Abstract
Bilinguals’ ability to switch between languages and avoid cross language interference has been associated with improved control mechanisms. This study shows that two bilingual groups with comparable performance on the Flanker task differ in their susceptibility to cross-language interference. Russian-German bilinguals experience more interference errors in German than German-English bilinguals.
