Declerck, Mathieu; Thoma, Aniella M.; Koch, Iring; Philipp, Andrea M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Several, but not all, models of language control assume that highly proficient bilinguals implement little to no inhibition during bilingual language production. In the current study, we tested this assumption with a less equivocal marker of inhibition (i.e., n-2 language repetition costs) than previous language switching studies have. N-2…

Costa, Albert; Santesteban, Mikel; Ivanova, Iva – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
The authors report 4 experiments exploring the language-switching performance of highly proficient bilinguals in a picture-naming task. In Experiment 1, they tested the impact of language similarity and age of 2nd language acquisition on the language-switching performance of highly proficient bilinguals. Experiments 2, 3, and 4 assessed the…
