Effects of Task Complexity on L2 Writing Behaviors and Linguistic Complexity (2017, methodology): “Several task complexity dimensions have been investigated in relation to linguistic complexity, including reasoning demands (Kuiken & Vedder, 2008; Ruiz-Funes, 2014), number of task elements (Kuiken & Vedder, 2008; Ruiz-Funes, 2014), planning time (Ellis & Yuan, 2004; Kellogg, 1988, 1990; Ong &…”
The Role of Task Complexity, Modality, and Aptitude in Narrative Task Performance (2012, methodology): “This finding is seemingly in contrast with that of Kuiken and Vedder (2008), who found no effect of task complexity in the written mode.”
The Potential Role(s) of Writing in Second Language Development. (2012, background): “Indeed, increasing complexity in writing tasks along this dimension has been shown to result in better performance, in terms of accuracy, and lexical and syntactic complexity (Kuiken & Vedder, 2007, 2008; Zhang, 1987).”
