    • Genericity and the interpretation of the copulas by spanish-speaking children 
      Holtheuer Beausire, Carolina; Miller, Karen (Univ Concepción, Fac. Humanidades Arte, 2015)
      In Spanish the copulas ser and estar correlate with generic and specific interpretations, respectively. Likewise, both adjective types (scalar vs. non-scalar) and animacy of the sentential subject have been found to impact ...
    • Gender Effects When Learning Manipulative Tasks From Instructional Animations and Static Presentations 
      Wong, Mona; Castro Alonso, Juan; Ayres, Paul; Paas, Fred (IEEE, 2015)
      Humans have an evolved embodied cognition that equips them to deal easily with the natural movements of object manipulations. Hence, learning a manipulative task is generally more effective when watching animations that ...
    • Complex brain network properties in late L2 learners and native speakers 
      Pérez, Alejandro; Gillon Dowens, Margaret; Molinaro, Nicola; Iturria Medina, Yasser; Barraza, Paulo; García Pentón, Lorna (Elsevier, 2015)
      Whether the neural mechanisms that underlie the processing of a second language in highly proficient late bilinguals (L2 late learners) are similar or not to those that underlie the processing of the first language (L1) ...
    • The role of reading engagement in improving national achievement: An analysis of Chile’s 2000–2009 PISA results 
      Valenzuela Barros, Juan; Gómez Vera, Gabriela; Sotomayor Echeñique, Carmen (Elsevier, 2015)
      Chilean students achieved the greatest improvements in reading scores among OECD countries according to 2000–2009 PISA results. The present study aimed to analyze both systemic and individual variables behind Chile’s ...
    • Oscillatory Brain Activity Reveals Linguistic Prints in the Quantity Code 
      Salillas, Elena; Barraza, Paulo (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2015)
      Number representations change through education, although it is currently unclear whether and how language could impact the magnitude representation that we share with other species. The most prominent view is that language ...
    • Early narrative skills in Chilean preschool: Questions scaffold theproduction of coherent narratives 
      Silva, Macarena; Strasser, Katherine; Cain, Kate (Elsevier, 2014)
      This study examined whether or not question answering aided the construction of coherent narratives inpre-readers. Sixty Chilean preschoolers completed two tasks using a wordless picture-book: 30 childrenanswered questions ...
    • Long-distance neural synchrony correlates with processing strategies to compare fractions 
      Barraza, Paulo; Gómez, David M.; Oyarzún Ampuero, Felipe; Dartnell Roy, Pablo (Elsevier, 2014)
      Adults use different processing strategies to work with fractions. Depending on task requirements, theymay analyze the fraction components separately (componential processing strategy, CPS) or consider thefraction as a ...
    • Language universals at birth 
      Gómez, David Maximiliano; Berent, Iris; Benavides Varela, Silvia; Bion, Ricardo A. H.; Cattarossi, Luigi; Nespor, Marina; Mehler, Jacques (CrossMark, 2014)
      The evolution of human languages is driven both by primitive biases present in the human sensorimotor systems and by cultural transmission among speakers. However, whether the design of the language faculty is further ...
    • Teaching modeling skills using a massively multiplayer online mathematics game 
      Araya, Roberto; Jiménez Gajardo, Abelino Enrique; Bahamondez, Manuel; Calfucura, Patricio; Dartnell Roy, Pablo; Soto Andrade, Jorge (Springer Science+Business Media, 2014)
      One important challenge in mathematics education is teaching modeling skills. We analyze the logs from a game-based learning system used in a massively multiplayer online tournament. Students had to detect an input–output ...
    • Teacher professional development in Teaching and Teacher Education over ten years 
      Avalos, Beatrice (Elsevier, 2011)
      A review of publications in Teaching and Teacher Education over ten years (2000e2010) on teacher professional development is the subject of the paper. The first part synthesises production referred to learning, facilitation ...
    • Language acquisition in premature and full-term infants 
      Peña, Marcela; Pittaluga, Enrica; Mehler, Jacques (National Academy of Sciences, 2010-02-23)
      We tested healthy preterm (born near 28 ± 2 weeks of gestational age) and full-term infants at various different ages. We compared the two populations on the development of a language acquisition landmark, namely, the ...
