“…In contrast, L2 comprehenders with higher inhibitory control spent less time, indicating once more, a better ability to suppress interference coming from the no longer plausible prediction. This is related to studies showing that the no longer valid initial interpretation is maintained, causing interference and disrupting comprehension in both the L1 (e.g., Blanc et al, 2011;Rapp & Kendeou, 2009) and the L2 (Fujita & Cunnings, 2021;Pérez et al, 2019;Schleicher & Schwartz, 2022). According to the KReC theoretical model, this means that even though the alternative interpretation can be successfully encoded, activated and integrated into the mental representation, the initial prediction is passively reactivated from long-term memory causing competition, and therefore interference.…”
