Finding predictors of academic achievement has caught the interest many educational researchers in last decades. Two variables that have received considerable attention are emotional intelligence (EI) and executive functions (EF). However, only a few studies considered their influence primary school stage. The aim this study is to identify which EI components specific EF most related explore if these relationships vary among subjects. sample comprised 180 students between 8-11 years old. We...
Many studies show a link between social cognition, set of cognitive and emotional abilities applied to situations, executive functions in typical developing children. Children with Down syndrome (DS) deficits both cognition some subcomponents functions. However this has barely been studied population. The aim study is investigate the links among children DS. We administered battery function tasks (six theory mind tasks, test emotion comprehension, three tasks) group 30 participants DS 4 12...
Language acquisition is influenced by the quality and quantity of input that language learners receive. In particular, early development has been said to rely on acoustic speech stream, as well language-related visual information, such cues provided mouth interlocutors. Furthermore, children's expressive skills are also variability interlocutors input. The COVID-19 pandemic offered an unprecedented opportunity explore way these factors affect development.

The linguistic interdependence hypothesis posits the existence of language features common to different languages. This set characteristics, known as Common Underlying Proficiency (CUP), is a powerful facilitating agent in second acquisition. Fluid intelligence (Gf), on other hand, construct that encompasses those cognitive resources devoted general learning, and its involvement acquisition unproven. aim this study determine direct interactive effect L1 knowledge Gf immersion learners across...
Here, we studied the beginnings of language development, jointly assessing two groups precursors, sociodemographic and pre-linguistic, that have previously been separately. Thus, general objective this study was to explore which factors best explained acquisition initial expressive vocabulary.

Abstract Conceptual metaphor is ubiquitous in language and thought, as we usually reason talk about abstract concepts terms of more concrete ones via metaphorical mappings that are hypothesized to arise from our embodied experience. One pervasive example the conceptual projection valence onto space, which flexibly recruits vertical lateral spatial frames gain structure (e.g., good up ‐ bad down right left ). In current study, used a judgment task explore role exogenous bodily cues (namely...
