“This conceptual framework of FL aptitude, as Skehan (2002) cogently puts it, has proved to be more enduring than even the MLAT test battery itself and to date it is still the most influential portrayal of FL aptitude available (Skehan 2012).”

In the citing paper
“While surprising at first glance, this finding chimes with earlier theoretical arguments that (explicit) aptitude may be relevant in both explicit and implicit learning conditions (Robinson, 2005;Skehan, 2002), and that (explicit) aptitude may in fact be more important in naturalistic (i.e., implicit, or at least incidental) learning conditions where no scaffolding is available (Abrahamsson & Hylt”

“Second, attempts have been made to map aptitude components onto information-processing stages that characterise the L2 learning process (Skehan, 2002”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
