Dorothy V. M. Bishop 2026-10-25
A developmental neuropsychologist investigating language difficulties and their assessment.[ref]
Phase 2 of CATALISE: a multinational and multidisciplinary Delphi consensus study of problems with language development: Terminology by Dorothy V. M. Bishop and others. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry 58, 1068–1080; 57-member terminology consensus, impairment, prognosis and biomedical associations

An emergence account assigns a capacity such as language or executive control a role in constructing understanding of belief over development. An expression account assigns it a role in accessing and displaying already available understanding. The same observed correlation is compatible with both. Immediate task-demand manipulations primarily probe expression; lasting transfer from a controlled intervention can constrain emergence, provided strategy and practice explanations are addressed.
Eneko Antón 2026-10-25
Studies bilingual language experience and cognitive performance.
Evelina Fedorenko 2026-10-25
A cognitive neuroscientist who distinguished neighboring language-selective and domain-general functional regions within Broca's area.[ref]
Language-Selective and Domain-General Regions Lie Side by Side within Broca's Area by Evelina Fedorenko and others. 2012, author and study described in the abstract
Extreme capsule 2026-10-25
A white-matter region between the claustrum and insular cortex associated with a ventral temporofrontal route in some language-connectivity studies. It is a specific anatomical term, not a synonym for every ventral language connection.
FOXP2 2026-10-24
The human gene encoding a transcription factor implicated in speech and language development through rare pathogenic variants. Related genes in other vertebrates provide mechanistic models, but the human phenotype is not equivalent to any single animal motor task. A gene-to-phenotype relationship does not by itself isolate one affected brain structure.[ref]
A forkhead-domain gene is mutated in a severe speech and language disorder by Cecilia S. L. Lai and others. Nature 413, 519–523; KE-family cosegregation and independent chromosome-translocation case
Home literacy environment 2026-10-25
Experiences and resources associated with early literacy, including shared books and direct teaching. These activities can relate to different language and reading pathways; observational associations are not prescriptions guaranteed to cause the same outcomes.[ref]
Parental involvement in the development of children's reading skill: a five-year longitudinal study by Monique Sénéchal and Jo-Anne LeFevre. Child Development 73, 445–460; 168 middle/upper-middle-class children, home activities and distinct language/literacy pathways
Hugh W. Catts 2026-10-25
A researcher investigating reading, language development or the processes supporting literacy.[ref]
Are Specific Language Impairment and Dyslexia Distinct Disorders? by Hugh W. Catts and others. Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research 48, 1378–1396; 527-child longitudinal sample and separate phonological-profile subsample

Reading Comprehension Tests Vary in the Skills They Assess: Differential Dependence on Decoding and Oral Comprehension by Janice M. Keenan and others. Scientific Studies of Reading 12, 281–300; five measures, differential decoding/listening dependence and developmental changes
Japanese Sign Language 2026-10-25
A natural sign language studied in comparisons of sentence comprehension across sign and Japanese speech. Modality and language differences must be considered separately.

The influence of consistency, frequency, and semantics on learning to read: an artificial orthography paradigm by Joanne S. H. Taylor and others. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition 37, 60–76; sixteen/32 adults, novel script, frequency/consistency and pretraining

Does awareness of speech as a sequence of phones arise spontaneously? by José Morais and others. Cognition 7, 323–331; illiterate and adult-literate comparisons on phone addition/deletion
Julie E. Dockrell 2026-10-25
A researcher investigating reading, language development or the processes supporting literacy.[ref]
Constraints in the production of written text in children with specific language impairments by Julie E. Dockrell and others. Exceptional Children 73, 147–164; 64 children with language-impairment history, measures at eight and written text at ten
Karen Emmorey 2026-10-25
Studies sign language and the neural organisation of language.

Statistical learning in reading: variability in irrelevant letters helps children learn phonics skills by Keith S. Apfelbaum and others. Developmental Psychology 49, 1348–1365; 224 first graders, vowel mappings with varied/similar consonants and transfer tasks
Language acquisition 2026-10-24
Language disorder 2026-10-24
A pattern of language difficulties associated with persistent functional impact. A language difference related to experience or multilingual context is not by itself a disorder.
Language processing 2026-10-24
Processes supporting language comprehension and production. Neural models must distinguish the transformations required by a task from correlated memory, decision and motor demands.
Individual functional localization and distinct profiles across language, memory and control tasks.
