Revised hierarchal model (Kroll and Stewart, 1994)
Three things: First language, second language, concepts
Research:
1. Travel times: L1–>L2 (slower); L1L2 and L2–>L1 are approximately the same
-Dunabeitia, Perea, and Carreiras (2010) - Translational priming
Priming effect was similar in both directions - RHM supported
-Dijkstra & Van Heuven (1998) - Integrated/Non-selective Model (Bilingual Activation Model)
Bilingual Interactive Activation Model
Four levels: Language, Words, Letters, Visual Features
The levels interact with each other
Words from both languages are represented at the word level
The language helps identify the language and inhibit the irrelevant language
Other words> Cognates, interlingual homographs, supports the bilingual interactive activation model
Words that have the same spelling, but different meanings across languages
Interlingual homographs
Words that have similar spelling and meaning across languages
Cognates
