Visual Semantic Processing and Cognitive Load: Mapping Distinct Processing Patterns in Bilingual Speakers

Poster Session XI

Keyword: Attention and Distraction

Abstract: We examined visual semantic processing in 240 participants (91 bilingual, 149 monolingual) using a mixed factorial design. Reaction time and accuracy measures revealed distinct processing patterns between groups. Bilinguals demonstrated significantly different temporal adaptation patterns and higher cognitive load (NASA-TLX). Results advance understanding of bilingual cognitive processing mechanisms.
