Investigating the time-course of phonological prediction in native and non-native speakers of English: A visual world eye-tracking study (2018, result): “This finding fits with studies that have found a stronger phonological competitor effect for more proficient L2 speakers relative to less proficient L2 speakers (Blumenfeld & Marian, 2007, 2013).”
Second Language Proficiency and Cross-Language Lexical Activation (2012, background): “Blumenfeld and Marian (2007) explicitly tested the role of variation in L2 proficiency by comparing German-English (German L1) and English-German (English L1) bilinguals who heard object names in English (e.g., “coral,” “click on the coral”) and identified them from a display with four pictures…”
Bilingualism is not a categorical variable: Interaction between language proficiency and usage (2013, background): “The main criterion for inclusion in the bilingual group in most studies is the proficiency level in each of the languages (e.g., Bedore, Peña, Joyner, & Macken, 2011; Blumenfeld & Marian, 2007; Dixon, Wu, & Daraghmeh, 2012; Proverbio, Adorni, & Zani, 2007; Sumiya & Healy, 2008).”
Introducing LexTALE: A quick and valid Lexical Test for Advanced Learners of English (2011, background): “…observed for highversus low-proficient speakers in translation production and recognition (Prior, MacWhinney, & Kroll, 2007; Talamas, Kroll, & Dufour, 1999), spoken word processing (Blumenfeld & Marian, 2007), and phonological processes in word reading (Haigh & Jared, 2007; Jared & Kroll, 2001).”
Dual mechanisms of cognitive control in bilinguals and monolinguals (2013, background): “Many studies have shown that bilinguals activate their 2 languages even in situations where they are required to use only 1 (Blumenfeld & Marian, 2007; Colomé, 2001; Dijkstra, 2005; Hoshino & Thierry, 2011; Ju & Luce, 2004; Kroll & Stewart, 1994; Macizo, Bajo, & Martı́n, 2010; Spivey & Marian,…”
Individual differences in inhibitory control relate to bilingual spoken word processing* (2013, methodology): “…including whether the task is in the L1 or L2 (i.e., Marian & Spivey, 2003a, b), age of acquisition and proficiency of the non-target language (Blumenfeld & Marian, 2007; Canseco-Gonzalez et al., 2010), cross-language phonemic confusability (Cutler et al., 2006; Weber & Cutler, 2004), and…”
Parallel language activation during word processing in bilinguals: Evidence from word production in sentence context* (2013, background): “…this effect both when relatively strong L1 (the native language) and weaker L2 (the second language) served as the target language, other studies (Blumenfeld & Marian, 2007; Marian & Spivey, 2003b; Weber & Cutler, 2004) only obtained the effect with weaker L2 as the target language, indicating…”
Moving toward a neuroplasticity view of bilingualism, executive control, and aging (2014, background): “…young adults have demonstrated activation of candidates from both languages simultaneously (termed nonselective access), particularly if the target language is the listener’s L2 (e.g., Blumenfeld & Marian, 2007; Broersma & Cutler, 2011; Canseco-Gonzalez et al., 2010; Marian & Spivey, 2003a, 2003b).”
