Bilinguals have better recall for code-switched information
Bilinguals frequently code-switch during conversations—a behavior often viewed as creating processing challenges for listeners. However, code-switching may also enhance comprehension and memory by directing attention to key information. This study tested whether bilinguals recall information better in code-switched contexts compared with single-language contexts and explored whether code-switching experience amplifies this benefit. In a preregist…
Hearing a code-switch increases bilinguals’ attention to and memory for information
Bilinguals reported greater attention after hearing a code-switch in a story. • Bilinguals remembered material near code-switches better later on. • Monolinguals reported less attention after hearing a code-switch. • Switch saliency alone does not explain the bilingual attention effect. • Code-switches beneficially orient bilinguals’ attention to speech content. In conversation with each other, bilinguals sometimes code-switch between their share…
Linking frequency to bilingual switch costs during real-time sentence comprehension
Bilinguals experience processing costs when comprehending code-switches, yet the magnitude of the cost fluctuates depending on numerous factors. We tested whether switch costs vary based on the frequency of different types of code-switches, as estimated from natural corpora of bilingual speech and text. Spanish–English bilinguals in the U.S. read single-language and code-switched sentences in a self-paced task. Sentence regions containing code-sw…
Taking language science to zoom school
We describe guest speaker presentations that we developed to bring language science to elementary school students via videoconference. By using virtual backgrounds and guided discovery learning, we effectively engage children as young as 7 years in in‐depth explorations of language science concepts. We share the core principles that guide our presentations and describe two of our outreach activities, Speech Detectives and Bilingual Barnyard . We …
