This choice of 33 papers represents the most up-tp-date considering andresearch at the examine of cognitive processing in bilingual participants. Thecontributors contain famous figures within the box and promising newscholars, representing 4 continents and paintings in dozens of languages.Instead of the social, political, or academic implications ofbilingualism, the point of interest is on how bilingual humans (mostly adults) thinkand method language.

Описание: В 1966 году в Национальной библиотеке в Мадриде были обнаружены два манускрипта, написанные Леонардо. Когда-то они не были учтены при каталогизации, и об их существовании не было известно. Этим двум манускриптам дали условные названия «Мадридский кодекс I» и «Мадридский кодекс II».
«Мадридский кодекс I» состоит из 192 листов 1490—1499 годов написания, содержащих изображения различных механизмов и изложения теории механики. Хотя работа и посвящена механике, в ней есть заметки по астрономии и по оптике.
«Мадридский кодекс II» был создан Леонардо в 1503—1505 гг. и состоит из 158 листов. Он собрал исследования в области геометрии, такие, например, как «квадратуры круга». Кроме этого, в нём содержатся работы по перспективе и оптике. В книге можно найти эскизы морских и топографических карт, рассматриваются проблемы военной техники и архитектуры. Самое интересное в этом кодексе — неосуществлённый проект изменения русла реки Арно, эскизы фрески «Битва при Ангиари» и конного памятника Франческо Сфорца.

The authors concluded these differences occurred because the tasks were data-driven (see discussion of Durgunoglu and Roediger in previous section). They suggested, as did Magiste, that bilinguals are at a disadvantage on data-driven tasks because they spend less time processing words in their first language. The above experiments examined whether knowledge of a second language interferes with the access of L1 words of the shared conceptual store. Meanwhile, Potter, So, Von Eckhardt and Feldman (1984) compared processing times to test more precise hypotheses about how the L2 words access the conceptual representations.

Influence of an Inactive Laneuage on an Active Laneuag The experiments in this section also focus on the question of whether knowledge of an inactive language influences functioning in an active language. Ervin (1961) studied this by observing how monolingual Navaho and bilingual Navaho-English subjects label colours, for the colour label categories are different in the two languages. She found the bilinguals labeled colours differently from the monolinguals in their native language, with differences consistent with the organization of colour labels in the inactive language, English.

As models were developed incorporating the idea that there are different levels and structures in processing words, experimenters became concerned whether their tests reflected the level of processing they sought to describe. The primed LDT was at first taken as a good vehicle for revealing the organization of the representations of concepts. Soon, however, researchers began to argue that it may reflect other processes in memory. The arguments that surround how to interpret the results of the primed LDT, and the arguments about the organization of bilingual memory, share a theoretical basis.
