“…All of the non-young-adult groups that have been studied to date exhibit some form of immediate competition. This includes toddlers (Fernald, Swingley, & Pinto, 2001; Swingley, Pinto, & Fernald, 1999), adolescents (Rigler et al, 2015) children with SLI (Dollaghan, 1998; McMurray, Samelson, Lee, & Tomblin, 2010), people undergoing cognitive aging (Revill & Spieler, 2012), and postlingually deafened adults who use cochlear implants (CIs) (Farris-Trimble, McMurray, Cigrand, & Tomblin, 2014). While the dynamics of lexical access in these groups differs quantitatively (and in interesting ways) from typical adults, all of these groups also exhibit behavior broadly consistent with immediate competition.…”
