Document Summary

Early research proved contradictory they provided evidence of support for both views. Within-language facilitation was observed if you see/hear the same words twice you"re going to remember them better than the ones you only heard/saw once: cross-language repetition. Study: kolers (1963) - gave bilinguals a list of words in one language and asked them to list the first word that came to mind after reading each word (ex. White snow: he then gave them the same words in the other language and asked them to do the same thing, the proportion of shared responses to translation equivalents was quite low. Performance declines over trials when lists all include objects of the same category proactive interference from previous lists. Performance increases when a list of new objects is presented (goggin and higgins) spanish-english bilinguals saw a set of 3 lists with words in the same category and same language. Lead to a decline in recall from lists 1-3.
