Within-language and cross-languages prediction: Evidence from semantic classifier congruency
Objectives: Previous studies showed prediction effects in language processing within a language. Yet only a few studies have specifically investigated prediction effects across languages. In this study, we examined if prediction influences subsequent within- and cross-language production. Methodology: After hearing a classifier (e.g., “a cup of”), participants were asked to name a picture with a color frame indicating which language to use. The p…
Persistence of situational language balance in bilingual switching: Evidence from carryover of proactive language control
Proactive language control is thought to regulate the interference from the nontarget language in bilingual contexts in a sustained way. This study examined the persistence of proactive control in cued picture naming. Participants first named pictures in L1 (German) and L2 (English) in pure blocks, then in mixed language blocks and finally again in pure blocks. In mixed blocks, there were language switch costs, and L1 responses were generally slo…
The influence of prediction on bilingual language production: Evidence from semantic classifier congruency
This study aims to investigate if predictions can influence subsequent language production in monolingual and bilingual situations. The possibility to correctly predict an upcoming response was operationalized by means of semantic classifier congruency. Participants were instructed to name a picture (e.g., firemen) after seeing or hearing a semantically congruent vs. incongruent classifier (e.g., a crew of). In Experiment 1 with English monolingu…
The effect of preparation on binding between spatial and non-spatial features of voices in a multitalker setting
Dynamic switching of attention between voices in multitalker situations is often investigated in paradigms that combine selective listening with ‘attention switching’. Participants are presented concurrently with two talkers, a female and a male, and asked to respond to the number spoken by the talker specified on each trial by a cue. A change in the target voice (when compared to listening to the same voice) results in a robust performance ‘swit…
Different trajectories for becoming bilingual lead to comparable outcomes in cognitive flexibility
Aims and Objective: Bilingualism has been proposed to affect cognitive flexibility, but findings in the literature are mixed. One reason for this might be the different trajectories of how participants acquired the second language, either through immersion or formal education. The present study investigates differences and commonalities of becoming bilingual depending on trajectory. Methodology: To assess cognitive flexibility, participants compl…
What makes a cognate? Implications for research on bilingualism
Cognates are studied in many psychological studies of bilingual language processing. Despite their frequent use, there is no clear operationalized definition of what constitutes a cognate. We conducted a literature search in three major journals to better understand how cognate status is typically defined and operationalized. In these journals, we analyzed similarity of cognate and non-cognate stimuli. We found that approximately 60% of the revie…
Evidence of task-triggered retrieval of the previous response: A binding perspective on response-repetition benefits in task switching
In task switching, response repetitions (RRs) usually yield performance benefits as compared to response switches, but only when the task also repeats. When the task switches, RR benefits vanish or even turn into costs, yielding an interaction between repeating versus switching the task and the response (the RR effect ). Different theoretical accounts for this RR effect exist, but, in the present study, we specifically tested a prediction derived…
Repetition costs in task switching are not equal to cue switching costs: Evidence from a cue-independent context
Recent task-switching studies highlighted the presence of feature binding processes. These studies documented that even a task-irrelevant feature (the context, henceforth) may be bound with the task and the response in each trial. When the context repeated in the following trial, it supposedly retrieved the bound features, causing benefits when the task and the response repeated and costs otherwise (i.e. full repetition benefits). In the present …
Reversed asymmetrical switch costs in voluntary language switching: Evidence from typed responses
Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: Prior research has put forward that asymmetrical switch costs in language switching do not occur when bilinguals are in a voluntary language-switching context. While several studies have provided evidence along these lines, two very recent studies have put this into question. This study further investigates the possibility that voluntary language switching abolishes asymmetrical switch costs. Design…
On the reliability of behavioral measures of cognitive control: Retest reliability of task-inhibition effect, task-preparation effect, Stroop-like interference, and conflict adaptation effect
This study examined the reliability (retest and split-half) of four common behavioral measures of cognitive control. In Experiment 1 ( N = 96), we examined N – 2 task repetition costs as a marker of task-level inhibition, and the cue-stimulus interval (CSI) effect as a marker of time-based task preparation. In Experiment 2 ( N = 48), we examined a Stroop-like face-name interference effect as a measure of distractor interference control, and the s…
Conflict adaptation during multilingual language production as evidenced by the n-3 effect
Several multilingual language production models assume that language control is instigated by conflict monitoring. In turn, conflict adaptation, a control process which makes it easier to resolve interference if previously a high-interference context was detected, should also occur during multilingual production, as it is triggered by conflict monitoring. Because no evidence has been provided for conflict adaptation in the multilingual production…
Exploring the role of verbal-semantic overlap in response-effect compatibility
According to ideomotor accounts, actions are cognitively represented by their sensory effects. The response-effect compatibility (R-E compatibility) paradigm investigates this notion by presenting predictable effect stimuli that are produced by the response ("response effects"). The R-E compatibility effect denotes the finding of better performance in R-E compatible conditions than in incompatible conditions, suggesting that anticipation of the e…
The reliability of language-switch costs in bilingual one- and two-digit number naming
Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: Language-switch costs, which denote worse performance in language-switch than in language-repetition trials, appear to be a robust finding in bilingual language switching. The aim of the present study was to examine the intraindividual reliability of language-switch costs by means of a number-naming task with German-English bilinguals. Design/methodology/approach: In a cued language-switching paradi…
Binding and Retrieval in Action Control (BRAC)
Human action control relies on representations that integrate perception and action, but the relevant research is scattered over various experimental paradigms and the theorizing is overly paradigm-specific. To overcome this obstacle we propose BRAC (binding and retrieval in action control), an overarching, integrative framework that accounts for a wide range of seemingly unrelated findings by assuming 'two core processes: feature binding and ret…
Bimodal language switching: New insights from signing and typing
A review of control processes and their locus in language switching
Control and interference in task switching—A review
The task-switching paradigm offers enormous possibilities to study cognitive control as well as task interference. The current review provides an overview of recent research on both topics. First, we review different experimental approaches to task switching, such as comparing mixed-task blocks with single-task blocks, predictable task-switching and task-cuing paradigms, intermittent instructions, and voluntary task selection. In the 2nd part, we…
Inhibitory processes in language switching: Evidence from switching language-defined response sets
We used language-defined response sets (digit names from 1 to 9 in different languages) to explore inhibitory processes in language switching. Subjects were required to switch between two (Experiment 1) or among three (Experiment 2) languages. In Experiment 1, we obtained a shift cost when subjects switched between their first and second language, between their first and third language, or between their second and third language. For each languag…
