The Unbearable Lightness of “Diversity” in Understanding Cognition: A Role for Bilingualism
Cognitive Science and its allied disciplines have now accepted diversity as a core requirement for understanding human nature in its true essence. We propose here two types of diversity mindsets that reflect distinct individual‐difference attributes or personality types specifically linked to bilingualism and its adaptability. We conceptualize diversity as one's past and current “immersive” strategies in any society, both as an individual and a m…
Awareness of interlocutors’ L2 proficiency modulates cross-linguistic activation in high-L2 proficient bilinguals
Aims: The present study investigated if interlocutor context influences translation and cross-linguistic activation in high-L2 proficient bilinguals. Methodology: Participants performed a translation recognition task in the presence of interlocutors and were judged as either high or low proficient in L2 (English). Before the main experiment, they were first familiarized with the interlocutors, after which they rated them as either high or low pro…
Interlocutors modulate language plan and production in high and low literate bilinguals: Evidence from eye movements
In a socio-interactive context, bilinguals effortlessly plan their language appropriately. This study explores how high-literate and low-literate bilinguals plan their language when interacting with interlocutors with varied second language (L2) proficiency presented in an interactive context. Participants named objects in the presence of interlocutors with varying proficiency, which were presented in the background as visual-world stimuli. Resul…
Bilingual speakers show sensitivity to interlocutors’ L2 language proficiency during language production
Aims: The present study aimed to investigate if the mere presence of already-introduced task-irrelevant interlocutors would influence object naming in high-L2-proficient bilinguals. Methodology: Participants performed cued object naming in the presence of interlocutors who judged them as either high or low proficient in L2 (English). Before the main experiment, participants were familiarized with the interlocutors, after which they rated them as …
Looking Without Knowing: Evidence for Language-Mediated Eye Movements to Masked Words in Hindi-English Bilinguals
Cross-linguistic activation has been frequently demonstrated in bilinguals through eye movements using the visual world paradigm. In this study, we explored if such activations could operate below thresholds of awareness, at least in the visual modality. Participants listened to a spoken word in Hindi or English and viewed a display containing masked printed words. One of the printed words was a phonological cohort of the translation equivalent o…
Language contexts induced by the interlocutors’ proficiencies modulate bilingual language monitoring
Using a voluntary object-naming paradigm, we examined if bilinguals with high or low L2 proficiency monitor their language selection and production according to their interlocutors' L2 language proficiency. Telugu (L1)–English (L2) bilinguals were introduced to audio-visual stimuli that consisted of animated interlocutors that were high or low proficient in English. In Experiment 1, interlocutors were presented at different frequencies in each bl…
Author Correction: Spatial communication systems across languages reflect universal action constraints
Spatial communication systems across languages reflect universal action constraints
The extent to which languages share properties reflecting the non-linguistic constraints of the speakers who speak them is key to the debate regarding the relationship between language and cognition. A critical case is spatial communication, where it has been argued that semantic universals should exist, if anywhere. Here, using an experimental paradigm able to separate variation within a language from variation between languages, we tested the u…
