  1. Abstract Most research showing that cognates are named faster than non-cognates has focused on isolated word production which might not realistically reflect cognitive demands in sentence production. Here, we explored whether cognates elicit interference by examining error rates during sentence production, and how this interference is resolved by language control mechanisms. Twenty highly proficient Spanish–English bilinguals described visual scenes with sentence structures ‘NP1-verb-NP2’ (NP = noun-phrase). Half the nouns and half the verbs were cognates and two manipulations created high control demands. Both situations that demanded higher inhibitory control pushed the cognate effect from facilitation towards interference. These findings suggest that cognates, similar to phonologically similar words within a language, can induce not only facilitation but robust interference.

  2. Equation error and output error are common formulations used in speed and parameter estimation for induction machines. This paper presents a study of the quality of the estimated speed and parameters using local sensitivity analysis. We studied parameter conditioning as a function of input signals and estimation methodology at nominal speed. Simulation results are used to show that output error formulation is better conditioned than equation error for speed and parameter estimation using PWM and six-step voltage inputs.
