DOI: 10.1016/j.bandl.2016.05.009
Abstract: HighlightsConsolidation of novel words was tested immediately and after a one‐week delay.Novel words with meanings were retained better than words without meanings.Retrieval of semantic information did not slow down after a week.After a week, meaningful… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jecp.2017.09.022
Abstract: Reading and listening to stories fosters vocabulary development. Studies of single word learning suggest that new words are more likely to be learned when both their oral and written forms are provided, compared with when… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jecp.2017.12.002
Abstract: Known words can guide visual attention, affecting how information is sampled. How do novel words, those that do not provide any top-down information, affect preschoolers' visual sampling in a conceptual task? We proposed that novel… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jneuroling.2016.10.002
Abstract: Abstract The current study explored whether novel words can be related to pre-existing words in semantic memory via thematic or taxonomic relations. The meaning of the novel words was learned from descriptive actions or perceptual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cogs.13118
Abstract: English-speaking children and adults generate orthographic skeletons (i.e., preliminary orthographic representations) solely from aural exposure to novel words. The present study examined whether skilled readers generate orthographic skeletons for all novel words they learn or… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.00488
Abstract: The current study examined whether thematic relations of the novel words could be acquired via descriptive episodes, and if yes, whether it could be generalized to thematically related words in a different scenario. In Experiment… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.02111
Abstract: On the basis of previous studies revealing a processing advantage of concrete words over abstract words, the current study aimed to further explore the influence of concreteness on the integration of novel words into semantic… read more here.

The influence of conceptual concreteness on the reading acquisition and integration of novel words into semantic memory via thematic relations

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1132039
Abstract: Plenty of studies have been conducted to reveal neurocognitive underpinnings of conceptual representation. Compared with that of concrete concepts, the neurocognitive correlates of abstract concepts remain elusive. The current study aimed to investigate the influence… read more here.
