Bilingualism: The good, the bad, and the indifferent* (2009, background): “Alternatively, Hernandez and Li (2007) propose a sensorimotor account that involves the age of acquisition of the vocabulary in each language, with different outcomes depending on the age of L2 acquisition.”
Moving toward a neuroplasticity view of bilingualism, executive control, and aging (2014, background): “Although such variables as age of L2 acquisition (e.g., Hernandez & Li, 2007; Kim et al., 1997) and the proficiency of the participants have been explored to some extent (Chee, Soon, Lee, & Pallier, 2004; Perani et al., 1998), few studies have taken into consideration the processing and production…”
Nonsense, common sense, and science of expert performance: Talent and individual differences (2014, background): “…1949, 1978), as they have for numerous other skills in humans and animals, such as binocular vision, song learning in birds, absolute pitch in humans (by the age of 7),word acquisition, second-language learning, and so on (see Hernandez & Li, 2007 for an extensive review of ‘age of acquisition’).”
Bilingual first-language development: Dominant language takeover, threatened minority language take-up* (2009, background): “In addition, recent neuro-imaging studies suggest, in fact, that age of acquisition in bilinguals can affect neurological structures, and may do so differently for syntax versus semantics (Hernández, Martinez and Kohnert, 2000; Hernández and Li, 2007).”
Bilinguals reading in their second language do not predict upcoming words as native readers do (2013, unknown): “1 (Elston-Güttler & Friederici, 2007; Hahne, 2001; Moreno & Kutas, 2005; Weber-Fox et al., 2003), suggesting that semantic processing is slower for reading in L2 than in L1 (for reviews , see Hernandez & Li, 2007; Kotz, 2009; Kotz & Elston-Guettler, 2007; Kutas, Moreno, & Wicha, 2009).”
Foreign Language Teaching and Learning (2015, background): “Researchers have typically aimed at understanding how early versus late learning affects successful acquisition, and discussed this issue in terms of a critical period of acquisition in which language acquisition seemed to depend on appropriate input during this time frame (Hernandez and Ping, 2007)”
ERP signatures of subject–verb agreement in L2 learning (2007, background): “Second, there might also be a syntactic versus semantic difference with respect to how fast L2 learners can pick up the non-native patterns (see also Hernandez and Li 2007 for a discussion regarding this difference).”
Second Language Proficiency and Cross-Language Lexical Activation (2012, background): “…to converge on the notion that L2 proficiency is the more decisive factor in lexical access and lexical-semantic processing, whereas age of acquisition is a more important determinant of grammatical processing in the L2 (for a review, see Hernandez & Li, 2007; but see Dimitropoulou et al., 2011b).”
Cognitive control and lexical access in younger and older bilinguals. (2008, result): “This explanation is plausible and is consistent with a variety of evidence indicating the role of such frequency effects on performance both in general and in the specific case of second language acquisition (Hernandez & Li, 2007).”
