexical-decision task that included words with dense or sparse orthographic and associative neighborhoods to investigate whether there is automatic orthographic and semantic activation of related representations in these populations similar to th...

How elderly adults process morphologically complex words is still a matter of controversy. The present study explored whether compound word recognition is affected by ageing. A group of young adults and a group of older healthy adults were tested on a lexical decision task. Compound words were presented primed by their first constituent (book-BOOKS...
