Annotation

In a prior study, Vander Beken and Brysbaert (2017) found an L2 recall cost but even recognition feat in L2 versus L1 when students studied curt descriptive texts. This article explores whether there is a recognition cost after a longer lag, which would state that the memory trace is frailer in L2.
