Adult learners have persistent difficulty processing second language (L2) inflectional
morphology. We investigate associative learning explanations that involve the blocking of …

In this chapter we review eye-tracking methodology as a way to investigate aspects of
implicit and explicit L2 processing, given that the research context allows one to do so. We …

Collocational knowledge is central to communicative competence, but many second
language (L2) learners struggle to acquire this aspect. To address this limitation, the present …

Research consistently shows that adults engaged in tutored acquisition benefit from explicit

The past 30 years of reading research has confirmed the importance of bottom-up
processing. Rather than a psycholinguistic guessing game (Goodman, 1967), reading is …

This eye tracking experiment tests how the brain recognizes and processes hybrid German-
English word-formations and how this process compares to monolingual items. Thirty …

Multilingual classrooms and online communication are becoming increasingly linguistically
diverse due to globalization and new discourse patterns are emerging. Many of these …

During the past decade, literature on cognitive approaches to second language acquisition
(SLA) and bilingualism has flourished spectacularly (see Grosjean & Lee 2013; …
