A Comparative Study of Lexical Inferencing During Text Reading
Lexical inferencing (LIF) draws on multiple knowledge sources (KSs), but little is known about how the same multilingual readers report using these sources across different reading tasks. This exploratory study examined 31 Chinese–English–Japanese trilinguals who completed think-aloud inferencing tasks in three language-and-material conditions. Nine KS Types were coded, and trial-level ordinal mixed-effects models related KS use to rater-coded LI…
Examining causal inference revision processing in Chinese discourse comprehension
During reading, readers frequently generate causal inferences to fully comprehend a text. However, the causal inferences they initially make about the cause of an event may later turn out to be incorrect. The cognitive processes underlying the revision of causal inferences during Chinese text comprehension remain to be examined. To address this, the present study combined an eye-tracking technique with the Word-printed Visual World Paradigm (VWP)…

Exploring the role of executive functions in Chinese-English bilinguals’ emotional word comprehension during language switching
Switching between languages requires the participation of executive functions (EFs) which comprise both the ‘hot’ affective aspects (hot EFs) and the ‘cool’ cognitive aspects (cool EFs). However, the role of these EFs in language switching is not clear. This study employed a word valence categorization task to explore the effects of hot (i.e. emotional valence and emotional congruency) and cool (i.e. inhibitory control ability, IC ability) EFs on…
