“…The evidence for shared semantics between languages is also quite convincing when high-level problem solving or decision making is involved (Francis, 1999a). Several recent reviews of the studies that support the shared semantics assumption are available (e.g., Francis, 1999bFrancis, , 2005Gollan & Kroll, 2001;Keatley, 1992;Kroll, 1993;Kroll & de Groot, 1997;Kroll & Dijkstra, 2002;Smith, 1997).…”

Bilinguals named pictures in their dominant language more slowly (and with more errors) than did monolinguals. In contrast, bilinguals named the same pictures as quickly as did monolinguals on the fifth presentation (in Experiment 2) and classified them (as human made or natural) as quickly and accurately as did monolinguals (in Experiment 1). In addition, bilinguals retrieved English picture names more quickly if they knew the name in both Spanish and English (on the basis of a translation test that bilinguals completed after the timed tasks), and monolingual response times for the same materials suggested that this finding was not obtained simply because names that were easier to translate were easier in general. These findings suggest that bilinguals differ from monolinguals at a postconceptual processing level, that implicit activation of lexical representations in the nontarget language can facilitate retrieval in the target language, and that being bilingual is analogous to having a lexicon full of lower frequency words, relative to monolinguals.

“…Language-tagging, in a modified form, has remained part of current models of bilingualism and their precise status remains a subject of on-going debate (see [7] for a discussion of language tags). For a comprehensive review of this initial period, see [8] and [9].…”

Bilingual memory research in the past decade and, particularly, in the past five years, has developed a range of sophisticated experimental, neuropsychological and computational techniques that have allowed researchers to begin to answer some of the major long-standing questions of the field. We explore bilingual memory along the lines of the conceptual division of language knowledge and organization, on the one hand, and the mechanisms that operate on that knowledge and organization, on the other. Various interactive-activation and connectionist models of bilingual memory that attempt to incorporate both organizational and operational considerations will serve to bridge these two divisions. Much progress has been made in recent years in bilingual memory research, which also serves to illuminate general (language-independent) memory processes.

“…In the 1980s, with the development of information processing theory, bilingual researchers using reaction time measures attempted to investigate how word representation was processed in the bilingual's different languages. Through introduction of indirect tests of implicit memory in the early 1990s, cross-language lexical decision task (LDT) and semantic priming became the most frequently used paradigms in the study of bilinguals' lexical and conceptual processing (see Keatley, 1992, for a history of bilingualism research in cognitive psychology; see also Appendix for a summary of selected empirical findings across a wide set of memory tasks). In the past decade, along with cognitive neuroscience becoming one of the most studied areas in psychology, bilingual researchers using neuroimaging techniques attempted to find answers to the unresolved issues in the field of bilingualism (see Abutalebi, Cappa, & Perani, 2005, for a comprehensive review of neuroimaging studies in the field of bilingualism).…”
