Monolinguals
What did the authors conclude was the main difference in processing between bilinguals and monolinguals?
What did the authors conclude was the main difference in processing between bilinguals and monolinguals?
Increased processing demands in bilinguals due to the need to control two languages, resolve lexical competition, and reduced frequency of articulatory rehearsal.
