Are Faster Participants Always Faster? Assessing Reliability of Participants’ Mean Response Speed in Picture Naming

Journal of Cognition
Studies of language production often make use of picture naming tasks to investigate the cognitive processes involved in speaking, and many of these studies report a wide range of individual variability in how long speakers need to prepare the name of a ...

The Bilingual Native Speaker Competence: Evidence From Explicit and Implicit Language Knowledge Using Elicited Production, Sentence-Picture Matching, and Pupillometry

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
The present pilot study investigated potential effects of early and late child bilingualism in highly proficient adult bilinguals. It has been shown that some early second language (eL2) speakers stagnate when it comes to complex linguistic phenomena and

Assessing the Evidence for Asymmetrical Switch Costs and Reversed Language Dominance Effects – A Meta-Analysis

Journal of Cognition, 2021
Two seemingly counterintuitive phenomena – asymmetrical language switch costs and the reversed language dominance effect – prove to be particularly controversial in the literature on language control.

Effects of Naming Language and Switch Predictability on Switch Costs in Bilingual Language Production

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Switch costs are defined as the phenomenon that bilinguals have worse performance in switch trials relative to non-switch trials. Bilinguals’ naming language and switch predictability have been found to influence the magnitude of switch costs.

An Information-Theoretic Account of Semantic Interference in Word Production

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
I present a computational-level model of semantic interference effects in online word production within a rate–distortion framework. I consider a bounded-rational agent trying to produce words.

Cognate Facilitation in Child Third Language Learners in a Multilingual Setting

Languages
Research has established cognate facilitation effects as a robust finding in bilingual adults and children. Recent studies suggest that cognate facilitation also occurs in highly proficient trilingual adults and can even accumulate across languages.

Theta Band (4–8 Hz) Oscillations Reflect Online Processing of Rhythm in Speech Production

Brain Sciences, 2022
How speech prosody is processed in the brain during language production remains an unsolved issue. The present work used the phrase-recall paradigm to analyze brain oscillation underpinning rhythmic processing in speech production. Participants were told

Codeswitching: A Bilingual Toolkit for Opportunistic Speech Planning

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
The ability to engage in fluent codeswitching is a hallmark of the flexibility and creativity of bilingual language use. Recent discoveries have changed the way we think about codeswitching and its implications for language processing and language ...

Implications of the “Language as Situated” View for Written Iconicity

Journal of Cognition, 2021
In their review, Murgiano, Motamedi, and Vigliocco (2020) lay out a new perspective in which they argue that language should be understood as a situated phenomenon.

Considering the Nature of Multimodal Language from a Crosslinguistic Perspective

Journal of Cognition, 2021
Language in its primary face-to-face context is multimodal (e.g., Holler and Levinson, 2019; Perniss, 2018). Thus, understanding how expressions in the vocal and visual modalities together contribute to our notions of language structure, use, processing,
