Bilinguals’ inhibitory control and attentional processes in a visual perceptual task (2020)
Journal Article
Wimmer, M. C., Marx, C., Stirk, S., & Hancock, P. J. (2021). Bilinguals’ inhibitory control and attentional processes in a visual perceptual task. Psychological Research, 85, 1439-1448. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00426-020-01333-0

The aim was to examine theories of bilingual inhibitory control superiority in the visual domain. In an ambiguous figure task the ability to reverse (switch) interpretations (e.g., duckrabbit) was examined in 3-5-year-old bilinguals and monolinguals...
