Demystifying Bilingualism
This book analyses changing views on bilingualism in Cognitive Psychology and explores their socio-cultural embeddedness. It offers a new, innovative perspective on the debate on possible cognitive (dis)advantages in bilinguals, arguing that it is biased by popular “language myths”, which often manifest themselves in the form of metaphors. Since its beginnings, Cognitive Psychology has consistently modelled the coexistence between languages in the brain using metaphors of struggle, conflict and competition. However, an ideological shift from nationalist and monolingual ideologies to the celebration of bilingualism under multicultural and neoliberal ideologies in the course of the 20th century fostered opposing interpretations of language coexistence in the brain and its effects on bilinguals at different moments in time. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Cognitive Psychology, Psycholinguistics, Multilingualism and Applied Linguistics, Cognitive and Computational Linguistics, and Critical Metaphor Analysis.
Language Development and Disorders in Spanish-speaking Children
Prominent researchers from the US, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Spain contribute experimental reports on language development of children who are acquiring Spanish. The chapters cover a wide range of dimensions in acquisition: comprehension and production; monolingualism and bilingualism; typical development, children who are at risk and children with language disorders, phonology, semantics, and morphosyntax. These studies will inform linguistic theory development in clinical linguistics as well as offer insights on how language works in relation to cognitive functions that are associated with when children understand or use language. The unique data from child language offer perspectives that cannot be drawn from adult language. The first part is dedicated to the acquisition of Spanish as a first or second language by typically-developing children, the second part offers studies on children who are at risk of language delays, and the third part focuses on children with specific language impairment, disorders and syndromes.
Aspects of Multilingual Aphasia
This volume presents a broad overview of current research and thought on aphasia in individuals who speak more than one language. The range of topics covered, and their in-depth treatment, should be of interest to researchers, clinicians, and students.
Atypical Language Development in Romance Languages
This book presents a range of ongoing studies on atypical language development in Romance languages. Despite the steady increase in the number of studies on typical language development, there is still little research about atypical language development, especially in Romance languages. This book covers four main conditions causing atypical language development. Part I explores the linguistic and communicative characteristics of preterm children learning Romance languages. The focus of Part II centers on children with Specific Language Impairment. Hearing Loss in Part III is another relevant factor leading to atypical language development. The final part IV zeroes in on genetic syndromes coupled to cognitive impairment with special attention to language development. This book presents a much needed overview of the most recent findings in all relevant fields dealing with atypical language development in children speaking Romance languages.
Language Acquisition in Romance Languages
The research presented in this volume covers first language acquisition, second language acquisition, language heritage and language impairment. Papers in this collection use a variety of experimental methods, such as eye-tracking, elicitation tasks, production tasks administered off-line and untimed, transcriptions of spontaneous speech, production elicitation, Truth Value Judgement tasks, standardized tests and multiple choice tasks. The studies included in this book try to cover most of the methods used in first and second language acquisition in typical and atypical populations. This book will be useful for linguists, speech therapists, and psycholinguists working on first, second and impaired language acquisition.
Cognitive Plausibility in Natural Language Processing
This book explores the cognitive plausibility of computational language models and why it’s an important factor in their development and evaluation. The authors present the idea that more can be learned about cognitive plausibility of computational language models by linking signals of cognitive processing load in humans to interpretability methods that allow for exploration of the hidden mechanisms of neural models. The book identifies limitations when applying the existing methodology for representational analyses to contextualized settings and critiques the current emphasis on form over more grounded approaches to modeling language. The authors discuss how novel techniques for transfer and curriculum learning could lead to cognitively more plausible generalization capabilities in models. The book also highlights the importance of instance-level evaluation and includes thorough discussion of the ethical considerations that may arise throughout the various stages of cognitive plausibility research.

VIII Simposio EXERNET. Ejercicio físico para la salud a lo largo de la vida
El objetivo principal de este VIII Simposio realizado en Almería (octubre de 2023) fue presentar los proyectos de investigación en curso de los diferentes Grupos, con el fin de generar sinergias entre los mismos. El evento superó los 200 inscritos y contó con más de 140 posters o comunicaciones presentadas, en las siguientes áreas temáticas: • Intervención en estilos de vida • Actividad física en edad escolar • Ejercicio como estrategia terapéutica • Ejercicio físico y envejecimiento • Igualdad e inclusión en las ciencias de la actividad física y el deporte EXERNET se inició en 2004 como un proyecto de investigación coordinado, gracias a la financiación Ministerio d...
Els llenguatges de l’infant: del cos i la parla a l’escriptura
Com diu l'educador Loris Malaguzzi, l'infant té un centenar de llenguatges que molt poques vegades se li reconeixen i li deixen experimentar i viure plenament. Aquest centenar, però, hi existeix! Aquest llibre pretén, a partir de les aportacions interdisciplinàries de la psicologia, de l'educació emocional, de la psicoteràpia, de les neurociències, de la psicolingüística, de la lingüística i de la didàctica del llenguatge oral i del llenguatge escrit, donar a conèixer les darreres teories innovadores sobre el paper i la funció del mestre en la construcció de l'infant lector i escriptor i la importància dels diferents llenguatges (corporal, emocional, artístic, oral, escrit, etc.) per ajudar el propi infant que descobreixi i ampliï les seves potencialitats com a ésser parlant, lector i escriptor en el món del segle XXI.
