Will learners who receive training on one type of processing strategy for one specific form appropriately transfer the use of that strategy to other forms without further instruction in PI? Benati and Lee take research on Processing Instruction to new heights by examining secondary and cumulative effects of PI and structured input activities. The book provides a thorough review of input processing theory and empirical research on PI before launching into new and unique research that examines transfer-of-training effects. Benati and Lee present innovative directions for research on input processing making this volume a most valuable contribution to SLA scholars and graduate students. -- Wynne Wong, Associate Professor of French and SLA, The Ohio State University, USA The results presented in this book not only move forward the research agenda of PI, but they provide fascinating data that are sure to cause significant discussion in the field. This book will be of interest to a wide variety of readers and will challenge the field of instructed SLA in important ways. -- Bill VanPatten, Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Literatures, Texas Tech University, USA Graduate students will find this volume a gold mine of ideas for research topics because Benati and Lee not only encourage follow-up studies but also provide an array of new areas of investigation. -- Claire Renaud, Indiana University Studies in Second Language Acquisition, Volume 32, 2010
