{"pk":25637,"title":"Priming bicultural bilingual Latino-Americans as Latino or American modulates\naccess to the Spanish and English meaning of interlingual homographs","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Using Spanish-English bilingual Latino-Americans, this study\ntested whether priming Latino or American cultural\nrepresentations facilitated the accessibility of the Spanish\nmeaning or English meaning of Spanish-English homographs.\nSeventy-four participants were randomly assigned to a Latino\nprime, American prime, or no prime condition. After being\nprimed, subjects performed an English lexical decision task\nwherein they indicated whether a letter string formed an\nEnglish word. Homographs, English controls, and non-words\nwere included in the array. As predicted, there was a\nsignificant prime condition by word type interaction, F(2,\n70)= 5.48, p= .006, partial eta squared = .136, suggesting that\nprime condition modulated reaction times to homographs.\nPlanned contrasts showed that participants in the Latino prime\ncondition had slower reaction times to homographs than\nEnglish controls, F(1, 22)= 4.84, p= .039, partial eta squared\n= .180, suggesting that the Latino prime facilitated access to\nhomographs’ Spanish meaning.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Bilingual"},{"word":"Bicultural"},{"word":"Homographs"},{"word":"Semantic\nRepresentations"},{"word":"Cultural Representations"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5d09c0kc","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Benjamin","middle_name":"Uel","last_name":"Marsh","name_suffix":"","institution":"Azusa Pacific University","department":""},{"first_name":"Jean-Paul","middle_name":"","last_name":"Snijder","name_suffix":"","institution":"Azusa Pacific University","department":""},{"first_name":"Marina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Pulver","name_suffix":"","institution":"Azusa Pacific University","department":""},{"first_name":"Janna","middle_name":"","last_name":"Schirmer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Azusa Pacific University","department":""},{"first_name":"Ashley","middle_name":"","last_name":"Horiuchi","name_suffix":"","institution":"Azusa Pacific University","department":""},{"first_name":"Brandon","middle_name":"","last_name":"Reynoso","name_suffix":"","institution":"Azusa Pacific University","department":""},{"first_name":"Veronica","middle_name":"","last_name":"Johnson","name_suffix":"","institution":"Azusa Pacific University","department":""},{"first_name":"Hyun","middle_name":"Seo","last_name":"Lee","name_suffix":"","institution":"Azusa Pacific University","department":""},{"first_name":"Natalie","middle_name":"","last_name":"Koskela","name_suffix":"","institution":"Azusa Pacific University","department":""},{"first_name":"Raul","middle_name":"","last_name":"Fajardo","name_suffix":"","institution":"Azusa Pacific University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25637/galley/15261/download/"}]}
