Vocabulary(week+6)

1. Employ Employ means to use sth, such as a skill. Ex. Given the systematic and rigorous methodology employed in the current study, it is tempting to speculate that the link between tone-order processing and phonological ability observed in those previous studies may have been in some way artifactual.(Bretherton & Holmes, 2003) Bretherton, L., & Holmes, V. M. (2003). The relationship between auditory temporal processing, phonemic awareness, and reading disability. //Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 84//(3), 218-243.

2. Concern Concern means to affect sb or sth. Ex. In conclusion, with respect to the debate concerning whether a general auditory processing deficit or a speech-specific deficit underlies poor phonological processing, the results of the present study are more consistent with the latter view of a speech specific deficit. (Bretherton & Holmes, 2003) Bretherton, L., & Holmes, V. M. (2003). The relationship between auditory temporal processing, phonemic awareness, and reading disability. //Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 84//(3), 218-243.

3. Predictor Predictor means something that can show what will happen in the future. Ex.Note that because we are only interested in whether the successive predictors entered into the model accounted for additional variance in the outcome and not whether that variance was at the child level or classroom level, multiple regression was suitable for our purpose. (Linklater, O'Connor, & Palardy, 2009) Linklater, D. L., O'Connor, R. E., & Palardy, G. J. (2009). Kindergarten literacy assessment of English Only and English language learner students: An examination of the predictive validity of three phonemic awareness measures. //Journal of School Psychology, 47//(6), 369-394.
