TL;DR: The result of the study indicates that computer confidence had significant effects on user perception of task complexity while the effects of computer liking were minimal, suggesting that at various task levels, increasing computer experience may help reduce computer anxiety.

TL;DR: This paper explored the hypothesis that representation, as measured by object-permanence attainment in sensorimotor stage 6, is the main prerequisite for language acquisition and found that differing definitions of representation, differing assumptions about cognitive stages, and differing criteria for assessing cognitive abilities such as object permanence may account for divergent research results.
Abstract: CORRIGAN, ROBERTA. Cognitive Correlates of Language: Differential Criteria Yield Differential Results. CmLD DEVELOPMENT, 1979, 50, 617-631. The growing number of studies on cognitive correlates for early language acquisition have produced results that are not always in agreement on what emerges when. This paper explores the hypothesis that representation, as measured by object-permanence attainment in sensorimotor stage 6, is the main prerequisite for language acquisition. In particular, it is shown that differing definitions of representation, differing assumptions about cognitive stages, and differing criteria for assessing cognitive abilities such as object permanence may account for some of the divergent research results. Further understanding of the relationship between language and cognitive development requires the precise specification of which cognitive behaviors correlate with which language behaviors, as well as more attention to details of task analysis and administration.

TL;DR: Idiom comprehension was assessed in 10 aphasic patients with semantic deficits by means of a string-to-picture matching task, and patients were submitted to an oral explanation of the same idioms, and to a word comprehension task.
