Implicit statistical learning and working memory predict EFL development and written task outcomes in adolescents Open
Investigating the relationship between cognitive individual differences and second language learning has been central to second language acquisition research conducted in controlled laboratory conditions and in educational instructed conte…

Effects of Normal Cognitive Aging on Spoken Word Frequency: Older Adults Exhibit Higher Function Word Frequency and Lower Content Word Frequency than Young Adults Open
Background Recent work indicates that word frequency (WF), broadly defined as an estimate of how often a given word is produced during spontaneous speech, has been shown to be a sensitive marker for conditions like mild cognitive impairmen…

Do verbal and nonverbal declarative memory tasks in second language research measure the same abilities? Open
A growing body of evidence demonstrates that individual differences in declarative memory may be an important predictor of second language (L2) abilities. However, the evidence comes from studies using different declarative memory tasks th…

20 Global and Local Semantic Coherence of Spontaneous Speech in Persons with Alzheimer's Disease and Healthy Controls Open
Objective: Growing evidence demonstrates that subtle changes in spontaneous speech can be used to distinguish older adults with and without cognitive impairment, including those with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent work suggests that quan…

Lexical Speech Features of Spontaneous Speech in Older Persons With and Without Cognitive Impairment: Reliability Analysis Open
Background Speech analysis data are promising digital biomarkers for the early detection of Alzheimer disease. However, despite its importance, very few studies in this area have examined whether older adults produce spontaneous speech wit…

Distinguishable features of spontaneous speech in Alzheimer’s clinical syndrome and healthy controls Open
There is growing evidence that subtle changes in spontaneous speech may reflect early pathological changes in cognitive function. Recent work has found that lexical-semantic features of spontaneous speech predict cognitive dysfunction in i…

Contributions of declarative memory and prior knowledge to incidental L2 vocabulary learning Open
The bulk of second language (L2) vocabulary learning happens incidentally through reading ( Rott, 2007 ; Webb, 2008 ), but individual differences, such as prior knowledge, modulate the efficacy of such incidental learning. One individual d…

Child first language and adult second language are both tied to general-purpose learning systems Open
Significance It has long been debated whether the mechanisms that underlie language are dedicated to this uniquely human capacity or whether in fact they serve more general-purpose functions. Our study provides strong evidence that languag…
