{ "pk": 25372, "title": "Applying for National Science Foundation Funding in Cognitive Science:\nCognition, Computation, Development, Education, and Neuroscience", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Variation in second language acquisition is evident from earliest stages. This study examined effects of learning tasks (retrieval practice, comprehension, verbal repetition) on comprehension of Turkish as a new language. Undergraduates (N = 156) engaged with Turkish spoken dialogues in a computer-assisted language learning session via Zoom, with learning tasks manipulated between-subjects. Participants completed pre/posttests assessing comprehension of Turkish number and case marking, a vocabulary test, and open-response questions gauging explicit awareness. The retrieval-practice group showed highest performance overall, after controlling for significant effects of nonverbal ability and pretest. For comprehension of number/case marking, the comprehension group performed comparably to the retrieval-practice group. For vocabulary comprehension, the verbal-repetition group performed comparably to the retrieval-practice group. Differential performance associated with learning tasks indicates benefits of testing and production and aligns with transfer-appropriate processing. As predicted by the noticing hypothesis, explicit awareness of number and case marking correlated with comprehension accuracy.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "cognitive science; research funding; grants;\nworkshop; National Science Foundation" } ], "section": "Workshops", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8pm9c4rn", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Anne", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Cleary", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences, NSF", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Hector", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Avila-Munoz", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering, NSF", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Evan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Heit", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Division of Research on Learning, Directorate for Education & Human Resources, NSF", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Chris", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hoadley", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering, Division of Research on Learning, Directorate for Education & Human Resources, NSF", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Laura", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Namy", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences, NSF", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Alumit", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Ishai", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences, NSF", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Betty", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Tuller", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences, NSF", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2015-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25372/galley/14996/download/" } ] }
