“…Only one previous study has examined the influence of age of acquisition on the performance of bilinguals. In a study of written picture naming in Spanish-English/English-Spanish bilinguals, Goggin, Estrada and Villarreal (1994) found higher levels of name agreement for early-acquired English words; this effect was stronger in their less skilled bilingual group. Effects of Spanish AoA on name agreement in Spanish were not examined due to a lack of normative data.…”

We explored the role of age of acquisition in picture naming with a group of unbalanced, late bilinguals and a group of monolinguals. We hypothesised that we would find effects of L2 age of acquisition on L2 picture naming performance in late bilinguals if the age of acquisition effects we and others have found in L1 picture naming are not limited to language capabilities acquired early in the lifespan. In Experiment 1, late bilingual Spanish–English participants named a large set of pictures in their L2 (English). The most important predictor of naming ability was L2 age of acquisition. In Experiment 2, monolingual English participants named the same pictures. Naming speed was predicted by L1 age of acquisition. Hence speed of picture naming in a given language was predicted by age of acquisition values for that language, that is, L2 values predicted L2 performance (Experiment 1) and L1 values predicted L1 performance (Experiment 2). On the basis of these results we conclude that age of acquisition effects are not restricted to items learned before any putative critical period, but should be observed for items learned at any age. That is, age of acquisition effects are more likely to be due to the relative order in which items are acquired within a language.

“…Items were selected with the requirement that their pictures and names were identifiable and nonredundant in both English and Spanish; items thought to be too difficult and items shown to have low name agreement in English or Spanish were also avoided. The names used as stimuli and target responses were the most frequent English and Spanish responses to those pictures in a norming study conducted with students in the El Paso-Juárez region (Goggin, Estrada, & Villareal, 1994), with average name agreement levels of 92% in English and 90% in Spanish. The mean letter lengths were 5.6 in English and 6.1 in Spanish, with a median English frequency of 14 per million (Kuçera & Francis, 1967).…”

Translation in fluent bilinguals requires comprehension of a stimulus word and subsequent production, or retrieval and articulation, of the response word. Four repetition-priming experiments with Spanish-English bilinguals (N = 274) decomposed these processes using selective facilitation to evaluate their unique priming contributions and factorial combination to evaluate the degree of process overlap or dependence. In Experiment 1, symmetric priming between semantic classification and translation tasks indicated that bilinguals do not covertly translate words during semantic classification. In Experiments 2 and 3, semantic classification of words and word-cued picture drawing facilitated word comprehension processes of translation, and picture naming facilitated word production processes. These effects were independent, consistent with a sequential model and with the conclusion that neither semantic classification nor word-cued picture drawing elicits covert translation. Experiment 4 showed that two tasks involving word retrieval processes, written word translation and picture naming, had subadditive effects on later translation. Incomplete transfer from written translation to spoken translation indicated that preparation for articulation also benefited from repetition in the less fluent language.

“…The mean letter lengths of the expected English and Spanish responses were 5.6 and 6.1, respectively. The mean percentage name agreement was 91.9% for English monolinguals naming in English and 89.8% for Spanish monolinguals naming in Spanish (Goggin et al, 1994). The items were randomly assigned to 8 sets of 25.…”

Two experiments with highly fluent Spanish-English bilinguals examined repetition priming of picture identification and word retrieval in picture naming. In Experiment 1, between-language priming of picture naming was symmetric, but within-language priming was stronger in the nondominant language. In Experiment 2, priming between picture naming and translation was symmetric within both the dominant language and the nondominant language, but priming was stronger in the nondominant language. A mathematical model required only 3 process parameters to explain the pattern of priming across 8 conditions. These results indicate that shared processes are the basis of priming, that difficulty influences priming only at the process level, and that translation in both directions is concept mediated in fluent bilinguals.
