DOI: 10.1111/psyp.13834
Abstract: Existing studies have identified crucial roles for the hippocampus and a distributed set of cortical regions (e.g., the inferior parietal cortex) in learning novel words. Nevertheless, researchers have not clearly determined how the hippocampus and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1162/coli_a_00529
Abstract: Abstract The staggering pace with which the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) are increasing, as measured by a range of commonly used natural language understanding (NLU) benchmarks, raises many questions regarding what “understanding” means… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/17470218221079269
Abstract: Current theories of morphological processing include form-then-meaning accounts, form-with-meaning accounts, and connectionist theories. Form-then meaning accounts argue that the morphological decomposition of complex words is based purely on orthographic structure, while form-with meaning accounts argue… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/educsci15050618
Abstract: Focus on form (FonF) teaching interventions have been widely employed to help second language learners notice a target grammatical form while their attention is on meaning, i.e., establishing new form–meaning connections. These interventions can be… read more here.
