Experimental study explores translation priming effects in bilinguals, highlighting language direction and task impact.

The research aims to understand how different factors influence translation priming in bilingual individuals.
Conducted eight experiments with 101 Turkish–English bilinguals using a masked priming paradigm.
Compared translation priming effects across two language directions, two task types, and two prime durations.
Assessed individual differences such as L2 proficiency, immersion, and dominance.
Significant translation effects observed for both L1-to-L2 and L2-to-L1 directions across tasks.
Semantic categorization tasks resulted in greater priming compared to lexical decision tasks.
Distinction found between pre-conscious processing with 50-ms primes and conscious processing with 83-ms primes.
