Abstract
Monosyllabic tasks were conducted in a dichotic listening study in both English & Chinese to evaluate (1) the effects of processing two acoustically different languages, & (2) the effects of bilingualism. Three pairs of monosyllabic words were presented (N = 28 English-Chinese bilingual & 29 monolingual English undergraduates) such that each ear received a different word at the same time; 20 such sets were presented in both languages, with recall order irrelevant. Results demonstrated that monolingual English Ss have a significant right-ear advantage when identifying English words dichotically, suggesting a left-hemisphere processing component; however, there was no ear effect when the English-Chinese Ss performed the dichotic listening tasks in both Chinese & English. It appears that, with the acquisition of a second language, right-ear dominance seems to be replaced by interhemispheric processing. 1 Table, 32 References. Adapted from the source document
