High variability phonetic training in adaptive adverse conditions is rapid, effective, and sustained (2018)
Journal Article
Leong, C. X. R., Price, J. M., Pitchford, N. J., & van Heuven, W. J. (2018). High variability phonetic training in adaptive adverse conditions is rapid, effective, and sustained. PLoS ONE, 13(10), 1-24. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0204888

This paper evaluates a novel high variability phonetic training paradigm that involves presenting spoken words in adverse conditions. The effectiveness, generalizability, and longevity of this high variability phonetic training in adverse conditions...

Revisiting the neighborhood: how L2 proficiency and neighborhood manipulation affect biliingual processing (2018)
Journal Article
Mulder, K., van Heuven, W. J., & Dijkstra, T. (2018). Revisiting the neighborhood: how L2 proficiency and neighborhood manipulation affect biliingual processing. Frontiers in Psychology, 9, Article 1860. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01860

We conducted three neighborhood experiments with Dutch–English bilinguals to test effects of L2 proficiency and neighborhood characteristics within and between languages. In the past 20 years, the English (L2) proficiency of this population has consi...

Learning with multi-representational texts in a second language: An eye-tracking investigation (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaafar, N. M., Ainsworth, S. E., & van Heuven, W. J. (2018, June). Learning with multi-representational texts in a second language: An eye-tracking investigation. Presented at International Conference of the Learning Sciences, London, UK

© ISLS. Integrating verbal and pictorial information is fundamental in learning multi-representational materials and is reported to correlate with various positive outcomes of learning. To investigate how non-native English readers engage with multi-... Read More about Learning with multi-representational texts in a second language: An eye-tracking investigation.

Electrophysiological dynamics of Chinese phonology during visual word recognition in Chinese-English bilinguals (2018)
Journal Article
Wen, Y., Filik, R., & van Heuven, W. J. (in press). Electrophysiological dynamics of Chinese phonology during visual word recognition in Chinese-English bilinguals. Scientific Reports, 8, Article 6869. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-25072-w

Silent word reading leads to the activation of orthographic (spelling), meaning, as well as phonological (sound) information. For bilinguals, native language information can also be activated automatically when they read words in their second languag...

Limitations of translation activation in masked priming: Behavioural evidence from Chinese-English bilinguals and computational modelling (2018)
Journal Article
Wen, Y., & van Heuven, W. J. (2018). Limitations of translation activation in masked priming: Behavioural evidence from Chinese-English bilinguals and computational modelling. Journal of Memory and Language, 101, 84-96. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2018.03.004

Electrophysiological and behavioural evidence suggests that Chinese translations of English words are automatically activated when Chinese-English bilinguals read English words (e.g., Thierry & Wu, 2007; Wu & Thierry, 2010; Zhang, van Heuven, & Conkl...
