Where does the delay in L2 picture naming come from? Psycholinguistic and neurocognitive evidence on second language word production (2011, background): “Izura and Ellis ( 2002 ), in a behavioural study with Spanish (L1)–English (L2) bilinguals demonstrated the existence of an AoA effect on naming and lexical decision in both languages.”
Language selectivity is the exception, not the rule: Arguments against a fixed locus of language selection in bilingual speech (2006, background): “Although there is some debate concerning the locus of the AoA effects in production, the evidence clearly suggests that there are independent contributions of AoA in the L1 and L2 (e.g. Izura and Ellis, 2002).”
More use almost always a means a smaller frequency effect: Aging, bilingualism, and the weaker links hypothesis. (2008, background): “…than high-frequency names, and within bilinguals whether low-frequency names showed a bigger AoA discrepancy between Spanish and English than high frequency names (Izura & Ellis, 2002; 2004 demonstrated that AoA effects reflect the age at which words are learned in each specific language).”
The influence of age of acquisition in word reading and other tasks : A never ending story ? (2004, background): “Izura and Ellis (2002) found anAoA effect in lexical decision times to words in the second language (acquired after childhood) of Spanish-English bilinguals, but the words do not appear to inherit any AoA advantage from any semantically based representations from their first language.”
FIRST LANGUAGE ACTIVATION DURING SECOND LANGUAGE LEXICAL PROCESSING: An Investigation of Lexical Form, Meaning, and Grammatical Class (2006, background): “…with the L1 and the L2 influencing each other more equally+ However, because most proficient bilinguals maintain dominance in one of their two languages, the effects are rarely perfectly symmetric ~see Izura & Ellis, 2002, for evidence on the effects of age of acquisition on lexical access!+”
Increasing Young Low‐Income Children’s Oral Vocabulary Repertoires through Rich and Focused Instruction (2007, background): “A key aspect of the argument for teaching young children sophisticated words is that the earlier word meanings are learned, the more readily they are accessed later in life ( Izura & Ellis, 2002; Turner, Valentine, & Ellis, 1998).”
Emotion-memory effects in bilingual speakers: A levels-of-processing approach* (2009, methodology): “Future research could determine if age-of-acquisition is more important for recall within a language than is ageof-acquisition of the lexical item, following the logic described by Izura and Ellis (2002).”
