Bilingual Minds (2009, background): “Similar considerations apply to another way to reduce bilingual disadvantages in a testing or assessment situation: to allow bilinguals to use either language to name pictures (Kohnert, Hernandez, & Bates, 1998; Gollan & Silverberg, 2001).”
What causes the bilingual disadvantage in verbal fluency?: The dual-task analogy (2010, background): “…reported recognizing fewer target words than monolinguals, that is, they have reduced knowledge of low-frequency vocabulary words in their dominant language relative to monolinguals (Gollan and Silverberg, 2001; Gollan and Acenas, 2004; Gollan, Bonanni and Montoya, 2005; Gollan and Brown, 2006).”
The representation and processing of identical cognates by late bilinguals: RT and ERP effects (2013, background): “…bilinguals are visually presented with the identical cognate TABLE they will process this cognate faster than a matched control word that is exclusively French or English, because the word TABLE has been encountered and used not in one but in two languages (Gollan & Silverberg, 2001).”
Language selectivity is the exception, not the rule: Arguments against a fixed locus of language selection in bilingual speech (2006, background): “In a series of studies, Gollan and colleagues (e.g. Gollan and Silverberg, 2001; Gollan and Acenas, 2004) have shown that bilinguals have more tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) experiences than monolinguals and are slower to name pictures in their L1 than monolinguals.”
More use almost always a means a smaller frequency effect: Aging, bilingualism, and the weaker links hypothesis. (2008, background): “…tasks Gollan and colleagues proposed the “weaker links” hypothesis which assumes a very indirect effect of bilingualism on lexical retrieval (Gollan & Silverberg, 2001; Gollan et al., 2002; Gollan & Acenas, 2004; Gollan, Bonanni, et al., 2005; Gollan, Montoya, FennemaNotestine, & Morris,…”
Bilingualism is not a categorical variable: Interaction between language proficiency and usage (2013, background): “…are commonly used in bilingual research, and participants are frequently asked to indicate self-rated judgements of both their frequency of usage for each language and levels of proficiency (e.g., Elston-Güttler, Paulmann, & Kotz, 2005; Gollan & Acenas, 2004; Gollan & Silverberg, 2001).”
Moving toward a neuroplasticity view of bilingualism, executive control, and aging (2014, background): “According to Gollan and colleagues (2002; Gollan & Silverberg, 2001), these disadvantages are presumably linked to lower frequencies of use of any given word due to the use of a larger number of different words by bilinguals across two languages: the so-called weaker links, or frequency-lag,…”
The development of two types of inhibitory control in monolingual and bilingual children* (2008, background): “More importantly, however, bilinguals have been shown to be slower than monolinguals in rapid picture naming, and also experience more frequent tip-of-the-tongue states than monolinguals (Gollan and Kroll, 2001; Gollan and Silverberg, 2001).”
Another Look at Cross-Language Competition in Bilingual Speech Production: Lexical and Phonological Factors. (2003, background): “TOT states refer to the situation in which the speaker cannot retrieve the word s/he wants to produce, despite having an intense feeling of knowing the word and, in some cases, having partial information about it. In this study, Spanish-English and Tagalog-English bilinguals were shown to be more pr”
Cognitive control and lexical access in younger and older bilinguals. (2008, background): “Green (1998) and Bialystok (2001), and if the bilingual disadvantage in lexical access reflects the same need to resolve conflict between competing lexical items, it might be expected that the control and access measures would correlate negatively within the bilingual groups.”
Language attrition and theories of forgetting: A cross-disciplinary review (2004, background): “TOT states are common experiences in the L1 (e.g., Brown, 1991; Brown & McNeill, 1966; Schwartz, 2002) as well as in the L2 (e.g., Ecke, in press; Ecke & Garrett, 1998; Gollan & Silverberg, 2001).”
