Journal Article
Kirjavainen, M., Kite, Y., & Piasecki, A. E. (2020). The effect of language-specific characteristics on English and Japanese speakers' ability to recall number information. Cognitive Science, 44(12), Article e12923. https://doi.org/10.1111/cogs.12923

The current paper presents two experiments investigating the effect of presence versus absence of compulsory number marking in a native language on a speaker’s ability to recall number information from photos. In Experiment 1, monolingual English and... Read More about The effect of language-specific characteristics on English and Japanese speakers' ability to recall number information.

Re-examining the effects of word writing on vocabulary learning (2018)
Journal Article
Webb, S., & Piasecki, A. (2018). Re-examining the effects of word writing on vocabulary learning. ITL, 169(1), 72-94. https://doi.org/10.1075/itl.00007.web

This study investigated the effects of word writing on vocabulary learning by comparing three conditions in which there was (a) limited time to write words, (b) unlimited time to write words, and (c) a non-writing word-picture pairs comparison. Non-n... Read More about Re-examining the effects of word writing on vocabulary learning.

Are you reading what I am reading? The impact of contrasting alphabetic scripts on reading English (2015)
Journal Article
Iakovleva, T., Piasecki, A. E., & Dijkstra, T. (2015). Are you reading what I am reading? The impact of contrasting alphabetic scripts on reading English. CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 1347, 112-116

This study examines the impact of the crosslinguistic similarity of translation equivalents on word recognition by Russian-English bilinguals, who are fluent in languages with two different but partially overlapping writing systems. Current models fo... Read More about Are you reading what I am reading? The impact of contrasting alphabetic scripts on reading English.

The effect of a bilingual learning mode on the establishment of lexical semantic representations in the L2 (2014)
Journal Article
Elgort, I., & Piasecki, A. E. (2014). The effect of a bilingual learning mode on the establishment of lexical semantic representations in the L2. Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 17(3), 572-588. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1366728913000588

Deliberate vocabulary learning is common in the L2, however, questions remain about most efficient and effective forms of this learning approach. Bilingual models of L2 word learning and processing can be used to make predictions about outcomes of le...

Thesis
Piasecki, A. E. (2012). The effects of proficiency on sub-lexical processing in bilingual visual word recognition. (Thesis). Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/955181

Systematic psycholinguistic research has considered the nature of the coexistence of two (or more) languages in the cognitive system of a fluent bilingual speaker. There is increasing consensus that when a bilingual is presented with a visual stimulu... Read More about The effects of proficiency on sub-lexical processing in bilingual visual word recognition.
