Sažetak
According to executive control models, bilingual language production is under the influence of language control mechanisms activated during speech production. The present study aims to investigate lexical access in bilinguals and monolinguals while taking into consideration their automaticity of this process. We tested three groups of high school children: Croatian German early bilinguals, Croatian native speakers enrolled in a German immersion programme and Croatian monolinguals. We tested the participants on a modified version of the Stroop test in which they were presented with pictures of an animal or an object with names of an animal or an object written over the picture. The names of the objects and animals were written in one of the two languages, Croatian or German, and were either congruent or ncongruent. Bilinguals were overall slower in lexical access in both languages which suggests that automatic processing in both languages engaged more of their cognitive resources.
