Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if text can support children in learning new verbs in healthy children ages three through six. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does text support help children learn new verbs? Does a child's relative benefit from text support vary according to their literacy skills?

Participants will

* Watch videos of actions and hear novel words
* Name alphabet sounds to determine their literacy skills

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Verb learning with only visual and auditory support

This is "gold standard" learning scenario for young children.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Verb learning with auditory, visual, and text support

Participants receive the added support of text to determine if this additional support helps them learn novel words with higher accuracy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Orthographic facilitation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Half of participants will receive orthographic support (text support) while learning new verbs. The investigators will compare learning with and without text support to determine if this aids verb learning.

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.
