Do children need concurrent prompts in order to use lexical analogies in reading?
Article Abstract:
Two experiments were conducted to examine if children need concurrent prompts in using lexical analogies in reading. Children participants were taught a word and provided with reminders of the word while reading non-familiar analogous words. Results found that privileged improvement for rime and onset analogous words was not exhibited when these concurrent prompts were not present. This indicated that Goswani's analogy model (1993) may have only partial application in realistic settings.

Enhanced visual search for a conjunctive target in autism: A research note
Article Abstract:
Visual search tasks were given to children with and without autism. Normally developing control children searched slow for the conjunctive task than the feature task, but children with autism did not exhibited any significant slowing in reaction time in the conjunctive task, and were actually faster than control children.
