How cross-language similarity and task demands affect cognate recognition
TLDR
This paper examined how the cross-linguistic similarity of translation equivalents affects bilingual word recognition and found that cognates with varying degrees of form overlap between their English and Dutch counterparts showed a large discontinuous processing advantage and were subject to facilitation from phonological similarity.About:

Analyzing linguistic data: a practical introduction to statistics using R
TL;DR: The author guides the reader in about 350 pages from descriptive and basic statistical methods over classification and clustering to (generalised) linear and mixed models to enable researchers and students alike to reproduce the analyses and learn by doing.

Introducing LexTALE: A quick and valid Lexical Test for Advanced Learners of English
Kristin Lemhöfer,Mirjam Broersma +1 more
TL;DR: A large-scale study with Dutch and Korean speakers of L2 English tested whether LexTALE, a 5-min vocabulary test, is a valid predictor of English vocabulary knowledge and, possibly, even of general English proficiency and showed that it was generally superior to self-ratings in its predictions.

Bilingual visual word recognition and lexical access
TL;DR: This paper showed that during reading under many circumstances, possible words from different languages temporarily become active in a bilingual reading session, such as when a word from a source language is used as a target for a target language.

Moving toward a neuroplasticity view of bilingualism, executive control, and aging
Shari R. Baum,Debra Titone +1 more
TL;DR: This article focused on the human capacity for language, for which healthy older adults are simultaneously advantaged and disadvantaged, and pointed out the theoretical assumptions and empirical support of the bilingual advantages perspective, review what we know about language, cognitive control, and aging generally, and highlight several of the relatively few studies that have investigated bilingual language processing in older adults, either on their own or in comparison with monolingual older adults.

Multilink: A computational model for bilingual word recognition and word translation
A.F.J. Dijkstra,A.R. Wahl,F. Buytenhuijs,N. van Halem,Z.S.H. Al-jibouri,M. de Korte,S.T. Rekke +6 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed a localist-connectionist model, called Multilink, which integrates basic assumptions of both BIA+ and RHM, to simulate the recognition and production of cognates and non-cognates of different lengths and frequencies.

A new look at the statistical model identification
TL;DR: In this article, a new estimate minimum information theoretical criterion estimate (MAICE) is introduced for the purpose of statistical identification, which is free from the ambiguities inherent in the application of conventional hypothesis testing procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed-effects modeling with crossed random effects for subjects and items
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an introduction to mixed-effects models for the analysis of repeated measurement data with subjects and items as crossed random effects, and a worked-out example of how to use recent software for mixed effects modeling is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Practice of Dichotomization of Quantitative Variables
TL;DR: The authors present the case that dichotomization is rarely defensible and often will yield misleading results.

Mental Control of the Bilingual Lexico-Semantic System.
TL;DR: The IC model is used to expand the explanation of the effect of category blocking in translation proposed by Kroll and Stewart (1994), and predictions of the model are tested against other data.
