Is the masked priming same-different task a pure measure of prelexical processing? (2013)
Journal Article
Kelly, A. N., van Heuven, W. J., Pitchford, N. J., & Ledgeway, T. (2013). Is the masked priming same-different task a pure measure of prelexical processing?. PLoS ONE, 8(9), Article e72888. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0072888

To study prelexical processes involved in visual word recognition a task is needed that only operates at the level of abstract letter identities. The masked priming same-different task has been purported to do this, as the same pattern of priming is...

Incidental acquisition of foreign language vocabulary through brief multi-modal exposure (2013)
Journal Article
Bisson, M., van Heuven, W. J., Conklin, K., & Tunney, R. J. (2013). Incidental acquisition of foreign language vocabulary through brief multi-modal exposure. PLoS ONE, 8(4), Article 7. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0060912

First language acquisition requires relatively little effort compared to foreign language acquisition and happens more naturally through informal learning. Informal exposure can also benefit foreign language learning, although evidence for this has b...

The timing and magnitude of Stroop interference and facilitation in monolinguals and bilinguals (2013)
Journal Article
Coderre, E. L., van Heuven, W. J., & Conklin, K. (2013). The timing and magnitude of Stroop interference and facilitation in monolinguals and bilinguals. Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 16(Specia), https://doi.org/10.1017/S1366728912000405

Executive control abilities and lexical access speed in Stroop performance were investigated in English monolinguals and two groups of bilinguals (English–Chinese and Chinese–English) in their first (L1) and second (L2) languages. Predictions were ba... Read More about The timing and magnitude of Stroop interference and facilitation in monolinguals and bilinguals.
