Numerous behavioral studies have demonstrated a rhythmic priming effect (RPE) on grammatical processing using grammaticality judgment tasks (GJT), where participants performed better following regular rhythmic sequences compared to baseline conditions or irregular rhythmic sequences (i.e. auditory rhythmic sequences with violated metrical structure...

Purpose To assess strengths and weaknesses of the reading level (RL) match approach and its potential to generate insights regarding the cognitive foundations of reading ability and disability. Method We applied RL-match design to a sample of 2nd – 6th graders reading a consistent orthography, Russian, using an “extreme phenotype” approach. Reader...

The current study investigated language development of children residing in institutional care (IC) in Russia, compared to peers raised by biological family care (BFC).

The lack of valid and standardized instruments, directed on an assessment of the language domain in adolescents and adults in Russia postulates the urgent necessity of their development. To fi ll this gap, the language battery, ARFA-RUS, was created and applied in a large project investigating the long-term consequences of raring in institutional c...

Impoverished early care environments are associated with developmental defcits in children raised in institutional settings. Despite the accumulation of evidence regarding defcits in general cognitive functioning in this population, less is known about the impact of institutionalization on language development at the level of brain and behavior. We...
