Built with Experiment
In this Experiment, Dutch-English bilinguals responded to naming the ink colour of either neutral items (animals) or incongruent items (colour words, not consistent with the ink colour). These item types were presented in separate blocks. Participants either responded to naming the ink in Dutch or English and completed an equal number of language switch vs repetition across both languages (i.e. switching from Dutch to English, or English to Dutch; or remaining within the same language from one trial to the next).
The Experiment also contains a microphone check, as well as a demo and practice block. It also contains some language and demographic background questionnaires and English and Dutch versions of the LexTale task to measure language proficiency (Lemhöfer & Broersma, 2012).
