Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Bilinguals fixated targets more than monolinguals between 1099 and 2734 ms post-stimulus onset. → Blumenfeld Henrike K.; Marian Viorica 2011

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Eye-tracking timecourse analysis in the 60-participant picture-word identification study. "bilinguals maintained the target active longer than monolinguals, t(58) = 1.7, p < .05 (1-tailed)", with bilinguals at 16.7% target fixations versus monolinguals at 14.0% in the late window.
"bilinguals maintained the target active longer than monolinguals, t(58) = 1.7, p < .05 (1-tailed), as illustrated by more fixations to the target in bilinguals (16.7%, SE = 1.2) than in monolinguals (14.0%, SE = 1.0) between 1099 ms and 2734 ms post-stimulus onset"

Related Claims¶
- Monolinguals and bilinguals show similar within-language competitor activation during auditory word recognition — related
- Competitor activation relates to negative priming at different time windows in monolinguals and bilinguals — related
- Conscious awareness of action onset lags brain activity initiation by hundreds of milliseconds — related
- Monolinguals but not bilinguals show residual inhibition of phonological competitors on negative-priming probes — related
