• Parsing and Working Memory in Bilingual Sentence Processing (2016, background): “…the role that individual differences in working memory play in explaining individual differences in L2 attainment has also been widely debated (Juffs, 2004; Juffs & Harrington, 2011; Harrington & Sawyer, 1992; Linck, Osthus, Koeth & Bunting, 2014; Sagarra, 2013; Wen, Mota & McNeill 2015).”
