On the recruitment of semantic information for word fragment completion: evidence from bilingual priming

This research provides evidence that the retrieval of semantic information at test is dependent on initial study condition. Sentence processing at study leads to semantic involvement at test, and hence to between-language priming. In contrast, after the study of random-word lists, only lexical information is recruited at test, resulting in within-language priming but no between-language priming
