Ah yes, quizzes and drills. It's almost like they operate with no knowledge of how languages are learned and best taught...

UG, as originally theorized, does not exist. At some point, it will have been altered so much that it looks just like the Cognitive Science explanations for language, and the Chomskians will say, "See, we WERE right all along!"

I really like Cognitive Psychology and its Implications by John Anderson

It's not the borrowing of the word from another language that blocks the ge- prefix in dekorieren, but rather that no verbs in German that end in -ieren get the ge- (kontollieren - kontrolliert). Many borrowed verbs do get that morphology (gegooglt, geliked, etc...)

I'd love to be added. I'll be helping to facilitate the ACTFL DEI listening session on Saturday and then presenting some work on innovative pedagogy in study abroad.
