The timing and magnitude of Stroop interference and facilitation in monolinguals and bilinguals (2013)
Journal Article

Executive control abilities and lexical access speed in Stroop performance were investigated in English monolinguals and two groups of bilinguals (English–Chinese and Chinese–English) in their first (L1) and second (L2) languages. Predictions were ba... Read More about The timing and magnitude of Stroop interference and facilitation in monolinguals and bilinguals.

However, the extent to which people process subtitles under different subtitling conditions... Read More about Processing of native and foreign language subtitles in films: an eye tracking study.

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...
