The aim is to understand how language switching influences semantic interference in Chinese-English bilinguals.
Conducted two behavioral experiments using a cross-language semantic competitor priming paradigm.
Analyzed data using linear mixed-effects models and generalized linear mixed-effects models.
Simulated computational models to compare inhibitory and non-inhibitory mechanisms.
L2 production shows cross-language semantic interference under non-switch conditions (p<0.05) but not in switch conditions.
L1 production did not exhibit semantic interference in any condition.
Computational simulations aligned with behavioral results, supporting the proposed dual-mechanism account.
