Effects of reading span and plausibility in the reanalysis of wh-gaps by Chinese-English second language speakers (2010, background): “It is worth noting that studies that have examined the relationship between availability of cognitive resources and sentence processing in a second language have heretofore not yielded results supporting the existence of such a relationship (e.g. Juffs, 2004, 2005; Felser and Roberts, 2007).”
Aspects of working memory in L2 learning (2011, background): “…WM in various L2 language processes, including reading (Walter 2006, Leeser 2007), writing (Adams & Guillot 2008), sentence processing (Juffs 2004; Felser & Roberts 2007), speaking (Fortkamp 1999; O’Brien et al. 2006), vocabulary development (Papagno & Vallar 1995; Cheung 1996), learning grammar…”
ONLINE PRONOUN RESOLUTION IN L2 DISCOURSE: L1 Influence and General Learner Effects (2008, unknown): “…alone find that L2 learners process such dependencies differently than native speakers, even though they ultimately understand the experimental items ~Felser & Roberts, 2007; Marinis, Roberts, Felser, & Clahsen, 2005!+ The results of these latter studies suggest that the observed differences…”
Plausibility and recovery from garden paths in second language sentence processing (2011, background): “…earlier L2 processing studies showing that learners’ syntactic processing abilities may be reduced or less automatized compared to native speakers’ (Felser & Roberts, 2007; Felser, Roberts, Gross, & Marinis, 2003; Hahne & Friederici, 2001; Marinis, Roberts, Felser, & Clahsen, 2005; Papadopoulou…”
The on-line application of binding Principle A in English as a second language* (2009, background): “The limited influence of (verbal) working memory capacity as measured by standard L1 and L2 reading span tests is consistent with previous L2 sentence processing studies that have found no or limited working memory effects (Juffs, 2004, 2005; Felser and Roberts, 2007).”
SOME NOTES ON THE SHALLOW STRUCTURE HYPOTHESIS (2017, background): “…of filler-gap dependencies, it is not obvious how either of the preceding factors might be responsible for sustained filler activation in L2 processing instead of position-specific reactivation as has been observed in L1 processing (Felser & Roberts, 2007; Jessen, Festman, Boxell, & Felser, 2017).”
Proficiency and working memory based explanations for nonnative speakers’ sensitivity to agreement in sentence processing (2012, background): “In a cross-modal priming study, Felser and Roberts (2007) found that high-span native English speakers, but not low span ones (as assessed by Harrington & Sawyer’s [1992] reading-span test), showed evidence of antecedent reactivation in indirect object (experimental) gap positions but not in pregap…”
Parsing and Working Memory in Bilingual Sentence Processing (2016, background): “…during parsing but construct apparently underspecified syntactic representations in the resolution of syntactic ambiguities (Felser, Roberts, Marinis & Gross, 2003; Papadopoulou & Clahsen, 2003) and linguistic dependencies (Felser & Roberts, 2007; Marinis, Roberts, Felser & Clahsen, 2005).”
Continuity and shallow structures in language processing (2006, result): “Although few studies have investigated the influence of WM on L2 processing, the results available thus far seem to confirm this prediction (see Felser & Roberts, 2005; Juffs, 2004, 2005; Sato & Felser, 2005).”
Morphologically Complex Words in L1 and L2 Processing: Evidence from Masked Priming Experiments in English. (2008, background): “movement traces) during online processing (Marinis, Roberts, Felser, and Clahsen, 2005; Felser and Roberts, 2007).”
Processing empty categories in a second language: When naturalistic exposure fills the (intermediate) gap* (2012, methodology): “The issue of L2 processing of wh-dependencies was also dealt with by Felser and Roberts (2007) using a different methodology.”
Processing Subject-Object Ambiguities in the L2: A Self-Paced Reading Study With German L2 Learners of Dutch (2009, background): “…that we, too, attempted to avoid as much as possible the focusing of readers’ attention on the experimental manipulations, and so Experiment 2 in the current study is more akin to these latter L2 processing studies (Felser & Roberts, 2007; Marinis et al., 2005; Papadopoulou & Clahsen, 2003).”
