Age of acquisition and lexical processing
Visual Cognition, 2006Following a brief history of age of acquisition (AoA) research and consideration of measures of AoA, this review examines AoA effects in lexical processing tasks (such as object naming, word reading, and word recognition in the lexical decision task), and in object recognition and semantic processing tasks.

Age of acquisition estimates for 3,000 disyllabic words
Behavior Research Methods, 2012Age of acquisition (AoA) ratings based on a 1-7 scale for 3,000 disyllabic words were obtained from 32 participants. We demonstrate that these estimates are both reliable and valid. These estimates add to those collected on monosyllabic words and are of value to researchers interested in factors that contribute to word processing. They also can be used

CEO's age and acquisition behaviors of REITs
Real Estate Economics, 2021AbstractThis paper examines how the investment activities of REITs are affected by the age of their CEOs. Tracking the property acquisition activities of 150 REIT CEOs between 1974 and 2017, we find robust evidence of younger CEOs engaging more frequently and spending more monies on property acquisitions.

Age-of-acquisition ratings for 30,000 English words
Behavior Research Methods, 2012We present age-of-acquisition (AoA) ratings for 30,121 English content words (nouns, verbs, and adjectives). For data collection, this megastudy used the Web-based crowdsourcing technology offered by the Amazon Mechanical Turk. Our data indicate that the ratings collected in this way are as valid and reliable as those collected in laboratory conditions

Age of acquisition: Its neural and computational mechanisms.
Psychological Bulletin, 2007The acquisition of new skills over a life span is a remarkable human ability. This ability, however, is constrained by age of acquisition (AoA); that is, the age at which learning occurs significantly affects the outcome. This is most clearly reflected in domains such as language, music, and athletics.

The validity of age‐of‐acquisition ratings
British Journal of Psychology, 1980A number of recent studies have reported that words rated by adults as early acquired are retrieved more rapidly than words rated as later acquired. Age‐of‐acquisition ratings have been found to be highly reliable, but the validity of the ratings has been little investigated. This paper reports two validation studies.

Age of acquisition in second language thinking
2022Abstract Debates around age effects in L2 learning have mostly centred around the domains of phonology, morphosyntax, and lexis. In this chapter, we expand the scope to conceptual and cognitive restructuring, much in line with Long’s (1990, 2013) discussion of the limits of age effects.

Word age-of-acquisition effects: a review
Current Psychological Reviews, 1981This paper reviews research concerned with word age-of-acquisition (AOA) effects in adult word recognition and production. Methodological issues, including the use of multiple regression techniques, are considered first. The pattern of substantive results is presented and is interpreted as indicating that AOA effects are most marked in word production ...

Age of acquisition effects on word generation
European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2005An early demonstration of the impact of when words were learned was found by Loftus and Suppes (1972). They showed that children's vocabulary had a significant effect on adult word generation times. However their stimuli were not explicitly rated for age of acquisition (AoA).

The Age of Acquisition: New Crime
2012The notion of instant gratification/acquisition as a motivation for crime (as opposed to careful, methodical planning) is hardly a new one, and while modern instances of the phenomenon (both in the cinema and the society which it reflects) are generally ascribed to the Thatcher era and its celebration of entitlement values throughout the country, it is
