 For example, she showed that when Russian-English bilinguals were asked to pick up a marker, they also made eye movements to a stamp, because the Russian word for stamp "(marka") shared phonological form with the target English word and became co-activated.This research showed, for the first time, that, as words unfold, phonological input gets mapped onto both of a bilingual's languages.Marian has since extended these findings to Spanish-English, German-English and even ASL-English bilinguals, the latter showing that co-activation of two languages can take place across modalities and relies not only on bottom-up, but also on top-down and lateral processes.
