Task-Based Language Learning (2011, background): “…of task characteristics contributing to their “complexity” on the accuracy, fluency, and complexity of L2 speech production are beginning to appear (Jackson & Suethanapornkul, 2010) and promise to go some way toward resolving competing claims made by Robinson (2001a, 2001b, 2005) and Skehan…”
TBLT implementation and evaluation: A meta-analysis (2019, background): “Jackson and Suethanapornkul (2013) conducted a review of studies that addressed Robinson’s Cognition Hypothesis (see Robinson, 2001).”
Task-Based Learner Production: A Substantive and Methodological Review (2016, background): “For instance, a number of studies have tested Robinson’s (2001) cognition hypothesis and Skehan’s (2009) tradeoff hypothesis, both of which focus on the effect of task complexity on learners’ linguistic performance and interactional competence (see Jackson & Suethanapornkul, 2013, for a review).”
