3. 2. Exploring the effect of stimulus list composition on the Cognate Facilitation Effect in bilingual lexical decision : A study of Danish-Swedish bilinguals

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för svenska och flerspråkighet

   Author : Revekka Christina Anagnostopoulou; [2022]
   Keywords : Cognate facilitation effect; cognates; interlingual homographs; stimulus list composition; BIA ; Age of Acquisition; lexical decision; bilingualism;

   Author : Samuel Karl Ramos; [2021]

While the influence of cognitive load is well documented in research of activities such as attention allocation, decision making and reading comprehension, it is not known whether such effects can also be applied to more complex activities, such as whether a scientific paper will be influential (or not).
