Inquiry: Differences between heritage & non-heritage learners

[sm167]

Hello,

I'm interested in looking into cognitive/ lingusitic differences of
heritage learners in comparison to non-heritage learners and other learners.

I was wondering if there are any (empirical) studies done in the literature
on linguistic characteristics, cognitive styles (psycholinguistic), and/or
aptitude of heritage learners?

I would appreciate any suggestions for direction.

Thank you.
