Where does the delay in L2 picture naming come from? Psycholinguistic and neurocognitive evidence on second language word production (2011, background): “The debate about the locus of the delay is thus related to the locus of selection issue (Costa, La Heij, & Navarrete, 2006; Kroll et al., 2006).”
The influence of semantic constraints on bilingual word recognition during sentence reading (2011, background): “In particular, the semantic constraint manipulation in the Libben and Titone study is much weaker than in the earlier studies (Schwartz & Kroll, 2006; Van Hell & De Groot, 2008).”
More use almost always a means a smaller frequency effect: Aging, bilingualism, and the weaker links hypothesis. (2008, background): “To accommodate the results of Experiment 1, competition for selection between translation equivalents (e.g., Green, 1998; Hermans et al., 1998; Lee & Williams, 2001; Kroll et al., 2006) would have to be instantiated such that low-frequency targets would suffer more from the addition of translation e”
Language control in bilinguals: The adaptive control hypothesis (2013, background): “The targets of language control then may differ in their linguistic level and so the precise locus of control effects will vary (Kroll et al., 2006).”
Bilingual Minds (2009, background): “A more complete review of these issues is presented by Kroll et al. (2006).”
Syntactic alignment and shared word order in code-switched sentence production: Evidence from bilingual monologue and dialogue (2010, background): “Dutch or an English verb in SVO mid-description switches and a high preference to use a Dutch verb in SOV and VSO mid-description switches is in line with Myers-Scotton’s (1997), Myers-Scotton’s (2002) matrix language proposal that the language of the verb needs to match grammatically with the chose”
Understanding the Consequences of Bilingualism for Language Processing and Cognition (2013, background): “Perhaps the most counterintuitive evidence for the parallel activation of the bilingual’s two languages comes from research on lexical production, where the intention to speak a word in one language is not sufficient to constrain activation to lexical candidates in that language (e.g., Costa, 2005; ”
Control mechanisms in bilingual language production: Neural evidence from language switching studies (2008, background): “de Bot & Schreuder, 1993 ; Green, 1998 ; Roelofs, 2003 ); between lemmas in different languages (Green, 1998 ) or between word forms or their response (Finkbeiner et al, 2006 ) or at more than one site (Green, 1986 , 1998 ; Kroll, Bobb, & Wodniecka, 2006 ).”
What causes the bilingual disadvantage in verbal fluency?: The dual-task analogy (2010, background): “…see Costa, 2005; La Heij, 2005), and all models that accept the notion of interference between languages propose an asymmetry such that interference is greater in non-dominant language production than it is for the dominant language (Green, 1998; for reviews, see Kroll et al., 2006, 2008).”
Juggling Two Languages in One Mind (2008, background): “Information about both languages is active (e.g., Costa, 2005; Kroll et al., 2006) often to the point where the translation of the word to be spoken is on the tip of the bilingual’s tongue.”
Bilingual language production: The neurocognition of language representation and control (2007, background): “Empirically, there may be no single locus at which language selection occurs (see Kroll et al., 2006) and, if so, different cognitive and neural mechanisms will be involved in managing and in resolving competition.”
