Abstract:
Background and Aim : In the present study, we examined bilingual memory organization, using the masked priming paradigm. The aim of the present research was to study the differences of first and second language understanding in bilingual students.Methods : In this experiment 51 Turkish–Persian bilinguals participated in a semantic and translation masked priming study in which a lexical decision task was used.Results : The results revealed significant translation-priming effects in the L1-L2 directions and, also, significant semantic priming in the L1–L2 direction. Furthermore students participated in a non-semantic task. The results revealed no differences in reaction time of students in both L1-L2 and L2-L1 direction.Conclusion : With regard to models of bilingual lexical memory, the revised hierarchical model, it is successful in predicting the semantic- and translation priming asymmetries that have been reported. Since the link between the conceptual store and the L2 lexicon is weaker than the link between the conceptual store and the L1 lexicon, it has been suggested that priming in the L2–L1 direction will be weaker and lower in magnitude than that obtained in the L1–L2 direction. This phenomenon can be attributed to the fact that less semantic information is accessed in the L2, resulting in decreased priming effects for both semantic and translation word pairs in the L2– L1 direction. And maybe, because the letters in the two languages are the same, and it doesn t make any difference in non-semantic task.
