The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Foreign language aptitude theory: Yesterday, today and tomorrow (2016, background): “Aptitude could be linked to this research (Schumann 2004; Carpenter 2008; Xiang et al. 2012).”
Willingness to Communicate in the Second Language: Understanding the Decision to Speak as a Volitional Process (2007, background): “A significant, added advantage of the volitional approach advocated in this article is the potential to integrate more fully physiological and, in particular, neurobiological (see Porges, 2003; Porges, 2007; Schumann et al., 2004) processes into theories of L2 communication (see also Beatty & McCros”
Age and Second Language Acquisition and Processing: A Selective Overview (2006, background): “Schumann (1997, 2001) and colleagues (Schumann et al., 2004) have argued that DA is involved in basal ganglia functions in L2A, some of which are implicated in motivation to learn and learning reinforcement.”
Willingness to communicate and action control (2010, background): “We believe that Kuhl’s theory can be very helpful in explaining the results of the decision making ‘Rubicons’discussed earlier and has the added potential to link to modern research on brain-based motivation for language learning (for example, Schumann et al., 2004).”
