• Language development acts as a driver of cognitive structuring across atypical populations, revealing how deafness, autism, intellectual disability shape concept formation and classification [9], [11], [13], [17].

• Word associations underpin grammar acquisition and verbal behavior, showing systematic relationships among lexical form and syntax across typical and atypical development [10], [12], [14].

• Verbalization and anxiety modulate cognitive flexibility and learning in children, guiding performance in reversal shifts, verbal behavior, and general language processing [7], [15], [16].
