Marecka, Marta; McDonald, Alison; Madden, Gillian; Fosker, Tim – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Research suggests that second language words are learned faster when they are similar in phonological structure or accent to the words of an individual's first language. Many major theories suggest this happens because of differences in frequency of exposure and context between first and second language words. Here, we examine the independent…

Two lines of evidence emerged in the past suggesting that lexical form seemed to play a more important role in the organization of the second language (L2) mental lexicon than in that of the first language (L1) lexicon. They were masked orthographic priming in L2 word recognition and an elevated proportion of form-related responses in L2 word…

Retuning of Lexical-Semantic Representations: Repetition and Spacing Effects in Word-Meaning Priming
Betts, Hannah N.; Gilbert, Rebecca A.; Cai, Zhenguang G.; Okedara, Zainab B.; Rodd, Jennifer M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Current models of word-meaning access typically assume that lexical-semantic representations of ambiguous words (e.g., 'bark of the dog/tree') reach a relatively stable state in adulthood, with only the relative frequencies of meanings and immediate sentence context determining meaning preference. However, recent experience also affects…
