TOTAL RUNNING TIME: :25


SUGGESTED STUDIO INTRO: SOME NEW RESEARCH AIMS TO COMBINE COMPUTER SCIENCE WITH COGNITIVE SCIENCE TO HELP KIDS READ BETTER. AS JANET VASIL REPORTS, RESEARCHERS HAVE CRACKED THE CODE TO TEACHING VOCABULARY WITH WORD CLUES.

Students

Text 		WHEN YOU'RE READING AND YOU COME ACROSS A WORD YOU DON'T KNOW - WHAT DO YOU DO? GOOD READERS LIKE THESE OFTEN FIGURE OUT A NEW WORD’S MEANING BY RE-INSPECTING THE TEXT AROUND IT. (:11)
SOT: BILL RAPAPORT, PH.D. SOT: Bill Rapaport, Ph.D.
“The standard way the literature recommends this be taught is, you guess what the word might mean. But they never tell you how to guess.” (:11)
People working on computers

Girl on computer 		BUT IF YOU WANT A COMPUTER TO READ AND TALK, YOU CAN'T TELL IT TO JUST “GUESS.” (:05)
SOT: BILL RAPAPORT, PH.D. SOT: Bill Rapaport, Ph.D.
“So just in order to get computers to be able to deal with natural language and not crash when they come across an unknown word, you need to have techniques for doing this.” (:10)
Dr. Kibby and Dr. Rapaport

TS Pointing to data 		SO HE AND EDUCATION PROFESSOR DOCTOR MICHAEL KIBBY TEAMED UP TO FIND A FORMULA. (:05)
SOT: BILL RAPAPORT, PH.D. SOT: Bill Rapaport, Ph.D.
“We needed to put our heads together and combine the information from both computer science, and philosophy, and linguistics, and reading, and psychology, and education.” (:11)
Drs. Rapaport and Kibby looking at data

Pointing to data 		TOGETHER, THE UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO RESEARCHERS DEVELOPED SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ “GUESS WORK.” (:06)
SOT: MICHAEL KIBBY, PH.D. SOT: Michael Kibby, Ph.D.
“If you say well why are you guys doing this, everybody knows how to do this. Well, that’s not quite true uh, we ought to be able to teach kids how to do it better than they do do.” (:11)
Student talking

Student looking a paper work 		BY STUDYING GOOD READERS, THEY FOUND THE SCIENCE BEHIND DECODING NEW WORDS AND LEARNED, JUST AS STUDENTS WILL, THAT IT DOESN’T -ALWAYS - WORK. (:09)
SOT: MICHAEL KIBBY, PH.D. SOT: Michael Kibby, Ph.D.
“You know sometimes you can spend ten minutes looking at this context and not have a clue what the word means. But you’ve stored that away and the next time you encounter the word you might be a little bit ahead.” (:10)
Teacher and student reading

Student reading 		THEY’LL TURN THEIR FINDINGS INTO A NEW TEACHING METHOD TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT BETTER READING. THIS IS JANET VASIL REPORTING. (:06)


SUGGESTED STUDIO TAG: THIS AREA OF RESEARCH IS CALLED CONTEXTUAL VOCABULARY ACQUISITION OR C-V-A. THE PROFESSORS PLAN TO DEVELOP A CURRICULUM THIS YEAR.

FAST FACTS:
  • Language is a system of communication that develops naturally in all children.

  • Scientists are teaching computers to learn new vocabulary words from context, using a process called contextual vocabulary acquisition.

  • Their research may lead to the development of better ways to teach vocabulary/reading to school children.

For more details, refer to our comprehensive research summary.
