Watkins, Michael J.; Peynircioglu, Zehra F. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1983
Two experiments are reported testing bilinguals' recall of words presented in one of two languages and under several conditions. Performance was best when the individuals had seen the word itself, less good when they had seen the other language's equivalent, and equally or least good when they had seen neither. (MSE)
