    Researchers of the Month: Professor Saloni Krishnan and Professor Pablo Ripollés Discuss the Role of Intrinsic Reward in Word Learning

    Relatively little work has focused on why we are motivated to learn words. In this interview, our researchers of the month talk to Dr Cassie Rhodes about the findings of their new study, which assessed whether children and teens experience a sense of intrinsic reward from word learning. They discuss how these findings might be useful in designing interventions focusing on vocabulary learning and reading, and talk about ongoing research into why some children, such as those with dyslexia or developmental language disorder, might struggle with word learning, and what role intrinsic reward plays.
