Subclaims¶

q3 i? Monolinguals identified competitor probes slower than control probes; bilinguals did not differ between the two conditions. → Blumenfeld Henrike K.; Marian Viorica 2011 q3 i? The trial type by group interaction on priming response latencies was significant. → Blumenfeld Henrike K.; Marian Viorica 2011

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Negative-priming experiment with 30 monolinguals and 30 bilinguals; probes appeared in locations previously occupied by competitor or control pictures. "monolinguals identified priming probes in positions previously occupied by competitor pictures (M = 505.5, SE = 14.3) slower than priming probes in positions previously occupied by control pictures (M = 485.5, SE = 12.9)"; bilinguals did not differ, p > .5. Trial type by group interaction F(1, 58) = 10.7, p < .01.

"Follow-up t-tests revealed that monolinguals identified priming probes in positions previously occupied by competitor pictures (M = 505.5, SE = 14.3) slower than priming probes in positions previously occupied by control pictures (M = 485.5, SE = 12.9), t(29) = 4.3, p < .001"
