Il a publié de nombreux ouvrages portant notamment sur l’impact de la motivation, des différences individuelles et des croyances des apprenants concernant le processus d’acquisition des langues étrangères (second language acquisition). 2The Psychology of Second Language Acquisition correspond à une synthèse des apports théoriques et méthodologiques les plus récents en « psycho-ALE » (acquisition des langues étrangères), un champ de recherche hybride dont la finalité est de dégager des connaissances sur les mécanismes psychologiques impliqués dans le processus d’appropriation des langues, qu’elles soient maternelles ou secondes (désormais L2).

Cognitive Science : How a cockpit remembers its speeds*1. Cognitive science normally takes the individual agent as its unit of analysis. In many human endeavors, however, the outcomes of interest are not determined entirely by the information processing properties of individuals. Nor can they be inferred from the properties of the individual agents, alone, no matter how detailed the knowledge of the properties of those individuals may be. In commercial aviation, for example, the successful completion of a flight is produced by a system that typically includes two or more pilots interacting with each other and with a suite of technological devices.
This article presents a theoretical framework that takes a distributed, socio-technical system rather than an individual mind as its primary unit of analysis. This framework is explicitly cognitive in that it is concerned with how information is represented and how representations are transformed and propagated in the performance of tasks.
