The effects of bilingualism on the structure of the hippocampus and its relationship to memory performance in ageing bilinguals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-05)Long-term management of more than one language has been argued to contribute to changes in brain and cognition. This has been particularly well documented in older age, where bilingualism has been linked to protective effects against neurocognitive decline. Since memory difficulties are key aspects of this decline, herein we examine potential effects of bilingualism on the hippocampus, a brain ... -
The effects of contextual diversity on incidental vocabulary learning in the native and a foreign language
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-18)Vocabulary learning occurs throughout the lifespan, often implicitly. For foreign language learners, this is particularly challenging as they must acquire a large number of new words with little exposure. In the present study, we explore the effects of contextual diversity—namely, the number of texts a word appears in—on native and foreign language word learning. Participants read several texts that ... -
The effects of discourse topic on global and local markers in Croatian ditransitives
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-04)This study investigates the impact that discourse topic has on (i) word order (global marking) and (ii) referring expression (local marking), in ditransitive structures in Croatian preschoolers and adult controls.

The effects of language and emotionality of stimuli on vocabulary learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-07)Learning new content and vocabulary in a foreign language can be particularly difficult. Yet, there are educational programs that require people to study in a language they are not native speakers of. For this reason, it is important to understand how these learning processes work and possibly differ from native language learning, as well as to develop strategies to ease this process. The current ... -

To that end, Spanish university students watched an intentionally created video which contained Spanish target words that were ... -

Eiendom på russisk. Er свой og sin så like som vi tror?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-11-09)I denne oppgaven ser jeg på hvordan eiendomspronomen brukes på norsk og russisk. Sin på norsk og свой russisk skal i teorien kunne brukes likt i 3.person. Så hvorfor da fikk jeg stadig høre om norske studenter som hadde problemer med å bruke eiendomspronomen rett på russisk? Var dette isolert til kun å gjelde 1.person og 2.person, der refleksivt pronomen ikke kunne brukes på norsk, men kunne brukes ... -
