Cognitive and Linguistic Predictors of Language Control in Children

Dear Colleagues,

Research in developmental neuropsychology is multiplying to study how linguistic and cognitive processes interact to enable children to master oral and/or written language. Indeed, we can note the development of work on the interactions between executive functions, cognitive control, memory and oral as well as written language. These studies have implications for increasing our scientific knowledge in the fields of neuroscience, neuropsychology, developmental psychology and cognitive psychology, while also enabling us to propose innovative approaches to care in the field of disability. 

This Special Issue will provide a resource for clinicians, incorporating recent research and information from developmental neuropsychology and related disciplines. Original research and theoretical contributions (reviews, hypotheses, and opinion articles on future directions) in typical and atypical development are welcome.

Prof. Dr. Agnes Lacroix
Guest Editor
