There is evidence of priming effects in high-level, nonmodular tasks such as the lexical decision task (deciding whether a string of letters is a proper word), even when the prime and the target words are in different languages

Group of answer choices

True

False

True

True

To determine whether the statement is true or false, we need to consider the evidence of priming effects in high-level, nonmodular tasks such as the lexical decision task when the prime and target words are in different languages.

To find the answer, you can conduct a literature search or review relevant studies on priming effects in nonmodular tasks like the lexical decision task. Look for studies that specifically investigate the effects of different languages as primes and targets.

On conducting this search, you will likely come across studies such as "Bilingual lexical activation in sentence contexts: Evidence from five languages" or "Language switching effects in bilingual word recognition: Evidence from eye movements." These studies explore how language priming can impact performance in high-level tasks, including the lexical decision task.

By reading these studies and examining their findings, you will be able to determine whether there is indeed evidence of priming effects in high-level, nonmodular tasks when the prime and target words are in different languages.
