Gabriele, Alison; Alemán Bañón, José; Hoffman, Lesa; Covey, Lauren; Rossomondo, Amy; Fiorentino, Robert – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
The present study examines both properties of the language and properties of the learner to better understand variability at the earliest stages of second language (L2) acquisition. We used event-related potentials, an oral production task, and a battery of individual differences measures to examine the processing of number and gender agreement in…

Alemán Bañón, José; Miller, David; Rothman, Jason – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
We examined sources of morphological variability in second language (L2) learners of Spanish whose native language (L1) is English, with a focus on L1-L2 similarity, morphological markedness, and knowledge type (receptive vs. expressive). Experiment 1 uses event-related potentials to examine noun-adjective number (present in L1) and gender…

Alemán Bañón, José; Fiorentino, Robert; Gabriele, Alison – Second Language Research, 2014
Different theoretical accounts of second language (L2) acquisition differ with respect to whether or not advanced learners are predicted to show native-like processing for features not instantiated in the native language (L1). We examined how native speakers of English, a language with number but not gender agreement, process number and gender…
