Automatic Processing of Word Meaning: Intralingual and Interlingual Interference.
Goodman, Gail S.; And Others
Child Development, v56 n1 p103-18 Feb 1985
Studied bilingual children and children learning a second language using a picture-word interference task. The printed distractors interfered with naming both on trials where the distractor and naming language were the same and on trials where they were different. These and other results question whether an "input switch" operates for bilingual word processing. (Author/CB)
