Typical cues are phonological (the first sound, e.g. “k” for cup) or semantic (a related word, e.g. “purr” for cat) (Heath et al., 2012; Nickels, 2002; Li & Williams, 1990). If the cue is effective, it will facilitate word production and result in more accurate naming (Nickels & Best, 1996).

What is a semantic cue?

Semantic cues refer to the meaning in language that assists in comprehending texts, including words, speech, signs, symbols, and other meaning-bearing forms. Semantic cues involve the learners’ prior knowledge of language, text, and visual media, and their prior life experiences.

What is the difference between cue and Que?
