“…Past studies have shown that a think‐aloud procedure has positive effects on inference generation and text comprehension in children with language impairments (Gillam, Fargo, & Robertson, 2009; McClintock, Pesco, & Martin‐Chang, 2014), presumably because engaging in the think‐aloud might help reflect the children’s thoughts back to them in a way that shaped and benefited comprehension (McClintock et al., 2014; Sönmez & Sulak, 2018). The verbalization inherent to the think‐aloud might also help transform inferences from implicit to explicit information, and thus enables the processing of relevant information to facilitate problem‐solving (Baldo, Paulraj, Curran, & Dronkers, 2015; Carpendale, Lewis, Susswein, & Lunn, 2009; McClintock et al., 2014; Park, Korbach, & Brünken, 2020). Moreover, think‐alouds also provide a window into children’s thinking, and enable the mediator to provide appropriate mediation.…”
