Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • Children's ability to construct coherent narratives varies.
  • Understanding how children process spoken language in real-time is crucial for developmental research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the online processing of spoken discourse in children.
  • To examine how individual differences in comprehension relate to discourse processing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a visual world paradigm with eye-tracking.
  • Recorded eye movements of 69 children (6-11 years) listening to a story and viewing corresponding images.
  • Analyzed fixation patterns following proper names versus anaphoric pronouns.

Main Results:

  • On-target fixations increased after hearing proper names, but not anaphoric pronouns.
  • Good comprehenders anticipated anaphoric pronoun referents better than poor comprehenders.
  • Comprehension differences correlate with online processing of discourse cues.

Conclusions:

  • Individual differences in discourse comprehension stem from online processing of entity accessibility.
  • Children's ability to track referents in discourse develops over time.
  • Eye-tracking reveals real-time cognitive mechanisms underlying language comprehension.
