They Are Not Using it?”, Costa, Pannunzi, Deco, and Pickering (Cognitive Science, 2017) …

The masked translation priming asymmetry has proven to be an important point of departure
in the development of a theory of bilingual lexical representation and processing. The nature …

Research on the processing of translations offers important insights on how bilinguals
negotiate the representation of words from two languages in one mind and one brain …

A longstanding debate centers around how beginning adult bilinguals process words in their
second language (L2). Do they access the meaning of the L2 words directly or do they first …

Babcok et al.(2012) claim that Paradis (1994, 2004, 2009) argues that the reliance of late L2
learners on L1 neurocognitive mechanisms increases over time across both lexical and …

A growing consensus sees the bilingual lexicon as an integrated, nonselective system.
However, the way bilingual experience shapes the architecture and functioning of the …

It is well established that access to the bilingual lexicon is non-selective: even in an entirely
monolingual context, elements of the non-target language are active. Research has also …

Non-cognate masked translation priming lexical decision studies with unbalanced bilinguals
suggest that masked translation priming effects are asymmetric as a function of the …

During the last two decades, bilingual research has adopted the masked translation priming
paradigm as a tool to investigate the architecture of the bilingual language system. Although …

This study investigates the role of age of acquisition (AoA) on the bilingual mental lexicon.
Four groups of participants were tested:(i) English native speakers with minimal exposure to …
