Background: Despite substantial literature exploring language treatment effects in multilingual people with aphasia (PWA), inconsistent results reported across studies make it difficult to draw firm conclusions.
Methods: We highlight and illustrate variables that have been implicated in affecting cross-language treatment effects in multilingual PWA.
Main Contribution: We argue that opposing effects of activation and inhibition across languages, influenced by pertinent variables, such as age of language acquisition, patterns of language use, and treatment-related factors, contribute to the complex picture that has emerged from current studies of treatment in multilingual PWA. We propose a new integrated model-Treatment Effects in Aphasia in Multilingual people (the TEAM model)-to capture this complexity.

In perceptual studies, musicality and pitch aptitude have been implicated in tone learning, while vocabulary size has been implicated in distributional (segment) learning. Moreover, working memory plays a role in the overnight consolidation of explicit-declarative L2 learning. This study examines how these factors uniquely account for individual differences in the distributional learning and consolidation of an L2 tone contrast, where learners are tonal language speakers, and the training is implicit.

Purpose: Although germline genetic testing (GT) is recommended for all patients with ovarian cancer (OC) and some patients with endometrial cancer (EC), uptake remains low with multiple barriers. Our center performs GT in parallel with somatic testing via a targeted sequencing assay (MSK-IMPACT) and initiates testing in oncology clinics (mainstreaming). We sought to optimize our GT processes for OC/EC.
