The term working memory refers to a system that process in real time the information necessary to execute some complex task. Its capacity is limited, once there is a restrict amount of information which its able to deal in each processing. It also maintains a direct relation with language acquisition and comprehension. Actually, there is a great discussion about working memory and the stu…
This project has the aim to explore the effects of socioeconomic factors on children's cognitive and linguistic development. This research line is important as it may contribute to the development of specific prevention and intervention programs for children at risk to school failure. The literature on child brain plasticity indicates that environmental characteristics (enriched or depriv…
Specific Language Impairment (SLI) has significant incidence among disturbances that affect normal acquisition and development of language. International literature estimates that around 5% of children population has SLI. Studying communication profile of this group of children is crucial for its diagnosis, which depends on exclusion of broader pathologies as well as inclusion of atypical…
Language development of a child is subject to adequate memory development. During language acquisition, phonological short term memory supports vocabulary growth and favors syntactic understanding, while verbal working memory plays an important hole on syntactic acquisition and early educational abilities. Saying the first words is one very important milestone because it allows communicat…
Children with specific language impairment (SLI) show several linguistic impairments, between them difficulties with verbs might be remarkable (Windfuhr, Faragher, et al., 2002). Many researchers have been studying verb acquisition's implications for SLI children, once verbs play an important role as syntactic structure organizers and they are also essential to correct use of other word c…
The lexical acquisition can be influenced by a series of factors that are external to the child, besides intrinsic aspects. Research findings show that socioeconomic status (SES) might influence children's language abilities. Parental educational level, an important index of SES, correlates with children's vocabulary acquisition: parents with low educational levels usually provide their c…
