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 i3 More proficient bilinguals showed less residual competitor inhibition (r = .4, p < .05). → Blumenfeld Henrike K.; Marian Viorica 2011

Correlation analysis relating Spanish receptive vocabulary (TVIP) to negative-priming inhibition in the same study. "The more proficient bilinguals were in their non-dominant language, Spanish (as measured by the Test the Vocabulario en Imagenes Peabody, TVIP), the less residual competitor inhibition they showed (r = .4, p < .05)".

- Stroop inhibition correlates with linguistic competition resolution in bilinguals but not monolinguals — related
- Competitor activation relates to negative priming at different time windows in monolinguals and bilinguals — related
- Language proficiency moderates switch cost asymmetry, but highly proficient bilinguals still show n-2 language repetition costs consistent with inhibition
- Bilinguals show a marginally smaller Stroop effect and higher overall Stroop accuracy than monolinguals — related
