Cognate beginnings to bilingual lexical acquisition
Recent studies suggest that cognateness boosts bilingual lexical acquisition. This study proposes an account in which language co-activation accelerates accumulation of word-learning instances across languages. This account predicts a larger cognate facilitation for words in the lower-exposure language than in the higher-exposure language, as the former receive co-activation from their translations more frequently. Bayesian Item Response Theory w…
Reflexive pronoun resolution in Portuguese
In the present study, we test whether, during reflexive pronoun resolution, structural cues guide both the language processing system and its underlying memory-based mechanisms or whether the latter might be influenced by non-structural cues as well. Specifically, we explore the inhibitory effects caused by similarity-based interference, which may lead to disruption during reading, reflected in slower reading times and lower accuracy rates. We co…
Developmental changes in phonological and semantic priming effects in Spanish-speaking toddlers
Research on the early lexical-semantic system has described how toddlers organize word representations based on semantic and phonological features. This study is a longitudinal investigation of the development of this organization during infancy. Middle-high socioeconomic status Mexican toddlers (n = 28, 15 female) were presented with a preferential looking task using an eye-tracker at 18, 21, and 24 months of age, manipulating semantic and phono…
