Cognitive Load and Literacy Assessment

[amccoll]

Dear colleagues,

As part of a joint UCLA-USC project on early literacy assessment, we are
looking for research that has examined the impact of the cognitive load of
tasks (or task demands, or the ecological validity of tasks) on children's
language production and/or comprehension.  We would very much appreciate
any suggestions about relevant research on the topic.

We will send a summary of the responses to this query.

Thanks for your help.
