Citations in the corpus
- What causes the bilingual disadvantage in verbal fluency?: The dual-task analogy (2010, methodology): “…2017 at 21:41:17, subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at disadvantage was greater for low-frequency than for high-frequency words (Gollan et al., 2008), and in another study bilinguals experienced more TOTs than monolinguals even for words they tended to know in just one language…”
- Learning (not) to predict: Grammatical gender processing in second language acquisition (2016, background): “As a consequence, gender representations are less stable in that adults create weaker links between nouns and gender nodes (e.g. Gollan et al., 2008), which leads to gender assignment being partially erroneous or variable, such that gender will not be used as a predictive cue in agreement…”
- Bilingual Minds (2009, background): “…between bilinguals and monolinguals in opportunities to learn vocabulary will be less apparent in settings that only require knowledge of relatively easy, frequently occurring words than they will be in settings that require knowledge of difficult, low-frequency words (Gollan et al., 2008).”
- The representation and processing of identical cognates by late bilinguals: RT and ERP effects (2013, background): “Gollan and colleagues (e.g., Gollan & Silverberg, 2001; Gollan et al., 2008) argued that the total time a bilingual speaks is distributed over two languages.”
- Juggling Two Languages in One Mind (2008, background): “…demonstrated disadvantages within the domain of lexical access, as evidenced by slower latencies for naming pictures in their native language (e.g., Gollan et al., 2005, 2008), producing fewer category exemplars in a verbal fluency task in their native language (Gollan, Montoya, & Werner, 2002),…”
- Moving toward a neuroplasticity view of bilingualism, executive control, and aging (2014, background): “Moreover, it has been hypothesized that this bilingual disadvantage in production should be reduced in older adults because they have had more time to make frequent use of all words in both languages (e.g., Gollan et al., 2008).”
- Receptive vocabulary differences in monolingual and bilingual children (2009, background): “Two explanations for that effect are weaker connections between words and concepts for bilinguals (Gollan, Montoya, Cera & Sandoval, 2008) and conflict between words in the two languages (Green, 1998).”
- Early language experience facilitates the processing of gender agreement in Spanish heritage speakers* (2013, background): “Mature native speakers whose primary language is Spanish do not exhibit gaps with declarative memory because they use the language more frequently on a daily basis and the lexical association links remain strong for both canonical and non-canonical ending nouns (Gollan et al., 2008).”
- Finding le mot juste: Differences between bilingual and monolingual children's lexical access in comprehension and production* (2009, background): “Researchers are not in agreement as to whether bilingual adults activate both their languages in production tasks or not (see Lee and Williams, 2001; Costa, 2004; Finkbeiner et al., 2006; Gollan et al., 2008; see also Mahon, Costa, Peterson, Vargas and Caramazza, 2007).”
- Dominance and Age in Bilingualism. (2014, background): “As mentioned above, according to Gollan et al. (2008) the exception to this generalization––naming speed and accuracy for low-frequency items in 15 the nondominant language, which are equally poor for younger and older bilinguals––might possibly be attributable to cumulative use, which would bring…”
- Where does the delay in L2 picture naming come from? Psycholinguistic and neurocognitive evidence on second language word production (2011, background): “Gollan et al. (2008) asked their English-dominant Spanish/English bilingual participants to rate the AoA of picture names in both languages.”
