Assessing the role of current and cumulative exposure in simultaneous bilingual acquisition: The case of Dutch gender* (2012, methodology): “It is argued that the results are more consistent with a rule-based than a piecemeal approach to acquisition (Blom, Polišenskà & Weerman, 2008a; Gathercole & Thomas, 2005, 2009), and that non-target performance on the production task can be explained by the Missing Surface Inflection Hypothesis…”
Contrasting Effects of Starting Age and Input on the Oral Performance of Foreign Language Learners (2014, background): “…in the explanation of the asymmetries found in the rate of development of the dominant and the non-dominant language of bilinguals (Gathercole 2007; Gathercole and Thomas 2009; Paradis 2010; Hoff et al. 2012), although not all aspects of bilingual children’s development seem to be similarly…”
The relationship between bilingual exposure and vocabulary development (2011, background): “Further, children are found to be much more likely to gain full mastery of the community language than of their minority home language (Gathercole & Thomas, 2009).”
Dual language exposure and early bilingual development* (2011, background): “…is evidence that the degree of difference between monolinguals and bilinguals on these grammatical measures is related to the amount of English exposure the children have (Gathercole, 2002a; 2002b; 2002c; Gathercole & Thomas, 2009; Pearson, Fernández, Lewedeg & Oller, 1997; Oller & Eilers, 2002).”
Interpreting the Early Language Trajectories of Children from Low SES and Language Minority Homes: Implications for Closing Achievement Gaps (2012, positive): “Studies in Wales have found that children who hear only Welsh at home catch up to monolingual Englishspeaking children in their English language skills by the age of 9 years (Gathercole & Thomas, 2009).”
A working memory, not bilingual advantage, in controlled attention (2010, background): “Gathercole and Thomas ( 2009 ) have also shown that prior to the age of four, Welsh–English bilingual children lag behind in both vocabulary and grammar as compared to their monolingual peers.”
Bilingual Language Acquisition (2011, background): “There is a huge amount of research into the consequences for language development and literacy of these different language backgrounds [e.g. Gathercole & Thomas, 2009; Tabors & Snow, 2001].”
The role of age of onset and input in early child bilingualism in Greek and Dutch (2011, background): “In this sense, then, it may be the case that it is amount of input over time which has a greater effect on the acquisition of gender in Dutch than the acquisition of gender in Greek (Gathercole & Thomas, 2009; Unsworth, under review).”
Parental language mixing: Its measurement and the relation of mixed input to young bilingual children's vocabulary size* (2012, background): “There is evidence that patterns of language use by parents raising bilingual children can account for preschool and school-aged children’s active use of and proficiency in a minority language (De Houwer, 2007; Gathercole & Thomas, 2009).”
Exposure and input in bilingual development (2017, methodology): “…relative to monolinguals on measures of grammatical knowledge, and these too correlate to measures of exposure (Gathercole, 2002a, 2002b, 2002c; Gathercole & Thomas, 2009; La Morgia, 2011; Paradis, 2010; Paradis & Navarro, 2003; Thomas & Gathercole, 2007; Thomas, Williams, Jones, Davies &…”
