TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale, multisite study aimed at assessing the overall replicability of a single theoretically important phenomenon and examining methodological, cultural, and developmental moderators was conducted.

TL;DR: The first-ever evidence of cross-talk between the two languages of bilinguals even as they begin to acquire fluency in their second language is presented, providing evidence for language nonselective lexical access.

TL;DR: This paper explored the origins of this bias over the course of development and in infants learning different languages and found that it arises from the early stages of phonological and (pre-)lexical acquisition.

TL;DR: Bilingual toddlers who had a later age of L2 acquisition had better recognition of words in English than those toddlers who acquired English at an earlier age, suggesting an important role for L1 phonological experience on L2 word recognition in early bilingual word recognition.

TL;DR: The results with French-learning eight-month-old infants support previous studies that found that the word familiarity effect in segmentation is developing from a positive to a negative polarity at this age and establish a relationship between early segmentation skills and phonological processing (not modulated by the type of mispronunciation) and later lexical skills.
