The “weaker links” hypothesis proposes that bilinguals are disadvantaged relative to
monolinguals on speaking tasks because they divide frequency-of-use between two …

Bilinguals named pictures in their dominant language more slowly (and with more errors)
than did monolinguals. In contrast, bilinguals named the same pictures as quickly as did …

Although bilinguals rarely make random errors of language when they speak, research on
spoken production provides compelling evidence to suggest that both languages are active …

Behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) measures are reported for a study in which
relatively proficient Chinese–English bilinguals named identical pictures in each of their two …

An important psycholinguistic discussion centers on the question of whether bilinguals use
the same representations and mechanisms for the languages they speak (the interactive …

Using a lexical-decision task performed by Dutch–English bilinguals, the author showed that
the recognition of visually presented first language (L1; eg, touw) and second language (L2; …

The present chapter reports the results of experiments examining the consequences of
lifelong bilingualism on cognitive and linguistic performance. Typically, research has shown …

Picture naming has been used by vision researchers to study object identification, by
language researchers to study word production, and by memory researchers to study implicit …

It is commonly assumed that bilinguals enable production in their nondominant language by
inhibiting their dominant language temporarily, fully lifting inhibition to switch back. In a re …

When producing connected speech, bilinguals often select a default-language as the
primary force driving the utterance. The present study investigated the cognitive …
