Marion Coumel; Merel Muylle; Katherine Messenger; Robert J. Hartsuiker – Language Learning, 2024
We tested whether second language (L2) learners rely more on explicit memory during structural priming at lower than at higher proficiency levels (Hartsuiker & Bernolet, 2017).

Nina Woll; Pierre-Luc Paquet – Language Teaching Research, 2025
If maximal exposure were the key to success in language learning, then adult learners at the university level would be doomed to fail.

Nevertheless,…
