    • Multisite Replication in Second Language Acquisition Research: Attention to Form During Listening and Reading Comprehension 

      Morgan-Short, Kara; Marsden, Emma; Heil, Jeanne; Issa, Bernard I; Leow, Ronald P.; Mikhaylova, Anna; Mikolajczak, Sylwia; Moreno, Nina; Slabakova, Roumyana; Szudarski, Pawel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-24)
      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 comprehension. Our results are consistent with findings ...

    • Predicting Second Language Proficiency with Resting-State Brain Rhythms. 

      Ogunniyi, Victoria; Abugaber, David; Finestrat, Irene; Luque, Alicia; Morgan-Short, Kara (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-24)
      Understanding what traits facilitate second language (L2) learning has been the focus of many psycholinguistic studies for the last thirty years. One source of insight comes from quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), i.e., electrical brain activity recorded from the scalp. Using qEEG, Prat et al. [1] found that functional brain connectivity is predictive of language learning ability. This study ...

    • The relationship between cognitive control and second language proficiency 

      Luque, Alicia; Morgan-Short, Kara (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-20)
      In the past 20 years, the field of bilingualism has made a substantial effort to better understand the set of cognitive mechanisms that allow bilinguals to functionally manage and use their languages. Among the mechanisms that have been identified, cognitive control has been posited to be key for proficient bilingual language processing and use. However, the role of cognitive control in developing ...
