Morgan-Short, Kara; Marsden, Emma; Heil, Jeanne; Issa, Bernard I., II.; Leow, Ronald P.; Mikhaylova, Anna; Mikolajczak, Sylwia; Moreno, Nina; Slabakova, Roumyana; Szudarski, Pawel – Language Learning, 2018
We conducted a multisite replication study with aspects of preregistration in order to explore the feasibility of such an approach in second language (L2) research. To this end, we addressed open questions in a line of research that has examined whether having learners attend to form while reading or listening to a L2 passage interferes with…

Keating, Gregory D. – Language Learning, 2022
Montrul's (2008) onset age hypothesis predicts that, if attrition occurs in early bilingualism, it will be more severe in simultaneous than in sequential bilinguals. This study tested that prediction in an eye-tracking experiment focused on the processing of Spanish gender agreement during sentence reading. Heritage Spanish speakers exposed to…

Granena, Gisela; Yilmaz, Yucel – Language Learning, 2019
This study investigated the relative effectiveness of two instructional interventions (implicit and explicit feedback) as a function of implicit sequence-learning ability. Second language (L2) attainment was measured by means of a self-paced reading task, which shows online sensitivity to language errors. Implicit sequence-learning ability was…

Reali, Florencia – Language Learning, 2014
The processing difficulty of nested grammatical structure has been explained by different psycholinguistic theories. Here I provide corpus and behavioral evidence in favor of usage-based models, focusing on the case of object relative clauses in Spanish as a first language. A corpus analysis of spoken Spanish reveals that, as in English, the…
