DOI: 10.1016/j.cogpsych.2019.101249
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that the basic properties of the visual representation of space are reflected in spatial language. This close relationship between linguistic and non-linguistic spatial systems has been observed both in typical development… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/dev0001410.supp
Abstract: Parents provide motivational and cognitive support within the same interaction, yet researchers have investigated these separately. We examined two key aspects of parental support, praise (motivational support) and spatial language (cognitive support), from fathers and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0269648
Abstract: Despite remarkable progress in digital linguistics, extensive databases of geographical language distributions are missing. This hampers both studies on language spatiality and public outreach of language diversity. We present best practices for creating and sharing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0277026
Abstract: The process of number symbolization is assumed to be critically influenced by the acquisition of so-called verbal number skills (e.g., verbally reciting the number chain and naming Arabic numerals). For the acquisition of these verbal… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.568638
Abstract: Spatial language is an important predictor of spatial skills and might be inspired by peer interaction and goal-oriented building behaviors during block play. The present study investigated the frequency, type and level of children’s spatial… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.943191
Abstract: Numerical magnitude information is assumed to be spatially represented in the form of a mental number line defined with respect to a body-centred, egocentric frame of reference. In this context, spatial language skills such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci10110811
Abstract: In the present study, we employed the dual task technique to explore the role of language in topographical working memory when landmarks are present along the path. We performed three experiments to mainly test the… read more here.
