Key Points

To determine how the intelligibility of visual stimuli alters the activation and influence of native language (L1) representations during second language (L2) word recognition.
Psycholinguistic visual word recognition testing under varying levels of visual stimulus clarity and intelligibility.
Behavioral assessment of cross-linguistic lexical activation and L1 interference during target L2 word processing.
Stimulus intelligibility significantly altered the magnitude of first-language transfer effects during second-language visual word recognition.
Perceptual degradation of word stimuli systematically regulated cross-linguistic activation, demonstrating that sensory clarity constrains native language co-activation.
