Abstract
An ongoing controversy in the negative priming (NP) literature is whether NP effects can be obtained when a large pool of words are used.
Experiment 1 presents the first priming study conducted in an African language, Twi a native language of Ghana, with Twi (L1) - English (L2) bilinguals. Both “attended repetition” (positive priming), and “ignored repetition” (negative priming) manipulations with words were tracked from L1 to L2.
In Experiment 2 the priming was in the L2 to L1 (i.e., English to Twi), instead of L1 to L2 (i.e., Twi to English) direction.
Sample with Twi stimuli. Exp 1 the probe target word was in English. Exp 2 prime words were both in English.
