The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In cognitive psychology, longer intersession intervals are thought to enhance long‐term retention (i.e., lag effects). Recently, scholars have begun to test the generalizability of the lag effect to L2 vocabulary and grammar acquisition. Following their step, the present study not only replicated the lag effect but also provided a more fine ...
