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

Acquisition by processing: A modular perspective on language development (2004, background): “It directly predicts the existence of frequency effects (e.g. Schwartz and Terrell, 1983; Gershkoff-Stowe, 2002) and the typically gradual, non-discrete character of learning.”
Talking to children matters: Early language experience strengthens processing and builds vocabulary (2013, background): “…lead to differences in vocabulary size: Infants who hear more talk have more opportunities to interpret language and to exercise skills that are vital to word learning, such as segmenting speech and accessing lexical representations (Gershkoff-Stowe, 2002; Saffran, Newport, & Aslin, 1996).”
Dynamic Systems Theories (2007, background): “In their discussion, Thelen and Bates give representation to all theoretical perspectives but Gibson, noting that while some dynamic systems theorists eschew representation (Smith et al., 1999; Thelen & Smith, 1994), others embrace it (Spencer & Schoner, 2003). However, what one concludes depends on”
U-Shaped Changes in Behavior: A Dynamic Systems Perspective (2004, background): “Perseverative naming is also observed in older children acquiring many new words (Gershkoff-Stowe, 2002), in normal adult speakers under speeded naming conditions (Dell, 1986), and in adult aphasics (Dell, Schwartz, Martin, Saffran, & Gagnon, 1997).”
