This chapter reports a methodological synthesis of experimental tasks used in research of
automaticity in second language (L2) comprehension. Our survey yielded 34 instances of …

This study compares incidental vocabulary learning in reading-while-listening and reading-
only conditions. Using both offline and online outcome measures, I assessed explicit form …

This chapter presents an overview of extant research on practice and automatization.
Identifying what kind of “practice” is effective for automatization—the gradual and extended …

The question of whether there is an interface (direct connection) between explicit and
implicit knowledge has driven SLA theory and research for over four decades. Traditionally …

The multidimensional conceptualization of vocabulary knowledge has been extraordinarily
influential in lexical research. Yet, the few studies that have empirically explored the …

Second language (L2) listening requires efficient processing of continuing incoming
information (Vandergrift & Goh, 2012). Even so, research into individual differences in L2 …

Response times (RTs) have become ubiquitous in second language acquisition (SLA)
research, providing empirical evidence for the theorization of the language learning process …

Neurocognitive measures have only scarcely been used in second language (L2)
vocabulary research. Traditionally, L2 vocabulary knowledge has been gauged by using off …

I investigated the trajectory of processing variability, as measured by coefficient of variation
(CV), using an intentional word learning experiment and reanalyzing published eye-tracking …

A slowdown or a speedup in response times across experimental conditions can be taken
as evidence of online deployment of knowledge. However, response-time difference …
