This is a replication research project being conducted by the Second Language Acquisition Reading Group at Penn State. We have conducted a close replication and extension of Ellis & Sagarra’s (2010)[1] study on learned attention and blocking effects in the learning temporal reference in Latin (manuscript in preparation). We are also replicating our own study in a web-based format in order to investigate the comparability of face-to-face and remote data collection.
