The stability-plasticity dilemma: investigating the continuum from catastrophic forgetting to age-limited learning effects (2013, background): “Various studies working within this perspective haveshown that words acquired early are processed faster and more accurately than words acquired later in life (see Juhasz, 2005; Johnston and Barry, 2006 for reviews).”
Computational Evidence That Frequency Trajectory Theory Does Not Oppose But Emerges From Age-of-Acquisition Theory (2012, unknown): “A large number of studies have provided convincing evidence of age-limited learning effects in lexical processing tasks (Johnston & Barry, 2006; Juhasz, 2005 for reviews) using age-of-acquisition (AoA) norms collected either from adult ratings (subjective AoA norms) or from children’s performance…”
SUBTLEX-NL: A new measure for Dutch word frequency based on film subtitles (2010, background): “This source gained importance in research on the age-of-acquisition effect in visual word recognition, which demonstrates that words learned early in life keep a processing advantage over words learned later in life, even when corrected for the best possible frequency norms (for reviews, see Ghyseli”
Short article: The effects of age of acquisition and frequency trajectory on object naming: Comments on Pérez (2007) (2009, unknown): “, Jorm, 1991), they may well be contaminated by judgements of general word processing ease, which complicates theoretical interpretations of their effects (see Barbarotto, Laiacona, & Capitani, 2005). Second, more recent studies have used so-called objective measures of AoA based upon when children ”
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).”
Frequency Trajectory Gives Rise to an Age-Limited Learning Effect as a Function of Input-Output Mapping in Connectionist Networks (2009, background): “…of studies have convincingly shown that words acquired early in life are processed faster and more accurately than words acquired later in life (Johnston & Barry, 2006; Juhasz, 2005 for recent reviews) using age of acquisition (AoA) norms collected from either adult ratings or from children's…”
