But what is the extent of this co-activation? In the present study, we asked whether or not bilingual preschool children activate a shared phonological cohort across languages when hearing words only in their L1. We tested German-English children on a cross-modal priming paradigm. To ensure co-activation of languages, children first heard a short code-switch story. Compared to a monolingual control group, bilingual children in Experiment 1 showed only partial sensitivity to the L1 cohort. Bilingual children who did not hear the code-switch story (Experiment 2) showed priming effects identical to the monolinguals in Experiment 1. Results indicate that under single-language contexts, German-English bilingual preschoolers do not activate the non-target language cohort during word recognition but instead restrict cohort activation to the language of input. In contrast, presentation of the non-target language in the code-switch story appears to shift cohort activation and increase L2 activation, suggesting a highly flexible language system that is in tune to the broader linguistic context. We consider mechanisms of bilingual language control that may enable bilingual toddlers to limit cross-language phonological activation."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1075/bpa.2.03bob"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/9976"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","John Benjamins Publishing"],["dc.publisher.place","Amsterdam"],["dc.relation.crisseries","Bilingual Processing and Acquisition"],["dc.relation.eisbn","978-90-272-6672-9"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-90-272-4372-0"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Cognitive control and consequences in the multilingual mind"],["dc.relation.ispartofseries","Bilingual Processing and Acquisition; 2"],["dc.title","Listening with your cohort: Do bilingual toddlers co-activate cohorts from both languages when hearing words in one language alone?"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
