An eye movement corpus study of the age-of-acquisition effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In the present study, we investigated the effects of word-level age of acquisition (AoA) on natural reading. Previous studies, using multiple language modalities, showed that earlier-learned words are recognized, read, spoken, and responded to faster ...

Changes in White-Matter Connectivity in Late Second Language Learners: Evidence from Diffusion Tensor Imaging

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
Morphological brain changes as a consequence of new learning have been widely established. Learning a second language (L2) is one such experience that can lead to rapid structural neural changes. However, still relatively little is known about how levels
