Age-of-acquisition ratings for 30,000 English words (2012, background): “A promising variable to add to the big four is AoA, or the age at which a word was learned (for reviews, see Brysbaert & Ghyselinck, 2006; Ghyselinck, Lewis, & Brysbaert, 2004; Johnston & Barry, 2006; Juhasz, 2005).”
Where does the delay in L2 picture naming come from? Psycholinguistic and neurocognitive evidence on second language word production (2011, background): “In the section headed “The role of age-of-acquisition (AoA)”, we have already discussed the three main hypotheses about the causes of the AoA effect in monolingual production, each placing it at a difference locus within the word production system—at phonological retrieval (eg, Barry et al, 2001; Br”
Age of acquisition and lexical processing (2006, background): “Brysbaert and Ghyselinck (this issue 2006 ) initiate such work by their consideration of “frequency-related” and “frequency-independent” AoA effects.”
