The influence of cross-language similarity on within- and between-language Stroop effects in trilinguals (2011)
Journal Article

This study investigated effects of cross-language similarity on within- and between-language Stroop interference and facilitation in three groups of trilinguals. Trilinguals were either proficient in three languages that use the same-script (alphabet...

Electrophysiological measures of conflict detection and resolution in the Stroop task (2011)
Journal Article

Conflict detection and resolution is crucial in a cognitive task like the Stroop task. Previous studies have identified an early negativity component (Ninc) as a prominent marker of Stroop conflict in event-related potentials (ERPs). However, to what...

Seeing a phrase “time and again” matters: the role of phrasal frequency in the processing of multiword sequences (2011)
Journal Article

Are speakers sensitive to the frequency with which phrases occur in language. The authors report an eye-tracking study that investigates this by examining the processing of multiword sequences that differ in phrasal frequency by native and proficient...

Adding more fuel to the fire: an eye-tracking study of idiom processing by native and non-native speaker (2011)
Journal Article

Using eye-tracking, we investigate on-line processing of idioms in a biasing story context by native and non-native speakers of English. The stimuli are idioms used figuratively (at the end of the day – ‘eventually’), literally (at the end of the day...

Fast automatic translation and morphological decomposition in Chinese- English bilinguals (2011)
Journal Article

In this study, we investigated automatic translation from English to Chinese and subsequent morphological decomposition of translated Chinese compounds. In two lexical decision tasks, Chinese-English bilinguals responded to English target words that...
