The Gender Congruity Effect: Evidence from Spanish and Catalan.

Costa, Alberto; Senastian-Galles, Nuria; Miozzo, Michele; Caramazza, Alfonso

Language and Cognitive Processes, v14 n4 p381-912 Aug 1999

In five picture-word interference experiments, this article explores the gender-congruity effect in Dutch in two languages, Spanish and Catalan. Performance was not affected by the relationship between the gender of the picture and the gender of the word. Results show that the gender-congruity effect is not a universal effect, but varies from language to language. (Author/VWL)
